Description
The Buxton cushion is a rectangular scatter cushion made from a soft, woven polyester fabric with a chenille-like surface that catches the light. It measures 30 x 50cm, a bolster-style rectangle rather than the more common square, and the taupe colourway shown here is a warm, muted brown with a subtle mottled texture running through the weave. The face and the reverse carry the same fabric, so it is a reversible cushion you can flip without showing a different back.
A rectangular cushion at this size sits well at the front of a scatter arrangement, propped against larger square cushions on a sofa or bench, or laid along the head of a bed as a lumbar support. The taupe reads as a soft neutral that settles happily against cream, oatmeal and natural linen upholstery, and works just as well layered with warmer or bolder shades if you want the arrangement to build up in tones. Its long, low shape makes it a useful anchor at the front of a group where a square would sit too tall.
The cushion is finished with an Oxford border, the flat fabric edge that frames the pad and gives the cushion a defined, tailored outline rather than a plump edge. A hidden zip along one seam lets you remove the cover, and the polyester face is chosen to be soft to the touch while standing up to everyday use. Polyester holds its colour well and resists creasing, so the cushion keeps its look through regular handling. It belongs to the wider Buxton range, which offers the same design in several other soft shades if you are putting a set together.

Frequently Asked
What size is the Buxton cushion?
It measures 30 x 50cm, a rectangular bolster shape rather than a square, which makes it a good lumbar cushion for the front of a sofa or the head of a bed.
Is the cushion reversible?
Yes, the same woven polyester fabric runs across both the face and the reverse, so you can turn it over without showing a plain or different back.
What is an Oxford border?
It is the flat fabric edge that frames the pad on all four sides, giving the cushion a defined, tailored outline instead of a rounded, plumped edge.
Can I take the cover off?
There is a hidden zip along one seam that lets you remove the cover, so you can take it off the pad when you need to freshen the arrangement.
What does the polyester fabric mean for everyday use?
Polyester is hard-wearing, holds its colour well and resists creasing, so the cushion keeps its shape and look through regular handling on a well used sofa.
