dacron batting 1/2 inch
If your cushions look flat, boxy or lumpy under their covers, dacron batting 1/2 inch thick is often the missing layer. Upholsterers wrap this soft polyester batting around foam to round out sharp edges, fill out fabric covers and give seats, backs and headboards a smooth, professional finish.
Why Use Half-Inch Dacron Batting?
A 1/2 inch layer adds noticeable softness and loft without making cushions oversized. It also helps reduce friction between foam and fabric, so covers slide on more easily during assembly.

What to Look For
Compare the width of the roll to the size of your foam so you can wrap each piece in one continuous layer. Bonded polyester fiber batting typically holds together better while you cut and staple, and it is less likely to shift or pull apart inside the cover. Consider how much yardage your project needs, including extra for wrapping the sides and back of each cushion.
