dacron fibre

If you want cushions that look full, feel soft and hold their shape, dacron fibre is one of the most useful materials you can keep in your workroom. This lightweight polyester filling adds loft and comfort to pillows, seat pads and upholstered furniture, and it is easy to cut, shape and handle.

What Is Dacron Fibre?

Dacron is a well-known name for polyester fiber. In sewing and upholstery, it usually comes in two forms: loose polyester fiberfill for stuffing, and bonded sheets, often called dacron wrap or batting, for covering foam.

Common Uses

• Upholstery: wrap foam cushions for rounded edges and a smoother fit.
• Pillows and cushions: stuff throw pillows, bolsters and pet beds.
• Crafts: fill soft toys, quilted projects and padded accessories.

What to Look For

Consider loft, or thickness, for how plump the finished piece should be. Check whether the product is loose fill or a bonded sheet, and think about how much resilience your project needs. Seats get daily use, so they benefit from filling that recovers its shape well.
