54" Wide 300g Polyester Wadding for Heavy Cushion Wrapping

This 54" wide 300g (10 1/2oz) polyester wadding fibre cushion wrap provides softness, loft and build-up around larger upholstery foam cushions and broad furniture projects.

With approximately 30mm loft, this heavy polyester fibre wrap adds considerably more padding than lighter 2 1/2oz, 4 1/2oz and 8oz wadding, while remaining less bulky than the maximum-loft 14oz option.

Often referred to as 10 1/2oz Dacron, heavy Dacron cushion wrap, polyester cushion wrap or foam wrap, the generous 54" width makes it particularly useful for large sofa cushions, deep seating, bench cushions, window seats, headboards and wide upholstery panels.

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

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

The foam provides the main support and shape of the cushion. The polyester fibre wrap surrounds the foam and creates the softer outer layer beneath the upholstery fabric.

This helps soften the defined edges and corners of cut foam and creates a fuller, more rounded cushion profile.

Typical applications include:

• Large sofa seat cushions
• Deep armchair cushions
• Bench seating
• Window seat cushions
• Headboards
• Large footstools and ottomans
• Upholstered furniture panels
• Caravan and motorhome cushions
• Campervan seating
• Boat and marine cushions
• Furniture refurbishment
• Wide upholstery projects requiring heavier padding

Generous 30mm Loft

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

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

Creates a Fuller Cushion Profile

The thicker polyester fibre softens the straight edges and corners of the foam and helps create a more rounded, generously upholstered appearance.

This makes 10 1/2oz Dacron particularly suitable for deeper seating and larger cushions where a fuller finish is required.

Adds Softness Around Supportive Foam

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

The polyester wadding provides the softer surface layer around it, combining supportive upholstery foam with a smoother and more comfortably padded finish beneath the fabric.

Bond 10 1/2oz Dacron 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 when working with 54" wide 10 1/2oz Dacron because the combination of a wider roll and heavier fibre creates more material to control during wrapping and cover fitting.

If the 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 pull away from the edges of the foam, creating uneven areas beneath the finished upholstery.

Bonding the polyester wadding securely helps:

• Keep the fibre evenly positioned across the foam
• Prevent movement during cover fitting
• Reduce folding and bunching
• Maintain consistent padding across wide surfaces
• Keep corners and edges evenly wrapped
• Produce a smoother finished cushion profile
• Make large wrapped cushions 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 around the foam.

The adhesive should hold the Dacron securely without unnecessarily compressing the fibre so that its soft loft is retained.

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 when you want padding and a visibly fuller cushion without moving to the maximum bulk of 14oz wadding.

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

Compare all available weights and widths within the Polyester Wadding range before ordering.

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 cushion has been wrapped, Stockinette can be fitted over the interior. Stockinette helps contain the fibre wrap and reduces friction when the cushion is fitted into its fabric cover.

A typical cushion construction is:

Foam core spray adhesive polyester wadding stockinette cushion cover

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