foam and batting

The right foam and batting turn a flat, lifeless project into something plush, supportive, and built to last. Whether you are reupholstering a dining chair, sewing a window seat cushion, or finishing a quilt, the filling inside matters just as much as the fabric you see.

Choosing the Right Filling for Your Project

Foam for Structure and Support

Upholstery foam gives seats, benches, and headboards their shape. Firmer, high density foam holds up to daily sitting, while softer cushion foam suits back pillows and occasional-use pieces. Consider how the item will be used and how thick it needs to be before you cut.

Batting for Softness and Loft

Batting adds a smooth, rounded finish. Wrap it over foam to soften hard edges and help fabric lie neatly, or layer it between quilt tops and backings for warmth and dimension.

• Polyester batting is lightweight, resilient, and easy to wash.
• Cotton batting breathes well and gives quilts a classic, flat drape.
• Blends balance loft with a natural feel.
