dacron fiber

If you want plump pillows, smooth cushions or cozy quilts, dacron fiber is one of the most dependable fills you can choose. Dacron is a trade name for polyester fiber, and sewists, upholsterers and crafters reach for it because it is lightweight, resilient and easy to work with.

Why Choose Dacron Fiber?

Compared with cotton fill, polyester holds its loft and tends to resist clumping and mildew. Compared with foam alone, it adds a soft, rounded feel. Many projects use both, wrapping foam in a layer of fiber for a finished look.

Common Uses

• Pillow stuffing for throw pillows, plush toys and pet beds
• Dacron wrap over foam for chair, bench and sofa cushions
• Polyester batting for quilts, padded bags and placemats

What to Look For

Match the form to your project. Loose polyester fiberfill is ideal for stuffing shapes, while rolled upholstery batting or bonded wrap gives even coverage over foam and frames. Check the thickness, width and loft listed for each item, and consider how firm or soft you want the final piece to feel.
