dacron sheets

If your cushions look lumpy or your foam feels hard at the edges, dacron sheets are the simple fix upholsterers rely on. These layers of polyester fiber wrap around foam to add soft loft, round out corners and help fabric glide smoothly into place. The result is a full, professional finish on chairs, benches and sofa cushions.

Why Upholsterers Use Dacron Wrap

Dacron batting sits between the foam and the cover fabric. It cushions the surface, fills the gaps that make covers look baggy, and reduces friction so the fabric doesn't rub directly against the foam.

• Softens firm foam for a plush feel
• Fills out covers for a crisp, rounded shape
• Helps protect upholstery fabric from wear

Choosing the Right Polyester Batting

Thickness and Loft

Thinner wraps suit tight seat cushions and headboards. Loftier batting works well for back cushions and pillows that should look generously full.

Bonded or Unbonded

Bonded batting holds together during handling and resists shifting, which makes it a popular choice as a foam wrap. Check each product description for the type before you buy.
