{"product_id":"bertie-velvet-cotton-cushion-saffron","title":"Bertie Velvet Cotton Cushion - Saffron","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Bertie cushion pairs an enzyme washed cotton velvet front with a plainer, hard-wearing cotton reverse, finished all the way round with a frayed, fringed edge. It measures 45 x 45cm, the standard square size, which means it takes a widely available 45cm pad and slips into most cushion covers already in your home without a search for something odd-sized. The velvet face is a warm saffron, a deep golden yellow that reads soft and matt rather than shiny, with the fringe worked in the same tone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA square this size earns its place on a sofa, an armchair or the head of a bed, where it works as the piece you actually rest against rather than one you keep moving aside. The saffron sits happily against warm neutrals, creams and other earthy tones, and the fringe gives it a relaxed edge that suits a contemporary living space without feeling fussy. Group two or three together, or let it stand alone as the one bit of colour in an otherwise pale scheme.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause it is 100% cotton, the velvet has been enzyme washed, a process that softens the pile and gives the surface its lived-in, gently faded character from the start. Cotton is a natural fibre that breathes and takes colour deeply, which is why the saffron looks so full. A zip fastening runs along the reverse, so the cover comes off for cleaning and goes back on easily. The frayed fringe is part of the design and will loosen a little with handling, which is the intended look. Follow the care guidance on the cover's own label, and treat the fringe gently when you plump the cushion so the trim stays even.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100% cotton\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDesign\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlain velvet front, fringed edge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEnzyme washed cotton velvet face, hard-wearing cotton reverse, zip fastening\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45 x 45cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSold as\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle cushion\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size pad does the Bertie cushion take?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cover measures 45 x 45cm, the standard square size, so a 45cm pad fills it well.
