fire barrier batting
Fire barrier batting is the hidden layer that helps upholstered furniture, cushions and mattresses resist ignition and slow the spread of flame. Placed between the outer fabric and the foam or fill, it adds an important margin of safety without changing the look of your finished piece.
Why Use a Fire Barrier Layer?
Foam and many fills are easy to ignite on their own. A flame resistant interliner acts as a shield, helping keep heat away from the core. It is a smart choice for home projects and often a requirement for commercial seating, rental properties and hospitality furniture.
Common Uses
- Upholstered chairs, sofas and headboards
- Seat cushions and bench pads
- Mattresses and mattress toppers
- Boat, RV and booth seating
What to Look For
When comparing flame retardant batting or fire retardant wadding, consider:
- Fire performance: confirm it meets the codes or standards your project requires.
- Loft and weight: thinner options keep a crisp profile; thicker ones add softness.
- Width: choose a size that wraps your foam with minimal seams.
- Feel: a soft hand helps the upholstery fabric drape smoothly.
