bonded dacron for cushions
If your cushions look flat, boxy or lumpy, bonded dacron for cushions is the simple fix upholsterers have relied on for decades. Wrapped around foam before the cover goes on, this polyester batting softens hard edges, fills out corners and gives seat and back cushions that plump, professional finish.
Why Wrap Cushion Foam With Dacron?
Bare foam can feel firm and show every seam line through the fabric. A layer of dacron wrap adds loft and a gentle crown, helps covers slide on more easily and reduces friction between foam and fabric, which can help protect your upholstery over time.
What "Bonded" Means
Bonded polyester batting has its fibers treated so they hold together as a stable sheet. That makes it easier to cut, glue and handle than loose fiberfill, and it is less likely to shift or clump inside the cover.
How to Choose the Right Batting
- Loft: Thinner wraps suit tailored, crisp cushions; thicker layers create a softer, rounder look.
- Width: Pick a roll wide enough to wrap your foam in as few pieces as possible.
- Project type: Consider indoor sofas, dining chairs, headboards or outdoor seating.
