dacron roll

A dacron roll is the secret behind cushions that look full, feel soft, and keep their crisp shape for years. Upholsterers wrap this polyester batting around foam before the cover goes on, and the difference is easy to see: rounded edges, smoother fabric, and a plush, inviting finish.

Why Use Dacron Batting?

Bare foam can feel firm and leave fabric looking flat or wrinkled. A layer of dacron wrap softens the surface, fills the cover so it fits snugly, and reduces friction between foam and fabric, which helps your upholstery wear more evenly.

• Seat and back cushions for sofas, chairs, and benches
• Outdoor and patio cushions that need a smooth fit
• Headboards, ottomans, and dining chairs

Choosing the Right Upholstery Batting Roll

Loft and Weight

Thinner polyester batting adds subtle softness and works well under tight covers, while higher-loft options give a fuller, more crowned look.

Width and Coverage

Measure your foam on all sides, including the depth, so a single piece can wrap the cushion without awkward seams.
