What Is 14oz Polyester Wadding Used For?

475g polyester wadding is a very heavy upholstery fibre wrap used when softness and loft are required around a foam cushion.

The foam provides the main support and structure, while the polyester fibre creates a thick, soft outer layer beneath the fabric cover.

This helps soften firm foam edges and creates a noticeably fuller, more rounded cushion profile.

Typical applications include:

• Deep sofa seat cushions
• 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
• Upholstery projects requiring maximum padding

Maximum 45mm Loft

With approximately 45mm loft, 14oz polyester wadding provides significantly more build-up than lighter 2 1/2oz, 4 1/2oz, 8oz and 10 1/2oz grades.

It is the right choice when the finished cushion needs a pronounced, deeply padded appearance.

Creates a Full, Rounded Cushion Shape

The thick polyester fibre softens the straight edges and corners of cut upholstery foam and helps create a more rounded cushion profile.

This can be particularly useful on deep seating and larger cushions where a generous upholstered 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 wadding adds the softer outer layer, allowing a supportive foam core to retain its structure while producing a softer, fuller finish beneath the upholstery fabric.

Bond 14oz Dacron Securely to the Foam

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

This is especially important with 14oz Dacron because the increased thickness means there is substantially more fibre to control while the cushion is being wrapped and fitted into its cover.

If the wadding is left loose, it can shift, fold or bunch as the cushion is pushed into the fabric cover. This can create uneven padding, visible lumps or areas where the fibre has moved away from the foam.

Bonding the polyester wadding securely helps:

• Keep the thick 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

Apply only enough adhesive to hold the wadding securely in place. Saturating polyester fibre can flatten the loft and create harder patches, which defeats the purpose of using a soft cushion wrap. Status Fabrics' adhesive guidance specifically recommends keeping the wadding smooth, evenly tensioned and free from folds.

Is 14oz Polyester Wadding the Right Weight?

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

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

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

If you are working with an existing close-fitting cushion cover, a lighter grade may be more suitable.

Using 14oz Polyester Wadding with Foam and Stockinette

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

Bond the 14oz Dacron 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 fitting 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 adds softness and loft, and the stockinette helps with handling and cover fitting.

Extra-Thick Polyester Wadding for Upholstery

36" wide 475g polyester wadding is suitable for professional upholsterers, furniture manufacturers, repair workshops and customers carrying out their own cushion refurbishment.

Its combination of a practical 36" width and maximum-loft 14oz construction makes it particularly useful for deep seating and larger upholstery projects where a very full, soft finish is required.
