For upholstery, you can use an upholstery staple gun. These are fantastic for mature fabric and more industrial use. There are a few different upholstery staple guns on the market, and it's best to purchase one that best fits your needs.  Measure the material you intend to work with so that you know the thickness, width, and length that you need your staples in the staple gun to be. You will also want to consider whether you want an air-powered or electric stapler. Air-powered ones tend to be less expensive, but you will likely need an air compressor too with this.  It’s worth considering these factors before moving forward and selecting your staple gun. Most people opt for a 20 gauge or 22 gauge upholstery stapler and staples that are suitable for these.  Those with more experience might want to try a long nose upholstery stapler. These have an extended nose and can squeeze into smaller spaces. We usually see these used with more skilled projects where you need to maneuver into tricky spaces For small and simple upholstery work, you won’t need to worry about one of these and can stick to a standard nose upholstery stapler.
