pillow batting

The right pillow batting is what turns a stitched cover into a pillow you actually want to lean on. Whether you're refreshing throw pillows, sewing a floor cushion or wrapping a foam seat, your choice of filling shapes how plump, soft and long-lasting the finished piece feels.

Types of Pillow Batting

Loose Polyester Fiberfill

Loose polyester fiberfill is the go-to pillow stuffing for custom shapes, toys and decorative pillows. You can pack it firmly or keep it airy, and adjust the fullness as you go.

Bonded Batting and Cushion Wrap

Bonded batting comes in sheets that hold together without shifting. It's ideal for wrapping foam inserts, smoothing out sharp edges and giving cushions a rounded, upholstered look.

What to Look For

• Loft: Higher loft means a fuller, puffier result.
• Resilience: Fill that springs back resists flattening with daily use.
• Care: Check whether the filling can be washed if your cover won't be removable.
• Project fit: Choose loose fill for shaping and sheet batting for clean, even surfaces.
