Candy Fa La La Plain Cotton Cushion - Red/White

The Candy Fa La cushion carries a hand-tufted 'Fa La' motif across a cream face, framed by a red-and-white candy-stripe border that runs around all four edges. The face is worked in 100% polyester, tufted into a raised, looped pile that gives the lettering and the striped frame real texture, while the reverse is a plain 100% cotton in solid red. It measures 30 x 50cm, a lumbar shape that sits long and low rather than square, so it reads across the back of a sofa or along a bed rather than filling a corner.

This is a seasonal piece, made for Christmas rather than year-round use, and it earns its place on a sofa, an armchair or a made-up bed through the colder months. The long lumbar proportion is the one to reach for when you already have square cushions in place and want a lower band of colour in front of them. Red and cream sit easily against neutral linen and pale upholstery, and the tufted script reads clearly from across a room, so it does the work of a festive accent without needing anything else alongside it.

The two faces are worked differently on purpose: the tufted polyester front holds its loops and stands up to handling over repeated seasons, while the plain cotton back gives you a smooth, quieter side to turn outward when you want the pattern hidden. A zip closure runs along one edge, so the cover comes off the pad for cleaning and the cushion packs away flat between Christmases. Turn the plain red reverse to the front for a calmer look, or lead with the tufted motif when you want the seasonal note front and centre.

What are the two sides of this cushion made from?

The tufted front face is 100% polyester and the plain reverse is 100% cotton, so you get a textured side and a smooth side on one cover.

How big is the cushion and what shape is it?

It measures 30 x 50cm, a long lumbar rectangle rather than a square, which suits the front of a sofa or along the head of a bed.

Does the cover come off for cleaning?

Yes, there is a zip closure along one edge, so you can remove the cover from the pad whenever you need to freshen it up.

Can I use the plain side facing out?

You can. The reverse is a solid red cotton with no pattern, so turning it outward gives a quieter look when the festive motif is not wanted.

Is this a year-round cushion?

It is a Christmas design, with a festive 'Fa La' motif and candy-stripe border, so most people bring it out for the winter season rather than all year.
