A bonded layer

Wadding is a nonwoven material for cushioning, padding and body. Fibres are opened, blended, carded, layered and thermally bonded into a lofty web.

Thermo-Solutions manufactures heatbonded polyester wadding, with virgin or recycled fibre depending on the specification. Wadding, batting and Dacron refer to the same type of padding material, with thickness and intended use guiding the choice.

Manufacturing applications

Furniture uses include upholstery, headboards and armrests. Bedding applications include mattress panels, toppers, quilts and comforters. Suitable clothing and textile products also use wadding.

Selected filtration or industrial uses require an appropriate specification; general padding information does not establish filtration performance.

Order the grade and format

GSM means grams per square metre. Wadding is sold per linear metre, so include roll width. Choose for the padding and body your product requires, and send application, GSM, width and length for an enquiry.
