batting for cushion wrap
The right batting for cushion wrap turns a boxy slab of foam into a plump, professional-looking cushion. A layer of batting softens hard foam edges, fills out the corners of your cover, and helps fabric slide on smoothly while protecting it from rubbing against the foam over time.
Why Wrap Foam with Batting?
Bare foam can feel firm and look flat once it is covered. Foam wrap batting adds a gentle crown to seat and back cushions, takes up a little slack in loose covers, and reduces friction that wears upholstery fabric thin.
What to Look For
Fiber Type
Polyester batting for foam, often called Dacron wrap, resists moisture and mildew and holds its loft, which makes it a popular pick for indoor and outdoor cushions. Cotton blends offer a denser, more natural feel.
Loft and Finish
- Low loft for a crisp, tailored look
- Medium to high loft for a softer, rounded profile
- Bonded polyester batting for less shifting and fewer loose fibers
Width and Quantity
Measure around your foam and add a little extra so the batting fully covers the top, bottom, and front edge.
