Description
The Buxton is a plain woven cushion in soft grey, made from 100% polyester with a subtly textured, luxe-feel surface. It comes in two shapes: a 30 x 50cm rectangular bolster and a 50 x 50cm square. The rectangular size is the long, slim proportion you can see plumped in the photograph, tapering to a soft point at each end, while the square is the classic scatter shape for the middle of a sofa. Both are reversible, so the same finish covers front and back and there is no wrong way to sit it.
This is a cushion for a living room sofa, an armchair or a bedroom bench, and its plain grey works hard because it does not compete with a pattern. The rectangular 30 x 50cm sits well at the small of your back for support, or laid flat across a bed as a front-row bolster. The square 50 x 50cm is the size most people reach for when building up a layered pile of scatter cushions. Grey is the easiest of the range to place, sitting quietly against cream, oatmeal and natural-toned upholstery, and it pairs comfortably with the deeper jewel tones the same design is made in.
The cover is finished with an Oxford border, the flat framed edge you can see running around the seam, and closes with a hidden zip so nothing interrupts the face. Polyester is the practical choice here: it holds its shape, resists creasing and shrugs off everyday knocks and spills better than many natural fibres. The fabric is woven rather than printed, which gives it that quiet depth of colour. Designed and made in the UK, the Buxton is one of a range offered across several soft, muted shades if you want to mix or match across a scheme.

Frequently Asked
What sizes does the Buxton cushion come in?
There are two: a 30 x 50cm rectangular bolster and a 50 x 50cm square, so you can choose a lumbar shape or a standard scatter cushion.
Is the cover the same on both sides?
Yes, it has a reversible double-sided design, so the same woven finish covers the front and the back and either face can sit forward.
What is the Oxford border?
It is the flat framed edge stitched around the seam, giving a defined, tailored outline rather than a plain piped or knife edge to the cushion.
What is the cover made from?
It is 100% polyester woven fabric, which holds its shape well, resists creasing and copes with the daily wear of a busy sofa or bed.
How does the cushion fasten?
It closes with a hidden zip set into the seam, so the fastening stays out of sight and does not break up the plain woven face.
