Description
This is a rectangular Christmas cushion with a hand-hooked, tufted face carrying a bold "Merry Christmas" slogan in red script across a cream ground, framed by a soft wiggly border in red and warm pink. The lettering and border are worked in raised loops of pile, which gives the front a chunky, textured feel you can see clearly in the close-up. The face is 100% polyester and the reverse is 100% cotton, and it measures 30 x 50cm, a lumbar shape that sits comfortably behind the small of your back or props against the arm of a sofa.
The long, low proportions make it a natural fit on a sofa or armchair, where it works alongside squarer scatter cushions rather than competing with them. The red-and-cream palette leans festive, so this is one for the run-up to Christmas: layer it with plain red or cream cushions and a warm throw, and let the tufted lettering do the talking. Because the design is worked into the pile rather than printed, it reads well from across a room and keeps its charm under low candlelight or lamplight.
The plain red reverse is cotton and gives the cushion a smart second face if you want to turn it over. Construction is tufted front and back, with a zip closure along one edge so the cover comes off easily. The polyester face is hard-wearing, which matters on a seasonal piece that gets packed away and brought out year after year; polyester holds its colour and resists creasing, and the cotton reverse is a breathable, natural fibre that feels soft against the arm. Store it flat and dry between seasons and the hooked pile will keep its shape.

Frequently Asked
What is the cushion made from?
The tufted front is 100% polyester and the plain reverse is 100% cotton, so you get a hard-wearing hooked face and a soft, breathable natural back.
Does the cover come off?
Yes, there is a zip closure along one edge, so you can take the cover off the pad whenever you need to.
What size is it and where does it sit best?
It measures 30 x 50cm, a rectangular lumbar shape that suits a sofa or armchair, sitting well beside squarer scatter cushions.
Is the design printed or woven in?
The lettering and border are worked into raised tufted pile rather than printed, which gives the front real texture and depth you can see up close.
Can I use it all year round?
The red and cream festive slogan makes it best suited to the Christmas season, and it stores easily to bring out again each year.
