This 300g compressed spring insulator (also known as compressed Dacron wadding) is a versatile, economical alternative to full foam sheets. Measuring 40″ wide and supplied in 30 m rolls, it’s ideal for cushioning and protecting the base spring surfaces in upholstery applications.
Made from high-quality compressed Dacron wadding.
Frequently used to insulate Zig-Zag Springs and prevent premature wear of platform lining cloths.
Lightweight yet effective cushioning layer between springs and upholstery support layers.
Easier to handle and cut compared to thick foam sheets—less waste, more flexibility.
Long roll length (30 m) and broad width (40″) makes it suitable for large furniture jobs.
Lay directly over spring or frame area before adding platform cloth or seating layers.
Ensure it is held taut and smooth to avoid wrinkles under the surface.
It works best when evenly trimmed and tucked at edges to prevent shifting.
Combine with other layers like platform cloth for robust structure and comfort.

Is this insulator flame-retardant?Check local building or upholstery regulations – this product is a mechanical insulator and may not meet all fire classifications by itself.
Can it replace foam for cushioning?Not fully. It’s designed as a separation and protection layer—not a primary cushioning material.
Will it compress too much over time?It’s “compressed” to begin with, but retains some loft. It performs best as part of a layered upholstery system, not as a single cushioning element.
