27" Wide 300g Polyester Wadding for Heavy Cushion Wrapping

This 27" wide 300g (10 1/2oz) polyester wadding fibre cushion wrap provides a generous layer of soft upholstery padding around foam cushions.

With approximately 30mm loft, this heavier Dacron cushion wrap is made for applications where more softness, build-up and rounded shape are required than lighter 4 1/2oz or 8oz polyester wadding.

It is particularly suited to deeper sofa cushions, armchair cushions, bench seating and other upholstery projects where a noticeably fuller padded finish is required.

What Is 10 1/2oz Polyester Wadding Used For?

300g (10 1/2oz) polyester wadding is a heavier grade of fibre cushion wrap used around upholstery foam to add softness and loft.

The foam remains the supportive core of the cushion, while the polyester fibre wrap creates the softer layer between the foam and fabric cover.

It is particularly useful for:

• Deep sofa seat cushions
• Armchair cushions
• Large seat pads
• Window seat cushions
• Bench seating
• Footstools and ottomans
• Caravan and motorhome cushions
• Campervan seating
• Boat and marine cushions
• Upholstered furniture panels
• Furniture restoration and cushion refurbishment

Extra Loft and Padding

At approximately 30mm loft, this 10 1/2oz polyester wadding provides considerably more build-up around the foam than lighter cushion wraps.

It is a good choice when the finished cushion needs a soft, well-padded and generously rounded appearance.

Softens the Shape of Upholstery Foam

Freshly cut foam naturally has defined corners and edges.

A thick layer of polyester wadding softens those edges beneath the upholstery cover, creating a more rounded cushion profile and reducing the hard, square appearance of bare foam.

Helps Fill the Cushion Cover

The additional loft can help create a fuller-looking cushion and improve the way the finished interior fills a suitable upholstery cover.

The foam should still be correctly sized for the cover. Wadding is used to improve the finish and softness rather than compensate for substantially undersized foam.

Glue Dacron Wadding Securely to the Foam

When wrapping a foam cushion, the polyester wadding should be held securely in position using Status Fabrics Heavy Duty Spray Adhesive.

Bonding the Dacron to the foam is important because loose wadding can move as the cushion is pushed into its cover. This can cause the fibre to fold, bunch or move away from an edge, resulting in uneven padding or visible lumps beneath the finished fabric.

A secure bond helps:

• Keep the wadding evenly positioned around the foam
• Prevent movement during cover fitting
• Reduce folding and bunching
• Maintain consistent padding around corners and edges
• Produce a smoother finished cushion shape

Apply a light, even coating of suitable spray adhesive to the foam in accordance with the adhesive instructions and position the polyester wrap carefully.

Avoid soaking the wadding with adhesive. Excess adhesive can compress the fibre and create harder areas, reducing the soft loft that the Dacron is intended to provide.

Is 10 1/2oz Polyester Wadding the Right Weight?

300g (10 1/2oz) polyester wadding sits towards the heavier end of the Status Fabrics cushion-wrapping range.

As a general guide:

• 2 1/2oz provides a light softening layer
• 4 1/2oz is a useful general-purpose cushion wrap
• 8oz provides additional loft and a fuller finish
• 10 1/2oz provides heavier wrapping and generous padding
• 14oz provides the thickest and fullest option in the range

If you are unsure which weight is most suitable, compare the complete Polyester Wadding range before ordering.

Using Polyester Wadding with Foam and Stockinette

For replacement cushions, polyester fibre wrap is normally used as part of a complete cushion construction.

Start with the correctly selected Foam Cut to Size to provide the support and main cushion shape.

Bond the polyester wadding around the foam using Status Fabrics Heavy Duty Spray Adhesive.

Once wrapped, Stockinette can be fitted over the cushion interior. Stockinette helps hold the finished assembly together and reduces friction when sliding the cushion into its fabric cover.

A typical construction is:

Foam core spray adhesive polyester wadding stockinette cushion cover

This gives the cushion the support of upholstery foam together with the softer, rounded finish of polyester fibre wrap.

Polyester Wadding for Professional and DIY Upholstery

300g fibre cushion wrap is suitable for professional upholsterers, furniture manufacturers, repair workshops and customers carrying out their own cushion refurbishment.

Its heavier 10 1/2oz construction makes it particularly useful where a generous upholstery finish is required without moving to the maximum loft of the 14oz range.
