pillow insert foam and dacron
Choosing the right pillow insert foam and Dacron is the difference between a cushion that looks crisp for years and one that flattens after a season. Foam gives a pillow or seat cushion its shape and support, while a Dacron wrap softens the edges, fills out the cover, and gives that rounded, professionally upholstered look.
Why Pair Foam With Dacron?
Bare foam can feel boxy and may rub against your fabric over time. Wrapping it in Dacron, a polyester batting, adds a gentle crown, helps the cover fit snugly, and makes the cushion feel more inviting to sit or lean on.
What to Look For
- Foam firmness: Firmer foam suits seat cushions and benches; softer foam works for back pillows and throw pillows.
- Thickness: Match the foam depth to your cover's boxing or gusset.
- Dacron loft: Thicker batting creates a fuller, softer profile, while thinner wrap keeps edges sharp.
- Intended use: Indoor and outdoor cushions may call for different materials.
