Stockinette – Cushion Protection & Upholstery Supplies | Intercounty Supplies

When upholstering cushions, achieving a smooth, professional finish often comes down to the right finishing materials. Stockinette from Intercounty Supplies is a must-have upholstery essential, designed to fit easily around almost any cushion shape or size. By creating a protective layer between the foam and the outer fabric, stockinette not only makes cushion covers easier to fit, but also extends the life of both the fabric and the cushion insert.

Supplied in 5kg rolls, our trade-quality stockinette is trusted by professional upholsterers, furniture manufacturers, and DIY enthusiasts across the UK.

Why Stockinette is Essential in Upholstery

Without stockinette, cushions can be difficult to insert into covers, especially when foam edges catch on fabric. Over time, direct friction between foam and upholstery fabric can cause wear, stretching, or damage. By wrapping your cushions with stockinette, you ensure:

• Ease of Fitting – Cushions slide smoothly into covers, saving time and reducing strain on seams.

• Fabric Protection – Reduces friction and wear on outer fabrics, prolonging their life.

• Cushion Longevity – Prevents foam edges from breaking down or chafing over time.

• Professional Finish – Gives cushions a neat, plump, and smooth appearance.

Key Features

• Universal Fit – Flexible enough to fit around almost any cushion size or shape.

• Durable & Strong – Manufactured to withstand stretching without tearing.

• Protective Layer – Guards both foam and fabric against friction wear.

• Ease of Use – Makes cushion insertion into covers quick and hassle-free.

• Bulk Supply – Sold in 5kg trade rolls, ideal for professional workshops.
