Often referred to as 14oz Dacron, heavy polyester cushion wrap, foam wrap or upholstery wadding, it is particularly suited to large sofa cushions, deep seating, wide bench cushions, window seats, headboards and broad upholstered furniture panels.

What Is 14oz Polyester Wadding Used For?

475g polyester wadding is a very heavy fibre wrap made for upholstery projects where softness, loft and build-up are required around foam.

The foam provides the main support and structural shape of the cushion. The polyester wadding surrounds the foam and creates a thick, soft outer layer beneath the upholstery fabric.

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

Typical applications include:

• Large sofa seat cushions
• Deep armchair cushions
• Wide bench seating
• Window seat cushions
• Headboards
• Large footstools and ottomans
• Broad upholstered furniture panels
• 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 the greatest build-up in the Status Fabrics polyester wadding range.

It is intended for projects where a pronounced padded appearance and softness are required rather than a light finishing layer.

Creates a Deep, Rounded Cushion Profile

The thick polyester fibre helps soften straight foam edges and corners and creates a more generously upholstered appearance beneath the cover.

This makes 14oz Dacron particularly suitable for deeper seating and larger cushions where a fuller shape is an important 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 creates the softer outer layer, allowing supportive upholstery foam to retain its structure while giving the finished cushion a softer and more rounded appearance.

Bond 14oz 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 14oz Dacron because the combination of maximum thickness and greater width creates a amount of fibre to control while wrapping the foam and fitting the finished cushion into its cover.

If the Dacron is left loose, the fibre can shift, fold or bunch during assembly. This may create uneven areas of padding, visible lumps or sections where the wadding has pulled 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 across large surfaces
• Keep edges and corners evenly wrapped
• Produce a smoother finished cushion profile
• Make large wrapped cushions easier to handle

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

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

Is 14oz Polyester Wadding the Right Weight?

14oz polyester wadding is made for applications 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 polyester wadding has approximately 45mm loft before compression, it can add significant bulk around a foam cushion.

If you are working with an existing close-fitting cushion cover, one of the lighter weights may be more suitable.

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

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 sliding the cushion 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 provides softness and loft, and the stockinette helps with handling and cover fitting.

Extra-Thick 54" Dacron for Upholstery

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

Its combination of maximum 14oz loft and generous 54" width makes it particularly useful for large sofa cushions, wide bench seating, headboards and broad upholstery projects where padding is required.
