Quilted upholstery is created by stitching together an upholstery covering with one or more layers of cushioning or padding. The stitching creates a patterned surface and helps maintain the position of the underlying layers.
Common quilting patterns include squares, diamonds, channels and geometric designs. Quilting is frequently used on chairs, sofas, headboards and other upholstered furniture.
The final appearance and feel depend on the fabric, padding thickness, stitching pattern and construction technique.
