dacron batting

Dacron batting is the quiet hero behind plump, professional-looking cushions and smooth upholstery. This soft polyester batting wraps around foam or pads furniture frames to round out sharp edges and fill fabric snugly. The result is a fuller, more inviting look on every seat.

Why Upholsterers Reach for Dacron Batting

Polyester batting resists mildew and holds its loft through regular use. Wrapping foam with it also reduces friction between the foam and your upholstery fabric. That helps covers slide on easily and wear more evenly.

Popular Uses

• Foam wrap for seat, back and outdoor cushions
• Padding for headboards, ottomans and benches
• Smoothing chair arms and furniture frames
• Adding loft to quilts, pillows and craft projects

What to Look For

Choose a thickness and loft that matches the look you want. Check whether the batting is bonded or unbonded, and make sure the width covers your project in one piece. Bonded upholstery batting is easier to handle and less likely to shift. Thicker cushion batting gives a crowned, overstuffed finish.
