fr batting

When your project will end up in a restaurant booth, a theater set, or a busy waiting room, FR batting gives you soft, even padding along with fire safety. Flame retardant batting is made or treated to resist ignition and slow the spread of flame. That makes it a smart choice wherever fire codes or peace of mind matter.

Where to Use Flame Retardant Batting

Upholsterers and DIY sewists reach for fire retardant batting in many settings:

• Commercial upholstery such as banquettes, office chairs, and hospitality seating
• Stage and event pieces, including padded props, set furniture, and soft walls
• Cushions and headboards for rentals, dorms, and public spaces

What to Look For

Fire Rating and Documentation

If your project must meet a specific code, confirm that the batting's labeling or paperwork matches what your inspector or client requires. Requirements vary by location and use.

Loft and Fiber

Thicker, higher-loft batting adds plush comfort. Thinner layers keep a smooth, tailored profile under fabric. Consider fiber content too, since it affects feel, durability, and how the batting holds its shape over time.
