Product details
Polyester Wadding 400 Gram (Per Metre) is the heaviest and thickest option in our fiberfill collection — 400 grams per m² for maximum filling and insulation. Choose this version when you need an extra thick, warm layer that truly makes a difference. Perfect for heavy winter blankets and sleeping bags, extra thick seat cushions and pouffes, and outdoor projects where excellent thermal insulation is required. The heaviest choice for the most demanding projects.
Made from 100% polyester, this fiberfill wadding is light, resilient and easy to work with. The compressed roll structure provides a uniform filling layer across the full width — ideal for sewing projects where consistent thickness is important. Order by the metre from 0.5 metre, or choose a larger quantity for a better price.
Within the Fiberfill & Pillow Filling collection, this wadding is available in six different weights — from airy and light (60gr/m²) to extra thick and warm (400gr/m²) — so you can always find the right thickness for every project. Also view our loose 1000 gram pillow filling for topping up cushions and soft toys.

Processing and Sewing

Frequently Asked Questions about Fiberfill and Pillow Filling
What is fiberfill and what is it used for?
Fiberfill is a soft filling made from fine polyester fibres, also known as polyester wadding or pillow filling. It is used as stuffing for cushions, soft toys and pouffes, and as insulating interlining in quilts, quilted clothing and bags.
What is the difference between loose filling and rolls by the metre?
Loose filling, supplied in a 1000 gram bag, consists of fluffy filling fibres and is ideal for filling or topping up cushions, soft toys and pouffes. The rolls are compressed wadding in fixed thicknesses sold by the metre — designed as an even filling layer for quilts, quilted jackets and bags.
Which thickness do I need for my project?
That depends on the result you want to achieve. Use 60–100 gram/m² for lightly quilted clothing and bags, 100–200 gram/m² for cushions and decorative pillows, 200–300 gram/m² for warm blankets and throws, and 300–400 gram/m² for heavy insulation and sleeping bags.
Can I wash fiberfill?
Yes, polyester fiberfill is machine washable at 40°C with a mild detergent. The filling dries quickly and keeps its shape well after washing. Preferably wash the finished item inside out so the filling stays in place.
Is fiberfill suitable for people with allergies?
Yes, polyester fiberfill is non-allergenic and an excellent alternative for people with allergies to down, feathers or wool. The synthetic fibres do not harbour dust mites and are hygienic and easy to wash.
How do I work with polyester wadding?
Polyester wadding is easy to cut with sharp scissors or a rotary cutter. Sew with a universal needle size 80–90 on your domestic sewing machine. For thicker versions (300–400 gram/m²), a jeans or leather needle can be useful for smoother feeding.
Can I use polyester wadding as interlining in clothing?
Yes, polyester wadding is widely used as batting or interlining in quilts, quilted jackets, gilets and bags. The lighter versions (60–100 gram/m²) are most suitable for clothing and bags. The heavier versions (200–400 gram/m²) provide more insulation and warmth for blankets and outerwear.
How many metres do I need for a cushion?
For a standard decorative cushion of 50×50cm, you need approximately 0.6 metres at 200 gram/m². For thicker filling or larger cushions, calculate more. When in doubt, always order a little extra — fiberfill is affordable by the metre, and running short halfway through is a shame.
