Felt for Traditional Upholstery Padding

Soft layered upholstery felt 750 gram is a practical upholstery padding material used in traditional furniture repair, restoration and upholstery build-ups. Supplied 27” wide on a 12mtr roll, this soft layered felt is ideal for upholsterers, furniture restorers and trade workshops that need a reliable padding layer for arms, backs and seats.

This upholstery felt is made from recycled materials and is commonly used over hair as a padding layer. It helps smooth the surface, add comfort and create a more even finish before the final fabric or top upholstery layers are applied.

What Is Layered Upholstery Felt?

Layered upholstery felt is an upholstery felt made from layers of fibre that are formed into a softer padding material. Unlike firm needled felt, which is mainly used where strength and structure are required, soft layered felt is better suited to comfort, shaping and smoothing.

This makes it useful higher up in the upholstery build, especially over hair and other traditional fillings. It helps cover coarse materials, improve the feel beneath the fabric and create a cleaner, more comfortable finish.

Common Uses for Soft Layered Upholstery Felt

Layered felt is one of those proper upholstery materials that quietly does an important job. It is not the headline act, but get this layer wrong and the finished piece will soon tell you about it.

Common uses include:

Upholstery padding over hair

Padding arms, backs and seats

Traditional upholstery restoration

Furniture repair and refurbishment

Softening and smoothing upholstery build-ups

Final padding layers beneath fabric

Layering over firmer or coarser fillings

Chair, sofa and settee upholstery work

Antique furniture restoration

Trade workshop upholstery repairs

Soft Layered Felt for Use Over Hair

One of the main uses for this 750 gram soft layered felt is as a padding layer over hair. In traditional upholstery, hair provides body, resilience and shape, but it needs to be properly covered with a suitable felt layer before the final upholstery materials are added.

This soft layered felt helps create a smoother barrier over hair, reducing the chance of coarse fibres affecting the finish. It also adds a softer, more comfortable feel to arms, backs and seats, helping the finished upholstery look and feel right.

750 Gram Upholstery Felt for Arms, Backs and Seats

At 750 gram, this soft layered upholstery felt gives a useful balance of comfort, body and workability. It is substantial enough for traditional upholstery padding, while still being soft enough to shape and handle easily.

The 27” width makes it practical for a wide range of furniture work, including chair arms, sofa arms, backs, seats and repair sections. Supplied on a 12mtr roll, it is a convenient workshop stock item for regular upholstery use.

Made from Recycled Materials

This layered felt is manufactured from recycled materials, making it a sensible choice for upholstery work where value, practicality and material efficiency matter.

For trade users, it provides a cost-effective padding layer that can be used across furniture repairs, restoration work, traditional upholstery and general workshop jobs.

Why Choose Layered Felt?

Choose soft layered felt when the job needs padding, smoothing and comfort rather than firm structural support. It is especially useful over hair and traditional fillings, where it helps prepare the surface for the finishing layers above.

Firm needled felts are better suited to spring protection and harder support areas. Soft layered felt is better suited to arms, backs and seats where a smoother, softer padding layer is needed.

Trade and Workshop Use

Supplied 27” wide on a 12mtr roll and available individually or in 3-roll quantities, this soft layered felt is suitable for professional upholsterers, furniture restorers and trade workshops.

It is a useful stock material for traditional upholstery, furniture repair, arm padding, seat padding, back padding and finishing layers over hair or other coarser upholstery fillings.
