fire retardant batting
When a project will sit near heat, light or open flame, fire retardant batting adds peace of mind without giving up loft or comfort. Whether you are padding a cushion, building a stage prop or layering a quilt for a public space, the right filler helps your work meet safety expectations while still feeling soft and professional.
Why Choose Flame Resistant Batting?
Standard polyester or cotton batting can ignite and spread flame quickly. Flame resistant batting is either treated with a retardant finish or made from inherently flame resistant fibers, so it is slower to ignite and less likely to keep burning.
Common Uses
- Upholstered furniture and cushions
- Theater sets, costumes and event decor
- Quilts and wall hangings for schools, offices and other public venues
- Pet beds and padded crafts
What to Look For
Check the product description for any listed fire rating, such as NFPA 701 or CAL TB 117, if your venue or project requires one. Consider loft and thickness for the look you want, and note whether the flame resistance is inherent or a topical treatment, since washing can affect some treated finishes.
