Cowens Ltd manufactures high-quality traditional cotton waddings and skin waddings in a variety of formats for upholstery, coffin lining, polishing, and coach trimming where padding, softness, and retained shape are required.
Economical padding and anti-bearding interliners engineered for traditional and contract upholstery.
28’s, 32’s & 36’s
Manufactured traditionally since 1901. Cotton fibers are carded into a web before being needle felted to retain natural softness and thickness.
Spunbond Skin
Features our traditional needle-felted grey cotton wadding core backed with a lightweight spunbond skin layer for added handling strength and smooth application.
Fire Resistant
Soft, light, and lofty skin wadding made from natural fibers in brilliant white or oyster color. Prevents hair and fillings from poking through under light fabrics.
