vadderade

Vadderade is a Swedish term used as the plural form of the adjective vadderad, describing items that are padded or quilted. It is commonly applied to clothing, accessories, and upholstery where padding is placed between layers of fabric.

Vadderad/vadderade derives from the verb vaddera, to pad or stuff, and is used to indicate padding that provides warmth, structure, or insulation. The form vadderade is used with plural nouns, for example vadderade jackor or vadderade kuddar.

Padding may consist of wadding, batting, or fleece, made from natural or synthetic fibers. Common fillings include polyester batting, cotton batting, down, or wool. Construction often uses quilting or baffling to keep the filling evenly distributed and to create decorative patterns.

In fashion, vadderade jackets, coats, vests, and accessories are valued for warmth and shape retention. In upholstery, vadderade sofas and armchairs offer cushioning and comfort. In bedding, the term can describe quilts or duvet covers with integrated padding, though it is more commonly used for garments and furniture.

Care and maintenance depend on the material and construction. Follow garment labels for washing and drying; many vadderade items are suitable for gentle machine washing or require dry cleaning. Improper washing can cause clumping or loss of insulation, so even padding distribution and appropriate care are important to preserve function and appearance.
