pillow insert wrapped in dacron

A pillow insert wrapped in Dacron gives cushions and throw pillows the crisp, rounded look you see in professionally upholstered furniture. A layer of polyester batting softens hard foam edges, fills out the corners of your cover, and adds a gentle loft that makes every seat cushion or accent pillow look and feel more inviting.

Benefits of a Dacron-Wrapped Pillow Form

• Fuller fit: The batting wrap fills the cover so your fabric lies smooth, without wrinkles or limp corners.
• Softer feel: A cushioned layer sits between the core and your fabric for added comfort.
• Less wear: Dacron batting helps reduce rubbing between foam and fabric over time.

What to Look For

Size and Fit

Measure your finished cover first. Many sewists choose an insert slightly larger than the cover for a plump, well-filled look.

Core Type

A Dacron-wrapped foam insert holds its shape well for seat cushions and bench pads, while a fiber-filled throw pillow insert suits decorative pillows on sofas and beds.

Indoor or Outdoor Use

For patio furniture, check whether the foam cushion insert is meant for outdoor use and pair it with a weather-resistant fabric.
