27" Wide 475g Polyester Wadding for Maximum Cushion Loft

This 27" wide 475g (14oz) polyester wadding fibre cushion wrap is the heaviest polyester wrap in the Status Fabrics range and is made for upholstery projects requiring maximum loft, softness and a generously padded finish.

With approximately 45mm loft, this thick Dacron cushion wrap creates considerably more build-up around upholstery foam than lighter 4 1/2oz, 8oz or 10 1/2oz wadding.

It is particularly suited to deep sofa cushions, armchair cushions, bench seating and other upholstery projects where a soft, rounded and finished appearance is required.

What Is 14oz Polyester Wadding Used For?

475g (14oz) polyester wadding is a very thick upholstery fibre wrap used around foam where softness and loft are required.

The foam provides the main support and structure of the cushion. The polyester wadding creates the softer outer layer between the foam and upholstery fabric, helping produce a fuller and more rounded cushion profile.

Typical applications include:

• 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

Maximum Loft and Softness

At approximately 45mm loft, 14oz polyester wadding provides the greatest build-up in the Status Fabrics polyester cushion wrap range.

It is useful where a cushion needs a pronounced padded appearance rather than just a light softening layer.

Creates a Fuller Cushion Profile

The thick fibre layer helps soften the straight edges and corners of cut upholstery foam, creating a more rounded and generously upholstered appearance beneath the fabric.

Adds a Soft Outer Layer

The foam remains responsible for the support of the cushion, while the polyester wrap adds softness around the outside.

This combination allows supportive upholstery foam to retain its structure while giving the finished cushion a softer surface feel and appearance.

Glue Dacron Wadding Securely to the Foam

When wrapping foam with thick 14oz polyester wadding, the fibre should be securely bonded to the foam using Status Fabrics Heavy Duty Spray Adhesive.

This is particularly important with heavier Dacron because there is more fibre to control while the wrapped cushion is being fitted into its cover.

Bonding the wadding to the foam helps:

• Keep the polyester wrap evenly positioned
• Prevent the fibre moving as the cover is fitted
• Reduce folding and bunching around the cushion
• Keep padding consistent across the faces and edges
• Maintain a smoother finished cushion shape
• Make the wrapped cushion easier to handle during assembly

Apply the spray adhesive in accordance with the product instructions and position the wadding carefully before fitting the cushion into its cover.

Is 14oz Polyester Wadding the Right Weight?

14oz polyester wadding is intended for projects where loft and padding are required.

As a general guide:

• 2 1/2oz provides a light softening layer
• 4 1/2oz is suitable for general-purpose cushion wrapping
• 8oz provides additional loft and a fuller finish
• 10 1/2oz provides heavier wrapping and generous padding
• 14oz provides maximum loft and the fullest finish

Because 14oz wadding is approximately 45mm thick before compression, it can add significant bulk around a foam cushion.

If you are refilling an existing cushion cover that is already a close fit, a lighter weight may be more suitable. Polyester wadding should improve the finish of correctly sized foam rather than be used to compensate for foam that is substantially too small for the cover.

Compare all available weights in the Polyester Wadding range.

Using 14oz Wadding with Foam and Stockinette

For a replacement cushion, start with correctly selected Foam Cut to Size to provide the main support and shape.

Bond the polyester wadding to the foam using Status Fabrics Heavy Duty Spray Adhesive so the fibre remains securely positioned.

Once wrapped, Stockinette can be fitted over the cushion interior. Stockinette helps contain the wrapped assembly and reduces friction when fitting the cushion into its fabric cover.

A typical cushion construction is:

Foam core spray adhesive polyester wadding stockinette cushion cover

Each layer performs a different job: the foam provides support, the Dacron adds softness and loft, and the stockinette helps the finished cushion slide into its cover.
