27" Wide 225g Polyester Wadding for Fuller Cushion Wrapping

This 27" wide 225g (8oz) polyester wadding fibre cushion wrap provides a thicker, fuller padding layer around upholstery foam.

With approximately 20mm loft, it is made for cushions and upholstery projects where more softness and build-up are required than a standard general-purpose fibre wrap.

Commonly referred to as Dacron cushion wrap, polyester fibre wrap or foam wrap, it is used between the foam core and upholstery cover to soften firm foam edges, improve the finished cushion shape and create a fuller appearance beneath the fabric.

What Is 8oz Polyester Wadding Used For?

225g (8oz) polyester wadding is a heavier cushion wrapping material designed to add more loft around foam than lighter fibre wraps.

The foam remains responsible for the main support and structure of the cushion. The polyester wadding sits around the foam to create a softer transition between the foam and the outer cover.

It is particularly useful where a cushion needs a more rounded, generously padded appearance.

Typical uses include:

• Sofa seat cushions
• Armchair cushions
• Deep seat pads
• Window seat cushions
• Bench seating
• Footstools and ottomans
• Caravan and campervan seating
• Boat and marine cushions
• Upholstered furniture panels
• Furniture repairs and refurbishment

More Loft Around the Foam

At approximately 20mm loft, this 8oz fibre cushion wrap provides noticeably more build-up than lighter polyester wadding.

This makes it useful where the finished cushion needs a fuller and softer appearance.

Softens Firm Foam Edges

Freshly cut upholstery foam can have quite defined edges. Wrapping the foam in polyester fibre helps soften those edges beneath the cover and produces a less angular finished cushion.

Creates a Fuller Cushion Appearance

The additional fibre layer helps fill the cushion cover and creates a more rounded upholstered finish.

This can be particularly useful with deeper seat cushions, larger chair pads and upholstery where a generous padded look is required.

Suitable for New and Replacement Cushions

The 225g wadding can be used when making new cushion interiors or replacing worn padding around an existing foam core.

If the foam itself also needs replacing, order the required shape and grade through Foam Cut to Size before adding the fibre wrap.

Is 8oz Polyester Wadding the Right Weight?

Choose 225g (8oz) polyester wadding when you need more padding and loft than a general-purpose cushion wrap but do not require the maximum build-up offered by the heaviest wadding grades.

As a simple guide:

• Lighter wadding is suited to subtle padding and edge softening
• 4 1/2oz wadding is a useful general-purpose cushion wrap
• 8oz wadding provides a fuller finish and additional loft
• 10 1/2oz and 14oz options provide progressively heavier padding

You can compare all available weights and widths in the Polyester Wadding range.

Using Polyester Wadding with Stockinette

After the foam has been wrapped in polyester wadding, Stockinette can be fitted over the finished cushion interior.

Stockinette helps keep the fibre wrap in position and makes the cushion easier to slide into a fitted cover.

A typical cushion construction is:

Foam core polyester wadding stockinette cushion cover

This combines the structural support of foam with the softer finish provided by polyester fibre wrap.

Polyester Wadding for Upholstery and Furniture Repairs

225g polyester wadding is suitable for both professional upholstery work and domestic furniture repairs.

It can be used by upholsterers, furniture manufacturers, repairers, caravan converters, campervan builders, marine upholsterers and customers replacing their own cushion interiors.

225g (8oz) polyester wadding fibre cushion wrap for adding extra loft, softness and a fuller finish around upholstery foam cushions.

• 27" wide
• 20 metre roll
• 225g (8oz) polyester fibre wrap
• Approx. 20mm loft
• Fuller and thicker than general-purpose 4 1/2oz wadding
• Use it for sofa cushions, seat pads, chair cushions and upholstery projects requiring additional padding

For the best finish, bond the Dacron wadding securely to the foam using Status Fabrics Heavy Duty Spray Adhesive. This helps keep the heavier fibre wrap evenly positioned, prevents it from shifting, folding or bunching when the cushion cover is fitted, and helps maintain a smooth, consistent layer of padding around the foam.
