siliconized dacron

Siliconized Dacron is the secret behind cushions that look plump, feel soft, and slide neatly into their covers. This polyester batting has fibers coated with silicone, giving it a smooth, slippery hand and a springy loft that bounces back after you sit down. Whether you are reupholstering a sofa or sewing new patio cushions, it is the finishing layer that makes a project look professionally made.

Why Choose Siliconized Dacron Batting?

Compared with standard polyester batting, the silicone treatment helps fibers glide past one another instead of matting. The result is a softer, more luxurious feel and better shape retention over time.

• Easier fitting: The slick surface helps foam slip into tight cushion covers.
• Rounded edges: Wrapping foam softens hard corners for a crowned, full look.
• Lasting loft: Resilient fibers resist flattening with everyday use.

Common Uses

Upholstery and Foam Wrap

Use it as a cushion wrap over seat and back foam, on headboards, or on padded benches to add comfort and smooth out lines.

Pillows and Crafts

It also works well for throw pillows, quilting projects, and padded crafts where a soft, even layer matters.

What to Look For

Consider thickness or weight, roll width, and whether the batting is bonded on one side for easier handling. Browse our siliconized Dacron and related upholstery batting options below to find the right fit for your next project.
