dacron polyester padding
If your cushions look boxy, feel firm at the edges or show every seam, dacron polyester padding is the simple fix. This soft, springy polyester batting wraps around foam and furniture frames to fill out fabric, smooth hard corners and give upholstery that full, plump, professional look.
Why Upholsterers Use Dacron Batting
Polyester upholstery padding adds a light layer of loft between foam and fabric. It helps covers slide on more easily, reduces friction that wears fabric over time and softens the feel of a seat or back.
Common Uses
- Wrapping foam for seat, bench and patio cushions
- Padding headboards, ottomans and dining chair seats
- Rounding out arms and backs during furniture reupholstery
- Adding loft to pillows, pet beds and craft projects
What to Look For
Consider the thickness and loft you need: a thinner layer suits tight-fitting covers, while a loftier wrap creates a softer, crowned cushion. Bonded dacron is often preferred for wrapping foam because it holds together and handles well while you work. Also check the roll width so it covers your cushion in one piece.
