Rubberised hair/fibre

Sold As: 72 x 36 x 1 inches

Rubberised hair fibre is a traditional upholstery filling material that has been trusted by craftspeople for generations. Made from a blend of natural fibres bonded with rubber, it offers a firm yet resilient feel that is ideal for seats, backs, and arms of sofas, chairs, and other upholstered furniture. It holds its shape beautifully over time, making it a go-to choice for both restoration projects and new builds alike.

This product is sold as a single sheet measuring 72 x 36 x 1 inch, giving you a generous piece to work with whether you’re tackling a full seat pad or a smaller repair job. The 1-inch thickness provides a solid foundation layer that can be used on its own or combined with foam and wadding for a more luxurious, layered finish. It cuts cleanly and easily, so shaping it to fit your project is straightforward even for those new to upholstery.

Rubberised hair fibre is a favourite among trade upholsterers for its durability and authentic feel, but it’s equally well-suited to enthusiastic DIYers taking on a restoration project at home. If you’re aiming to recreate that classic, traditional upholstery feel, this is an essential material to have in your toolkit.
