Foam4U’s stockinette rolls are an essential component in upholstery, cushion-making and foam installations. Designed to reduce friction, ease insertion of foam into covers, and extend the life of both foam and fabric, stockinette plays a subtle but vital role in delivering a professional finish.

Stockinette is a tubular, stretchable knitted netting (typically poly-cotton or synthetic) that slips over foam to reduce drag when fitting cushion covers. Foam 4 U
Without it fabric and foam rub against each other, which can distort cushion edges over time. With stockinette in place, the cover slides smoothly, helping cushions retain their shape and reducing fabric stress. Foam 4 U
It also serves as a protective barrier between foam and the outer fabric, helping to prevent pilling and wear.
You’ll find this product in both full roll and metre-based options — for example a 5 kg roll or by-the-metre cuts as needed. Foam 4 U

Re-covers and refurbishment jobs where foam is reused
Order extra length – allow for 5–10 % extra to accommodate stretch and fitting.
Stretch carefully – pull gently when fitting over foam to avoid tearing or laddering.
Fit first, trim later – wrap foam, insert into cover, then trim any excess material.
Avoid rough handling – the knitted nature means it can snag if handled harshly.
Pre-test with your fabric – for very tight cushion covers, test on a small scrap to check fit.
