dacron seat padding
Dacron seat padding is the quiet secret behind cushions that look plump, crisp and professionally finished. Wrapped around foam before the fabric goes on, this polyester batting softens hard edges, fills out corners and helps your upholstery fabric glide smoothly over the cushion instead of clinging to the foam.
Why Wrap Foam with Dacron Batting
A layer of polyester upholstery batting does more than add comfort. It also:
- Rounds out edges for a fuller, crowned look
- Reduces friction so covers slip on easily and wear more evenly
- Fills small gaps between the foam and a snug cover
- Adds a soft hand to dining chairs, benches and patio cushions
Choosing the Right Upholstery Padding
Consider Thickness and Loft
Thinner foam wrap works well for tailored dining seats, while a loftier layer suits lounge cushions and headboards that call for a softer, rounded profile.
Look for Bonded Dacron
Bonded dacron has a finished surface that holds together, resists shifting and is easier to cut, wrap and glue in place.
