🧡 Stockinette for Upholstery Cushions

When you’re fitting foam cushions into covers, stockinette is the hidden hero that makes the job smoother, cleaner, and more professional. This soft, tubular knit sleeve slides over the foam, protecting both the foam and the fabric cover while helping your cushion keep its shape for longer.

At Foam4U, we supply high-quality white polyester stockinette by the metre β€” ideal for wrapping seat, back, or bench cushions in any upholstery project. Whether you’re restoring an old sofa, refitting campervan seating, or making new garden cushions, stockinette ensures your covers go on neatly and stay that way.


βœ… Why Use Stockinette?

  • Easier fitting: Makes foam slide smoothly into tight covers without snagging.

  • Longer-lasting foam: Reduces wear and tear caused by fabric friction.

  • Professional finish: Helps cushions hold their shape and look crisp.

  • Added protection: Keeps foam clean during fitting and everyday use.


πŸ’‘ How to Use

Cut your stockinette to length, slide it over the foam like a sleeve, and trim any excess. For larger cushions, allow up to three times the cushion length to give enough stretch and coverage.

You can use stockinette on its own or in combination with Dacron wrap for a soft, plump finish.


πŸͺ‘ Perfect For

  • Sofa and chair cushions

  • Window seats and benches

  • Campervan, caravan, and boat cushions

  • Garden and conservatory seating


Tip: For the best results, add Dacron wrap before your stockinette to achieve a rounded, full-bodied cushion finish.
