poly batting by the yard
When a project calls for more than a pre-cut package, poly batting by the yard lets you buy exactly the length you need. Polyester batting is lightweight, washable and resistant to mildew. It is a dependable choice for quilts, pillows, padded headboards and plush crafts.
Why Choose Polyester Batting
Polyester holds its shape and keeps its puff through repeated use and washing. That makes it a favorite for everyday quilts and home decor. It is also a budget-friendly way to add warmth and softness without much weight.
Understanding Loft
Loft is the thickness of the batting, and it shapes how your finished piece looks and feels:
- Low loft batting gives a flat, traditional look that is easy to quilt by hand or machine.
- High loft batting creates puffy comforters, tied quilts and soft cushions.
Bonded vs. Needled
Bonded polyester batting is treated so the fibers stay together, which reduces shifting and fiber migration. Needled batting is denser and works well for upholstery batting, padded furniture and structured crafts.
