sofa cushion batting
Flat, lumpy, or tired-looking couch cushions don't always need replacing. Often the fix is fresh sofa cushion batting, the soft layer wrapped around foam that gives cushions their rounded crown, fills out the cover, and helps the fabric glide smoothly over the core.
Why Batting Matters for Sofa Cushions
Upholstery batting acts as a buffer between foam and fabric. It softens hard edges, reduces wear on your cover, and creates that full, tailored look you see on new furniture. It also makes zippered covers easier to slide back on after cleaning.
What to Look For
Material
Polyester batting is a popular foam wrap because it resists mildew and holds its loft well. Cotton and blended batting offer a denser, more traditional feel.
Loft and Thickness
Thicker batting adds plushness and fills slightly loose covers, while thinner layers keep a crisp, tailored profile.
Bonded vs. Unbonded
- Bonded batting holds together better during handling and shifts less inside the cover.
- Unbonded batting is softer but may migrate over time.
