bonded dacron

Bonded dacron is the upholsterer's secret to cushions that look full, plump, and professionally finished. This polyester batting wraps around foam to soften hard edges, fill out the cover fabric, and give seats and backs that crisp, rounded look you see on quality furniture.

What Makes Bonded Dacron Different

Unlike loose fiberfill, bonded dacron has its polyester fibers bonded together, so the batting holds its shape, resists shifting inside the cover, and is easy to cut and handle. It adds gentle loft without the clumping you can get from unbonded stuffing.

Common Uses

• Wrapping foam for seat, back, and outdoor cushions
• Padding headboards, ottomans, and benches
• Smoothing the surface under tight upholstery fabric
• Reupholstering chairs, sofas, and boat or RV seating

What to Look For

Choose a thickness that matches your project: lighter upholstery batting suits a subtle smoothing layer, while a heavier foam wrap delivers a fuller crown. Check the roll width against your cushion dimensions so you can wrap the foam with minimal seams, and consider using spray adhesive to keep the dacron in place.
