Foams & Fillings for Upholstery, Cushions and Furniture

Find the right foams and fillings for upholstery, cushion making, furniture repair, soft furnishings and professional workroom use. The Livedale Foams & Fillings range brings together upholstery foam, fibre, feather, loose fillings, felts, wadding and stockinette in one practical hub, making it easier to choose the right material for the job.

Whether you are replacing tired sofa cushions, building new upholstery from scratch, adding comfort to a chair, wrapping foam for a softer finish, or restocking your workroom, this section helps you move quickly to the right product category without digging through unrelated sundries.

Shop Foam, Fibre, Feather, Felts, Wadding and Stockinette

Use this hub as your starting point for the main foam and filling categories. Choose Foam for cut-to-size foam, foam sheets, foam cushions, memory foam, scrim foam and peeled foam rolls. Choose Fibre & Feather Cushions for ready-made cushion interiors and soft furnishing pads. Choose Fillings for loose upholstery materials, natural fillings, coir, hair and cushion stuffing. Choose Felts & Wadding for fibre wraps, platform padding, needled felt and upholstery layers. Choose Stockinette when you need a protective sleeve to help foam cushions slide smoothly into covers.

Good upholstery is not just about the top fabric. The comfort, support, shape and lifespan of the finished job usually come from what is underneath. Foam gives structure, feather gives softness, fibre gives loft, wadding gives a smooth padded finish, and stockinette helps keep the cushion practical during fitting and use. Not glamorous, maybe, but neither is the engine in a car — and you still want it to work properly.

Foam for Upholstery, Cushions and Seating

For new and replacement cushions, start with the Foam category. This section includes foam cut to size, standard foam cushions, foam sheets, peeled foam rolls, memory foam, scrim foam and specialist foam options.

Foam is the main choice for seating that needs shape, support and consistency. It is widely used for sofas, chairs, benches, stools, headboards, caravan cushions, campervan seating, boats, upholstery repairs, commercial seating and general furniture making.

Foam Cut to Size

Choose Foam Cut to Size when you need foam made to a specific size or shape rather than buying a standard sheet or cushion. This is the best route for bespoke seat pads, chair cushions, window seats, bench seating, caravan cushions, campervan cushions, boat seating and general upholstery replacement work.

Foam Cushions

Choose Foam Cushions for standard upholstery cushion sizes and common seating replacements. These are suitable for trade users, furniture repair, loose cushion replacement and general cushion work where a standard size and thickness will do the job.

Foam Sheets

Choose Foam Sheets for upholstery, padding, seating, craft, packaging, furniture repairs and general foam conversion. Foam sheets are useful when you want to cut, shape or layer foam yourself.

Foam Rolls and Peeled Foam

Choose Foam Rolls / Peeled Foam for thinner foam supplied on a roll. Peeled foam is commonly used for upholstery padding, wrapping, lining, laminating, headboards, panels, automotive trimming and general workroom use.

Memory Foam

Choose Memory Foam for pressure-relieving comfort layers, toppers, cushion overlays and softer comfort applications. Memory foam is usually used as a comfort layer rather than as the only support layer for everyday seating.

Scrim Foam

Choose Scrim Foam for upholstery panels, headboards, automotive trimming, sewing projects, stitched panels and padded upholstery work where foam needs a fabric backing for stability.

Natural & TCPP-Free Foam Range

Choose the Natural & TCPP-Free Foam Range when you need foam options outside the standard upholstery foam range. This category is useful for customers looking for specific foam compositions or alternatives for selected applications.

Fibre & Feather Cushions

The Fibre & Feather Cushions category is for softer cushion interiors, scatter cushions, bolsters, fibre backs and feather-filled options. These products are ideal for soft furnishings, back cushions, decorative cushions and upholstery where comfort, shape and a softer finish matter.

Fibre cushions are a practical choice where customers want a soft, full look without the regular maintenance of feather. Feather cushions give a more traditional, luxurious feel, but they do need plumping and dressing to keep their shape. That is not a fault; that is just feather being feather.

Bolster & Scatter Cushions

Choose Bolster & Scatter Cushions for decorative cushions, soft furnishing work, bolster pads and general cushion interiors.

Fibre Back Cushions

Choose Fibre Back Cushions for sofa backs, chair backs and soft support cushions where a full, plump appearance is needed.

Fillings for Upholstery and Cushion Making

The Fillings category includes loose and natural fillings for upholstery, cushions and traditional furniture work. This section is useful when you need materials for stuffing, padding, restoration, repair or traditional upholstery layers.

Loose fillings can be used for cushion refilling, soft furnishings, upholstery repairs and topping up existing cushions. Natural fillings such as hair and coir are more traditional materials, often used in restoration, seat building and classic upholstery work where the construction needs to stay closer to the original method.

Loose Filling

Choose Loose Filling for cushion stuffing, fibre filling, loose upholstery filling and general refill work.

Hair & Coir

Choose Hair & Coir for traditional upholstery work, restoration projects and natural filling layers.

Felts & Wadding

Felts & Wadding are used to build comfort layers, soften edges, wrap cushions and create a smoother finish beneath fabric. This category includes fibre cushion wrap, platform padding, needled felt, cotton felt and other upholstery layers.

Wadding is commonly used over foam to soften the edges and give cushions a fuller, more professional finish. Felt and platform padding are used in upholstery build-ups, spring insulation, seat platforms, arms, backs and traditional furniture repair.

Polyester Wadding

Choose Polyester Wadding for cushion wrap, foam wrapping, padding layers and soft finishing work.

Felts

Choose Felts for upholstery padding, platform work, insulation layers, furniture repairs and traditional upholstery applications.

Stockinette for Foam Cushions

Stockinette is a simple but useful upholstery material. It is commonly pulled over foam cushions before they are fitted into cushion covers. This helps the foam slide into place more easily, reduces friction against the cover and gives a cleaner, more manageable finish.

Choose Stockinette when replacing sofa cushions, chair cushions, bench pads, caravan cushions, campervan cushions or any foam pad that needs to be inserted into a fitted cover.

Choosing the Right Foam or Filling

The right material depends on how the finished item will be used. Seat cushions usually need foam for support. Back cushions often work well in fibre or feather. Foam cushions can be wrapped in polyester wadding for a softer, fuller finish. Traditional upholstery may need felt, hair, coir or platform padding. Decorative cushions may only need fibre or feather interiors.

As a simple guide:

For firm support

Choose upholstery foam, foam cushions or foam cut to size.

For soft comfort

Choose fibre cushions, feather cushions or loose fibre filling.

For a smoother cushion finish

Choose polyester wadding or stockinette.

For traditional upholstery

Choose felts, hair, coir and platform padding.

For panels and trimming

Choose scrim foam, peeled foam rolls or thin foam sheets.
