Description
The Cabu cushion is worked in a chunky, textured bouclé fabric with a soft, curly shearling-look pile. It is a 100% polyester make, so what you get is the warm, woolly appearance of a sheepskin bouclé without any actual fleece, and the easy behaviour of a synthetic fibre. This taupe colourway is a soft, greyed brown that reads as a gentle neutral rather than a strong tone, and the surface has real depth to it thanks to the dense looped knit. Two sizes are offered: a 45 x 45cm square and a larger 55 x 55cm, so you can mix scales on the same seat.
This is a cushion for adding texture rather than pattern, which makes it easy to live with. It suits a sofa or an armchair where you want something tactile to lean into, and it sits happily against flat-woven linens, plain cottons and other neutral upholstery. Because the colour is quiet, it layers well with bolder cushions or holds its own in a pared-back, muted scheme. The two sizes are useful here: stand the 55cm behind the 45cm to build a soft, stepped arrangement, or scatter the smaller square across a bed. It works equally in a living room, a bedroom or a reading corner.
The cover is reversible, so both faces carry the same bouclé and you can turn it over to even out wear or simply refresh the look. A knife-edged border keeps the outline clean and simple, and a zip fastening runs along one side so the cover comes off for cleaning and the pad can be removed. Polyester is a hard-wearing, quick-drying fibre that holds its shape and resists creasing, which suits a cushion that gets sat against daily. The Cabu is available in a range of muted tones, so you can pick a single shade or gather several across a room.

Frequently Asked
What is the Cabu cushion actually made from?
The cover is 100% polyester worked into a chunky bouclé that mimics the look of a soft, curly shearling fleece without using any wool.
Does the cover come off for cleaning?
Yes, there is a zip fastening along one side, so you can remove the cover from the pad whenever it needs freshening up.
What does reversible mean on this cushion?
Both faces are finished in the same bouclé fabric, so you can turn the cushion over to even out everyday wear or just change things around.
Which size should I choose?
There is a 45 x 45cm square and a larger 55 x 55cm. Many people layer both, placing the larger cushion behind the smaller one on a sofa.
Will the taupe shade go with my sofa?
Taupe is a soft greyed brown, so it reads as a warm neutral and sits comfortably with linen, cotton and other muted upholstery colours.
How does polyester bouclé behave day to day?
Polyester is hard-wearing, holds its shape and dries quickly, which suits a textured cushion that gets leaned against regularly.
