dacron polyester batting
A soft, rounded finish starts beneath the fabric. Dacron polyester batting is the go-to layer for upholsterers and home sewists who want cushions, headboards, and quilts that look full, feel plush, and hold their shape. Wrapped around foam or layered into a project, it smooths hard edges and helps your cover fabric lie neatly.
Why Choose Polyester Batting
Polyester fiber batting is lightweight and resilient, and it tends to resist mildew. Unlike some natural fillings, it springs back after compression, so seat cushions and pillows keep their crown with everyday use.
Common Uses
- Foam wrap for sofa, chair, and bench cushions
- Padding for headboards, ottomans, and dining seats
- Quilt batting and padded crafts
- Softening worn furniture during reupholstery
What to Look For
Consider loft (thickness) and weight: thinner wraps add subtle softness, while higher-loft batting creates a fuller, rounded profile. Bonded polyester batting has a treated surface that helps limit fiber migration and makes it easier to handle. Match the width and roll size to your project so you can cover pieces with fewer seams.
