batting for cushions
The right batting for cushions is what turns a firm foam insert into a seat that looks plump and feels inviting. Whether you're refreshing dining chair pads, sewing throw pillows, or rebuilding a window seat, a layer of batting softens edges, fills out covers, and helps your fabric drape smoothly.
What to Look for in Cushion Batting
Fiber Type
Polyester batting is resilient, resists moisture, and tends to hold its shape, which makes it a popular choice for outdoor and high-use cushions. Cotton batting feels natural and breathable, while blends offer a balance of softness and durability.
Loft and Thickness
High loft batting adds a rounded, crowned look to box cushions and pillow forms. Thinner, denser upholstery batting works well for chair pads and headboards where you want a smooth, tailored finish.
How You'll Use It
- Foam wrap: Wrap foam inserts to keep covers from shifting and to fill out corners.
- Extra layers: Stack sheets to rebuild thin or flattened cushions.
- Outdoor seating: Choose synthetic fibers that dry quickly.
