Description
The Benton cushion is woven from 100% cotton in a herringbone twill, with a pair of contrast pale stripes running down a deep black ground. The herringbone gives the fabric its subtle directional texture, catching the light differently as you move around it, while the two off-white stripes sit off-centre for a quietly asymmetric look. It measures 40 by 50cm, a rectangular shape that suits the small of the back or the front of a layered arrangement.
This is a cushion for a living room sofa, a reading chair or the head of a bed, and it earns its place among softer, textured pieces. In the photograph it sits in front of a woven cream cushion and a green-and-cream fringed one, and that is exactly the company it keeps well: pale neutrals, muted greens, anything with a bit of surface interest. The dark ground anchors a group of lighter cushions, so if your other pieces are cream, oatmeal or sage, this one gives the eye somewhere to rest.
The design is double-sided, so both faces carry the herringbone weave and you can turn it without losing the look, which is useful for evening out wear over time. It closes with a zip, so the cover comes off easily. Being pure cotton, the fabric is breathable and takes a wash without fuss, and the woven twill holds its structure rather than going limp. Style it plain against a bright sofa, or build it into a mix of textures for something more relaxed and lived-in.

Frequently Asked
What is the cushion made of?
It is woven from 100% cotton in a herringbone twill, which gives the fabric a soft directional texture along with everyday durability.
Is the pattern on both sides?
Yes, the design is double-sided, so both faces carry the same herringbone weave and contrast stripe and you can turn it whenever you like.
Does the cover come off for cleaning?
It has a zip closure, so the cover slips off easily when you need to take it away for cleaning or storage.
What size is it and where does it work best?
It measures 40 by 50cm, a rectangular shape that sits well at the small of your back on a sofa or at the front of a layered group.
What does the herringbone weave feel like?
Cotton twill has a firm, textured surface with a fine diagonal pattern, so it feels substantial rather than flat and holds its shape as you handle it.
