First, batting (sometimes called by the brand name Dacron) reduces the friction foam has, and thus reduces wear to fabric.

Second, because polyester batting remains springy, it is ever ready to put some light pressure against fabric. This means that even as the fabric stretches with age (and always happens) batting will push against the fabric and keep wear-worn waves from developing.

And thirdly, and most importantly, batting fills in any slackness in how you've upholstered your furniture, cushion, etc. And because this will make your upholstered piece looks better.

Adding poly-bonded Dacron to replacement cushions will make a huge difference in the look and feel.

Dacron

Dacron is a material that is used to wrap cushions for to create a sharper and fulfilled appearance. Serving as an upholstery padding, Dacron is wrapped around cushions to hide imperfections and uneven areas in the cushions surface. The result is a cushion that is wrinkle-free and has a rounded a softer look.

Polyester batting (also called Dacron) should be added to any foam surface so that it will not be exposed directly to the fabric.

In the SANDWICH METHOD

a spray adhesive, such as Camie 303 is carefully applied to the foam. After it tacks up (30-60 seconds) the glued surface of the foam is placed on a slightly larger piece of Dacron. Use a scissors to trim. If the foam is for use in a two sided cushion, repeat the process on the other side, creating a “sandwich” with foam in the middle and Dacron on either side. The advantage of this method is that it is quick and easy, but it will require the purchase a good spray adhesive. Also it should be noted that this configuration, when placed inside a cushion cover will create a more square look since Dacron will not cover the sides.

In the GLUED METHOD

Dacron is wrapped around a piece of foam leaving three sides open. These are then closed with a carefully placed line of Camie 303 spray adhesive. This method is illustrated in the very popular book, Singer Upholstery Basics.

Finally there is the STAPLED METHOD

where Dacron is wrapped around a piece of foam and then stapled together on the open ends. You can use an ordinary desk stapler, or to make it easier, you can use a scissors stapler such as the Stanley Bostitch type which use a crowned B-8 staple. Because the staple is nestled down into the plush Dacron, it is in no danger of catching finger or fabric.
