Description
The Benton cushion is built around a herringbone twill, a zig-zag weave you can read plainly across the whole face of the fabric. It is made from 100% cotton, and the double-sided construction means the same pattern runs across both faces, so there is no back to keep hidden. Down the centre run two dark contrast stripes against a natural beige ground, a simple detail that gives the cushion a point of focus without shouting. The cover measures 40 by 50cm, a rectangular shape rather than a square, which reads as a lumbar cushion in use.
This is a piece for layering rather than filling a whole sofa on its own. The muted, neutral palette sits happily against a linen sofa, a wooden armchair or a boucle seat, and it holds its own beside busier textured cushions and darker tones without competing with them. The rectangular proportion makes it a natural choice for the small of the back on a chair or as the front layer in a stack on a bed or bench. Because the pattern is woven in rather than printed, the texture does real work in a scheme that leans on natural materials.
Cotton is a breathable, hard-wearing natural fibre that takes a wash well and softens with use, which is what you want from something handled every day. The cover closes with a zip, so it comes off cleanly for cleaning and goes back on without a fuss. The twill weave gives the fabric a firm handle and a bit of body, so it holds its shape in a stack. The contrast stripe and quiet ground make it an easy companion to plainer pieces when you are dressing a seat or a bed.

Frequently Asked
Is the pattern the same on both sides?
Yes. The cover is a double-sided design, so the herringbone weave and central stripe appear on both faces and there is no plain back.
What size is this cushion?
The cover measures 40 by 50cm, a rectangular lumbar shape rather than a square, which suits the small of the back or the front of a stack.
What is it made from?
It is made from 100% cotton, a breathable natural fibre that is hard-wearing, softens with use and handles regular washing well.
Does the cover come off?
Yes, it has a zip closure along one edge, so you can remove the cover for cleaning and put it back on easily.
Is the herringbone printed or woven?
The herringbone twill is woven into the fabric rather than printed on top, so the pattern is a real texture you can feel as well as see.
