UPHOLSTERERS TIPS
The amount of filling used in a piece of furniture depends on a lot of different factors and an upholsterer will have a large sack beside the workbench and just take what they need, using experience to get the effect required. But as a rough guide for a first stuffing you would need approx.0.5 kilo for a drop-in Dining Seat: 1-1.5kilos for a Stuff-over Dining Seat. and 2-4kilos for an Armchair Seat. Fillings should be held in place with Lightweight Hessian or Scrim, and Cotton/Wool Felt or Skin Wadding is used a barrier to stop the fibre working its way to the top Fabric.
