repadding
Restoring soft filling
Repadding is the process of adding new padding to something that was previously padded—typically furniture, clothing, or equipment.
A chair might need repadding when its cushion compresses over time; a bra might need repadding after washing.
The upholsterer quoted us three hundred dollars for repadding the dining chairs.
