Discuss a piece →Les, Toby & Ben Hymas · 67 High Street, Hadleigh · Est. 1995
A family-run traditional upholstery workshop in Hadleigh, Suffolk. Les Hymas opened the doors in 1995; his sons Toby and Ben have joined the bench. Edwardian and Victorian sofas and chairs reupholstered with hand stitching and horsehair sprung seating — plus headboards, ottomans, loose covers, scatter cushions, campervan and marine seating, restaurant and café reupholstery.
A passion for detail
Born from Les's passion for restoring unique antique furniture using traditional methods, Hymas & Sons has evolved into a family operation. Pick your own fabric or leather, bring us a piece you love, and we'll restore it to original condition — or beyond.
