AK TRADING CO. 36 in Bonded Dacron Polyester Batting, 15 yd — 6 oz Upholstery Grade Cushion Support

AK TRADING CO.'s 36-inch bonded Dacron polyester batting is an upholstery-grade filler that delivers consistent cushion support and clean edges for furniture, pillows, quilts, and craft projects.

This premium batting is manufactured in the USA from 100% polyester Dacron, weighing 6 oz per square yard and offered in continuous cuts up to 30 yards. Its 36-inch width makes it a practical choice for a wide range of projects where durable loft, easy handling, and a uniform finish matter. Because it is bonded, the fibres stay in place, reducing shifting and shedding during cutting, sewing, or upholstering.

What makes this batting suitable for furniture upholstery?

Bonded polyester Dacron is engineered to maintain shape under repeated use, giving a stable, resilient layer between fabric and frame. The 6 oz weight provides moderate loft—enough to soften edges and corners without creating excessive bulk—so it integrates well with foam and springs.

• Bonded construction prevents fibre migration and keeps seams smooth.
• 36" width fits many chair seats, cushions, and smaller upholstery panels.
• Made in USA quality control for consistent density and hand feel.
• Continuous cuts up to 30 yards reduce joins on larger projects.

How does this batting help with quilting and decorative pillows?

For quilting and pillows, the batting adds a light, even loft that enhances stitch definition and drape without overwhelming the piece. Its polyester composition resists compression and holds up well to everyday handling, keeping cushions and quilts looking finished longer.

• Light loft improves quilting stitch visibility and texture.
• Non-shifting bonded fibres make piecing and quilting easier.
• Durable polyester resists flattening in high-use areas.
• Continuous yardage eliminates seams in larger spreads or bedcovers.

How do I cut, shape, and attach this batting for craft projects?

The bonded surface cuts cleanly with shears or an electric cutter and holds edges without excessive fraying. It can be glued, basted, or stitched in place; for upholstery use pins or spray adhesives, and for quilting, baste with safety pins or a temporary adhesive spray.

• Cutting: sharp shears or rotary cutter for precise edges.
• Attachment: spray adhesive, basting, or pinning depending on project scope.
• Layering: compatible with foam or batting layers for custom loft.
• Cleaning: spot-clean or follow fabric care guidelines—batting itself is polyester.

Why choose a bonded polyester batting instead of cotton or wool?

Bonded polyester offers a consistent loft, lower weight, and better resistance to mildew and moisture compared with natural fibres. It is also typically more budget-friendly and easier to care for, making it a practical option for everyday furnishings and high-traffic items.

• Consistent density and loft across the roll for predictable results.
• Moisture-resistant and quick-drying versus natural fibres.
• Lower allergen potential and reduced fibre breakage or shrinkage.
• Cost-effective for large or repeated projects where durability matters.
