We all want cushions that look great and feel comfortable but replacing your cushions can seem like a confusing task.

One question we receive often, is regarding overlays and fibre wrap on cushions. While these additions are optional, they are worth consdiering as they can provide extra comfort or a better appearance to your foam cushions.

We want you to understand the purpose and benefits of fibre wrap and foam overlay, so you can decide whether they are right for your foam cushions.

A 'fibre wrap’ or ‘foam overlay’ are optional additions to your foam cushions. Whilst they are optional, many people opt to include them to provide additional comfort or improve the aesthetics of their cushions.

You can view the different wrap/overlay options available for your cushions via our online foam calculator under 'optional extras'.

With the help of our interactive foam price calculator, we make the process simple. We help you build your cushions step-by-step, with advice and reccomendations along the way, including optional extras like the addition of fibre wrap and foam overlay.

Polyester Fibre Wrap (Bonded Polyester Fibre aka “Wadding” or “Dacron”)

A Bonded Polyester Fibre Wrap (also known as a "Dacron" wrap) is a fibre padding material which is glued to the foam cushion to give it a softer and rounder look.

It can enhance the appearance of your finished cushions, by creating a more rounded/plush effect and softening angular corners and edges. Having the foam cushion wrapped in fibre also makes it much easier to slide in and out of the cover.

You do not need to factor in a fibre wrap when calculating your dimensions, as the material is quite thin and easily compresses.

 

Foam Overlay

A Foam Overlay is a premium option for customers wanting a soft, luxurious addition to their cushion.

A foam overlay is usually more suited to thicker cushions or when using a very high density, firm feeling foam.

An overlay of our "Standard Density OVERLAY/BACK FOAM (Super Soft)" in 25mm thickness is added to create a softer feel, whilst still maintaining the quality of a high density foam core.

Eg. If the desired cushion thickness is 150mm: 100mm high density core cushion with 25mm memory foam overlay on top and 25mm piece on bottom.
