What is Polyester Wadding?
Polyester wadding, also known as Dacron®, Kodel, Fiberfill, Poly-Fil®, Hollofil®, or Poly Wrap, is a soft, insulating fabric used to add loft, warmth, and structure to various projects. Unlike cotton wadding, it does not shrink and maintains its shape even after repeated washing.
Common Uses:
- Quilting & Patchwork – Adds softness and warmth to handmade quilts.
- Upholstery & Furniture Padding – Ideal for cushioning chairs, sofas, and headboards.
- Bedding & Home Décor – Great for duvets, mattress toppers, padded wall panels, and curtains.
- Toys & Craft Projects – Perfect for stuffing teddy bears, dolls, and handmade plushies.
- Dressmaking & Costumes – Provides structure for garments and cosplay designs.
- Soundproofing & Insulation – Used in acoustic panels and protective covers.
This versatile fabric is perfect for both professional upholsterers and home crafters, providing a safe, flame-retardant, and long-lasting padding solution. Available in multiple weights to suit different needs, polyester wadding is an essential material for soft furnishing and craft projects.
Please note that if more than one piece of wadding is ordered it will come as one continuous piece as it is cut from the roll, however the rolls do have a maximum length therefore larger orders may be sent in multiple pieces.
