Chesil Check Printed Cotton Cushion - Moss

The Chesil Check cushion is a 50 x 50cm square in pure cotton, printed with a large buffalo check in soft moss green and off-white. The pattern is a generous, open check rather than a fine gingham, so it reads clearly from across a garden or a room, and the print carries the faint slubbed texture you can see in the close-up, giving the green a gently faded, lived-in look. A flat oxford border frames all four sides, the kind of stitched-in flange that gives a cushion a crisp, tailored edge.

This is a cushion made to live outdoors. The cotton has been specially treated for outdoor use, so it belongs on a garden bench, a patio chair or a set of rattan seats, and it happily comes indoors for a sofa or a window seat when the weather turns. The muted green sits easily against natural timber, stone and the greys of weathered outdoor furniture, and it works alongside plain linen-look cushions in oatmeal or sage without fighting them. At 50 x 50cm it is a full-size scatter cushion, big enough to sit against and settle into rather than a small accent.

The design is double-sided, so the same check faces you whichever way the cushion falls, which matters on outdoor seating where cushions get knocked about. A zip closure runs along one edge, letting you slip the cover off for cleaning. Being pure cotton, the fabric is breathable and takes a print well, which is why the check looks soft rather than harsh. Style it in a pair for symmetry on a two-seater, or mix it with a plain green cushion to pick up the darker tone in the check.

Can this cushion stay outside?

The cotton has been specially treated for outdoor use, so it suits garden benches and patio seating. We would still bring it in during heavy or prolonged rain to keep it at its best.

Is the check the same on both sides?

Yes, the cushion is double-sided, so the same moss and off-white check shows whichever way it falls on a seat or sofa.

Can I take the cover off to clean it?

A zip closure runs along one edge, so you can slip the cover off for cleaning and put it back on easily afterwards.

What size is the cushion?

It measures 50 x 50cm, a full-size square scatter cushion you can sit back against rather than a small accent size.

What is the oxford border?

It is a flat stitched flange running around all four edges of the cushion, giving the front a crisp, framed, tailored finish.

Does the green look bright or muted?

The check is a soft, muted moss green against off-white, with a faintly faded, textured look rather than a bold, saturated colour.
