I just had our whole interior re-upholstered. Our 25 year old fabric was rotted from age and poor storage.

Because I live a couple of hours from the boat, I took them to an auto trim shop and had them done in a very rugged, but soft synthetic auto fabric. They turned out very nicely. Better than what you see on a new boat. I think we spent about $2500 for our 30 footer. We had the following covered: V berths (2 pcs), filler (1 pc), vanity seat (1 pc), settee (6pcs.), and dinette (4 pcs)

If you want changes in shape, a good upholsterer can add foam to do that.

My advice is do not replace the foam if you don't have to. The foam is usually the most costly component of the job. We salvaged all but one of ours, and that one was physically missing when we bought the boat. We put some of what we saved into higher grade fabric.

Our upholsterer checked them all and reported that they were of excellent quality, high density,high resilience foam and that they were perfectly serviceable. He did wrap them with a batting material (also synthetic, I think) to give a more luxurious feel and some initial softness.
