foam wrapping batting

If your cushions look boxy or your fabric wears thin at the corners, foam wrapping batting is the simple fix professionals rely on. This soft layer goes between your foam and your upholstery fabric, rounding out sharp edges and giving seats, benches, and headboards a full, finished look.

Why Wrap Foam Before Upholstering

Bare foam can grip fabric, making covers hard to slide on and causing friction that wears fabric over time. A layer of upholstery batting creates a smooth surface that helps covers fit cleanly and fill out loose spots.

• Softer edges: Rounds corners for a plush, crowned shape.
• Easier fitting: Helps covers slide on without snagging.
• Fabric protection: Reduces rubbing between foam and fabric.

What to Look For

Loft and Thickness

Thinner wraps keep a tailored profile, while loftier options add a cushier, rounded appearance. Match the loft to the style you want.

Material and Construction

Bonded polyester batting, often called dacron wrap, is a popular choice because it holds together well and is easy to cut and spray-glue in place. Consider how it will be used, indoors or out, when choosing.
