A button press is an essential upholstery tool used to create fabric-covered buttons with a clean, uniform and professional finish. These buttons are a defining feature in classic and contemporary furniture designs, including Chesterfield sofas, tufted headboards, buttoned chairs and decorative cushions. Using a dedicated button press ensures every button is shaped consistently and securely, maintaining high standards of craftsmanship.
Consistency is critical in upholstery, particularly for deep-buttoned furniture where alignment and durability are immediately visible. A button press applies even pressure across the button shell and back, reducing fabric creasing and preventing loose or uneven buttons. This helps upholsterers produce furniture that looks refined and performs well over time.
Button presses are widely used by professional upholsterers, furniture manufacturers and restoration specialists across the UK. They are also suitable for experienced DIY users who want professional-quality results rather than hand-assembled alternatives.
At Livedale, we supply button press tools selected for durability, ease of use and reliable performance in real upholstery environments. Whether producing a single bespoke piece or working on larger production runs, a quality button press improves efficiency and finish.
