Description
The Buxton cushion is made from a soft, luxe-feel woven polyester in a deep charcoal grey. The fabric has a chenille-like surface that catches the light unevenly, so the face reads as a rich, shifting grey rather than a flat block of colour. It comes in two shapes, a 30 x 50cm rectangle and a 50 x 50cm square, which lets you mix a long bolster with a squarer cushion in the same finish. The design is reversible, so both faces carry the same woven fabric and you can turn it over to even out wear or simply to freshen the look.
This is a cushion for a sofa, an armchair or the head of a bed, and the plain woven face means it sits happily against patterned throws and printed cushions without competing with them. The charcoal works with warm neutrals, pale timber and cream upholstery, and it holds its own beside stronger colours if you are building a layered arrangement. The rectangular size is useful low down on a sofa for lumbar support, while the square suits stacking against the back cushions.
The cushion is finished with an Oxford edge trim, a flat border that runs around the outside, and a hidden zip fastening so the closure stays out of sight. Being polyester, the fabric is hard-wearing and holds its shape well through everyday use, which suits a cushion that gets leaned on and moved about. It is designed and made in the UK. Buxton is offered across a range of colourways, so if charcoal is the anchor of your scheme you can pick up complementary tones from the same range.

Frequently Asked
What does the reversible design mean in practice?
Both faces of the cushion carry the same woven fabric, so you can turn it over whenever you like to even out wear or simply refresh how the arrangement looks.
Which size should I choose for my sofa?
The 30 x 50cm rectangle works well low down for lumbar support, while the 50 x 50cm square suits stacking against the back cushions. Many people use both together.
What is an Oxford edge trim?
It is a flat border that runs around the outside of the cushion, sitting just beyond the seam. It gives the edge a neat, framed finish rather than a plain seam.
Is the fabric hard-wearing?
Polyester is durable and holds its shape well through everyday use, which makes it a sensible choice for a cushion that gets leaned on and moved around a lot.
Does the cover come off for cleaning?
The cushion is finished with a hidden zip fastening, which keeps the closure out of sight and lets you open the cover when you need to.
