upholstery grade dacron
If your cushions look flat, boxy, or lumpy, upholstery grade dacron is often the missing layer. This soft polyester batting wraps around foam to round out edges, fill the cover evenly, and give sofas, chairs, and seat cushions that full, professionally finished look.
Why Wrap Foam in Dacron
Bare foam can grip fabric, wear unevenly, and leave sharp corners visible through the cover. A layer of polyester upholstery batting adds loft, helps the fabric slide on smoothly, and reduces friction that leads to wear over time.
Common Uses
- Seat and back cushions for sofas and chairs
- Headboards, ottomans, and benches
- Outdoor and boat cushions (when paired with suitable foam)
- Padding over springs or webbing on reupholstered frames
What to Look For
Consider thickness and loft for how plush you want the finish, and whether a bonded batting suits your project, since bonding helps the fibers hold together during handling. Measure your foam's top, bottom, and sides so you can wrap it in a single piece wherever possible.
