polyester batting for cushions
The right polyester batting for cushions turns a flat, boxy pad into a seat that looks plump and feels inviting. Whether you are reupholstering dining chairs, refreshing patio seating or sewing new throw pillows, batting softens edges, smooths out foam and helps your cover fabric fit neatly.
Why Choose Polyester Batting
Polyester holds its shape, resists mildew and tends to stay lighter than natural fibers, which makes it a practical pick for both indoor and outdoor projects. It is also easy to cut and layer, so you can build up exactly the softness you want.
What to Look For
Loft and Thickness
Low loft batting adds a smooth, tailored finish, while high loft batting gives a fuller, rounded look on seat cushions and backs.
Bonded vs. Needle-Punched
Bonded polyester batting keeps fibers from shifting or pilling, which helps when you wrap foam. Needle-punched styles feel denser and more stable.

- Foam wrap batting for chair and bench cushions
