Upholstery Batting and where to use itFelt or cotton upholstery batting has been the mainstay for years and continues to enjoy enormous popularity as a type of padding. It is excellent as a cover over springy and resilient fiber padding , such as horsehair or cortex because it will prevent the fibers from working through the cover. It is normally sold by the pound and sold in bales. I use it to the cover over springs on the deck of the chair or couch. Can also be used for the inside back and arms.
I recommend using Dacron over the batting to smooth out any lumps. Dacron, also called cushion wrap, is ideal to place any where on the furniture that is to be covered because it will make the fabric look smooth. Dacron come in 27" and 30 widths and is around 1" thick.
