cushion wrap

A great cushion starts beneath the fabric. Cushion wrap is the soft layer of polyester batting that goes around foam before the cover goes on. It rounds sharp edges and fills out the cover so it looks plump instead of flat. It also helps the fabric slide on smoothly. Whether you are redoing a sofa seat, a bench pad or patio cushions, the right wrap makes the result look professional.

Why Wrap Your Foam?

• A fuller look: The batting fills corners and seams so covers fit snugly without wrinkles.
• Comfort: It adds a soft surface over firmer foam.
• Protection: It reduces friction between foam and fabric, which can help both last longer.

What to Look For

Thickness and Loft

Thinner polyester batting gives a tailored, crisp shape. Loftier foam wrap creates a rounded, crowned profile that suits seat and back cushions.

Bonded vs. Unbonded

Bonded polyester batting, often called dacron wrap, holds together better during handling and resists shifting. That makes it a popular choice for upholstery.

Width and Coverage

Measure around your foam, front to back, and add extra for overlap so you can wrap it in one piece.
