36" Wide 135g Polyester Wadding for General Cushion Wrapping

This 36" wide 135g (4 1/2oz) polyester wadding fibre cushion wrap is a general-purpose upholstery wadding for wrapping foam cushions and adding a softer, smoother finishing layer beneath fabric covers.

With approximately 15mm loft, the 4 1/2oz polyester fibre provides useful softness and shape without the additional bulk of heavier 8oz, 10 1/2oz or 14oz cushion wrap.

Often referred to as Dacron cushion wrap, polyester cushion wrap or foam wrap, this weight is well suited to everyday sofa cushions, chair cushions, bench pads, window seats and general furniture upholstery.

What Is 4 1/2oz Polyester Wadding Used For?

135g polyester wadding is a useful all-round cushion wrapping material for adding softness around an upholstery foam core.

The foam provides the main support and shape, while the polyester fibre wrap creates a softer outer layer between the foam and fabric cover.

This helps soften the square edges of cut foam and creates a smoother, fuller cushion profile.

Typical applications include sofa cushions, armchair cushions, chair pads, bench seating, window seats, footstools, caravan cushions, campervan seating, boat cushions and general furniture repairs.

A Practical General-Purpose Weight

4 1/2oz polyester wadding sits between lightweight 2 1/2oz wrap and the heavier 8oz, 10 1/2oz and 14oz options.

It provides enough loft to noticeably soften and round the foam while remaining suitable for a wide range of everyday upholstery work.

Softens Foam Edges

Bare upholstery foam can produce quite defined edges beneath a cushion cover.

Wrapping the foam with polyester fibre helps soften those edges and creates a smoother transition between the supportive foam core and the outer fabric.

Creates a Fuller Cushion Finish

The approximately 15mm loft adds a soft outer layer around the foam and helps create a fuller, more upholstered appearance.

The foam should still be correctly sized for the cushion cover. Polyester wadding is intended to improve the finish rather than compensate for foam that is substantially too small.

Bond Dacron Wadding Securely to the Foam

For a clean and consistent finish, polyester wadding should be securely bonded to the foam using Status Fabrics Heavy Duty Spray Adhesive.

If Dacron is left loose, the fibre can move as the cushion is pushed into its cover. This can cause the wadding to fold, bunch or move away from an edge, creating uneven padding beneath the finished upholstery.

Bonding the fibre wrap to the foam helps keep the wadding correctly positioned, maintains an even layer around the cushion and makes the wrapped interior easier to handle while fitting the cover.

Apply the adhesive in accordance with the product instructions and position the polyester wadding carefully over the foam.

The aim is to securely hold the fibre in place while retaining its soft loft.

Is 4 1/2oz Polyester Wadding the Right Weight?

4 1/2oz is a choice for general cushion wrapping and everyday upholstery padding.

As a simple guide:

2 1/2oz, light padding and subtle edge softening 4 1/2oz, general-purpose cushion wrapping 8oz, fuller finish with additional loft 10 1/2oz, heavier cushion wrapping and generous padding 14oz, maximum loft and the fullest padded finish

If you need a lighter or heavier construction, compare the full Polyester Wadding range before ordering.

Using Polyester Wadding with Foam and Stockinette

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

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

Once wrapped, Stockinette can be fitted over the cushion interior. Stockinette helps contain the wrapped assembly and reduces friction when sliding it into a close-fitting fabric cover.

A typical cushion construction is:

Foam core spray adhesive polyester wadding stockinette cushion cover

The foam provides support, the polyester fibre wrap adds softness and shape, and the stockinette helps make cover fitting easier.
