🐾 Pet Bed Polyester Fibre Fillings

Soft Fibre Fillings for Topping Up & Refreshing Pet Beds

Most pet beds are under-filled and flatten quickly. Our high-loft hollow fibre fillings help restore volume, improve comfort and bring tired beds back to life. Ideal for bolsters, outer walls and soft interiors — easy to handle, washable and simple to top up.

Restore Loft. Restore Comfort.

Let’s call it what it is — many pet beds are filled light to keep costs down. Within weeks they sag, corners collapse and the bed loses its shape.

This category exists so you can refill properly, not just patch it up.

Our fibre fillings are suitable for:

✔ Dog & pet beds
✔ Bolster sides and outer walls
✔ Seat backs
✔ Scatter cushions
✔ Upholstery repairs

Soft where you want comfort. Generous where it needs volume.

What Is Hollow Fibre?

Hollow fibre is polyester fibre that has been carded — a process that separates and opens the fibres to create loft and air pockets.

That loft is what gives the filling its softness and bounce.

However — and this is important — fibre relies on air between the strands. If it isn’t maintained, the fibres compress and mat together. Once badly compacted, the loft reduces permanently.

It’s not a flaw. It’s just how fibre behaves.

Why Fibre Beds Flatten

Fibre flattens for three main reasons:

• Under-filling at manufacture
• No regular plumping
• Heavy, repeated compression

Once fibre becomes tightly matted, restoring full loft becomes difficult. At that stage, replacement is usually the better option.

Old upholstery rule: if it’s clumped solid, it’s done.

How to Maintain & Restore Fibre Filling

Regular plumping makes a huge difference.

✔ To Maintain Loft

  • Remove the inner pad if possible

  • Pull and squeeze sections firmly

  • Shake and rotate the cushion

  • Tease the fibre apart by hand

The simplest method?
Grab the clumps and gently pull them apart to re-introduce air, then restuff evenly.

It’s basic, but it works.

✔ If It’s Already Matted

If the fibre has formed hard, compact lumps, full recovery isn’t realistic. You can tease it slightly, but it won’t regain original loft.

At that point, replacement filling will give a far better result.

A Smarter Way to Fill

If you’re rebuilding a bed:

  • Use fibre generously

  • Avoid leaving hollow corners

  • Consider combining with a foam base for larger or heavier dogs

  • Keep spare fibre for future top-ups

Beds don’t fail because fibre is bad.
They fail because they’re under-filled and never maintained.

Do it properly once, and it lasts far longer.
