36” wide 300g (10½oz) fibre cushion wrap 20mtr roll

36" Wide 300g Polyester Wadding for Heavy Cushion Wrapping

This 36" wide 300g (10 1/2oz) polyester wadding fibre cushion wrap provides a layer of softness and loft around upholstery foam where a fuller, more generously padded finish is required.

With approximately 30mm loft, this heavy polyester fibre wrap provides considerably more build-up than lighter 2 1/2oz, 4 1/2oz and 8oz wadding while remaining below the maximum loft of the 14oz grade.

Often referred to as 10 1/2oz Dacron, Dacron cushion wrap, polyester cushion wrap or foam wrap, it is particularly suited to sofa cushions, deep seating, bench cushions, window seats and upholstery projects requiring padding around the foam.

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

300g polyester wadding is a heavier upholstery fibre wrap used where greater softness, loft and build-up are required around a foam cushion.

The foam provides the main structural support and shape. The polyester wadding surrounds the foam to create a softer outer layer beneath the cushion cover.

This helps soften firm foam edges and creates a fuller, more rounded upholstered appearance.

Typical applications include:

• Sofa seat cushions
• Deep armchair cushions
• Bench seat cushions
• Window seats
• Large chair pads
• Footstools and ottomans
• Caravan and motorhome seating
• Campervan cushions
• Boat and marine seating
• Furniture refurbishment
• General upholstery projects requiring heavier padding

Generous 30mm Loft

With approximately 30mm loft, 10 1/2oz polyester wadding adds a soft layer around upholstery foam.

It is a useful choice when 8oz Dacron does not provide enough fullness but the maximum build-up of 14oz wadding is not required.

Creates a Fuller Cushion Shape

The thicker polyester fibre helps soften straight foam edges and corners, producing a more rounded and generously upholstered cushion profile.

This makes 10 1/2oz Dacron particularly suitable for deeper seating and cushions where a fuller appearance is part of the finished look.

Adds Surface Softness Around Supportive Foam

The foam remains responsible for the main support of the cushion.

The polyester cushion wrap adds the softer surface layer around it, allowing a supportive foam interior to retain its structure while achieving a softer finished feel beneath the upholstery fabric.

Bond Dacron Wadding Securely to the Foam

Heavy polyester wadding should be securely bonded to the foam using Status Fabrics Heavy Duty Spray Adhesive.

This is particularly important with 10 1/2oz Dacron because the greater thickness means there is more fibre to control while the wrapped cushion is being fitted into its cover.

Leaving the wadding loose can allow it to move, fold or bunch as the cushion is pushed into the upholstery cover. Uneven fibre beneath the fabric can then create lumps, thin areas or an inconsistent finished cushion shape.

Bonding the Dacron securely helps:

• Keep the polyester fibre evenly positioned
• Prevent movement during cover fitting
• Reduce folding and bunching
• Maintain consistent padding around edges and corners
• Create a smoother finished cushion profile
• Make the wrapped foam easier to handle during assembly

Apply a light, even coat of Status Fabrics Heavy Duty Spray Adhesive in accordance with the product instructions and carefully position the polyester wadding over the foam.

Avoid saturating the fibre. The purpose of the adhesive is to secure the Dacron in position while allowing the wadding to retain its soft loft.

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

10 1/2oz polyester wadding sits towards the heavier end of the Status Fabrics cushion wrapping range.

As a general guide:

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

Choose 10 1/2oz where a layer of padding is wanted but the maximum bulk of 14oz wadding is unnecessary.

If you are working with an existing close-fitting cushion cover, remember that heavier upholstery wadding adds more overall bulk around the foam.

Compare the full Polyester Wadding range to select the most appropriate weight and width.

Using 10 1/2oz Polyester Wadding with Foam and Stockinette

For replacement cushions, start with correctly selected Foam Cut to Size to provide the supportive cushion core.

Bond the 10 1/2oz Dacron securely around the foam using Status Fabrics Heavy Duty Spray Adhesive.

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

A typical cushion construction is:

Foam core spray adhesive polyester wadding stockinette cushion cover

The foam provides the support, the polyester wadding provides softness and loft, and the stockinette helps with handling and cover fitting.
