dacron pillow stuffing

A pillow is only as good as what's inside it, and Dacron pillow stuffing is the go-to filling for sewists who want soft, springy cushions that hold their shape. Made from polyester fiber, Dacron fill is lightweight, resists clumping, and doesn't trigger the allergies some people get from down or feathers, making it a smart pick for everything from throw pillows to plush toys.

Why Sewists Choose Dacron Fill

Polyester fiberfill bounces back after squishing, keeps its loft through daily use, and is easy to work with on any project size. It also pairs well with nearly any cover fabric, from cotton prints to velvet and outdoor canvas.

Loose Fiber vs. Dacron Batting

• Loose fiberfill is ideal for throw pillows, pillow forms, and stuffed shapes where you control the firmness.
• Dacron batting or wrap goes around foam cushions to soften edges and give a fuller, rounded look.

What to Look For

Consider the loft you want, whether the project needs to be washable, and how firm the finished piece should feel. Pull fiber apart into fluffy tufts before stuffing to avoid lumps, and fill corners first for crisp edges.
