cushion fill

The right cushion fill decides whether a seat feels supportive or sags after a season. Whether you're recovering dining chairs, stuffing throw pillows or building patio seating, matching the filling to the job keeps your project comfortable and good-looking for years.

Choosing the Best Cushion Fill for Your Project

Start with how the cushion will be used. A pillow on a bed needs very different support than a bench seat or a lounge cushion left outdoors.

Foam for Firm Support

Upholstery foam holds its shape under weight, making it ideal for seat cushions, window seats and benches. Look at thickness and density: denser foam generally feels firmer and lasts longer. For patio furniture, choose outdoor cushion foam designed to drain water and dry quickly.

Fiberfill for Soft, Plump Shapes

Polyester fiberfill is a lightweight, easy-to-use pillow stuffing for throw pillows, toys and quilted projects. It can be packed loosely for a soft feel or firmly for structure, and it's simple to adjust as you sew.

Wraps and Inserts

Batting wrapped around foam softens sharp edges and fills out covers, while ready-made cushion inserts save time on standard sizes.
