Cockatoo Reversible Polyester Cushion - Multicolour

This outdoor cushion carries a hand-painted cockatoo on one face, its pale crest tipped with coral and orange, perched among jungle foliage against a lime-green ground framed by a warm rust border. It is made from 100% polyester, and it measures 43 x 43cm, a standard square that suits a common pad size and keeps replacement simple. Being polyester through and through, it is a hard-wearing synthetic that resists fading and does not soak up water the way natural fibres do, which is why the supplier specifies it as UV and water resistant for life outside.

It is built to earn its place on a garden bench, a patio chair or a balcony seat, the kind of spot that sees sunshine, the odd shower and the occasional spilt drink. The bird print gives you a bold front, and the reverse is a quieter scatter of green leaves on a soft sage ground, so you get two looks from one cushion and can turn it to match the mood of the day. It sits happily against black metal furniture and timber decking, and works alongside other tropical prints if you are dressing a seating group rather than a single chair.

The construction is a standard knife edge with a hidden zip closure, so the cover comes off for cleaning and the seam stays clean-lined without piping. The design is printed rather than woven, which keeps the colour crisp and the pattern sharp across the whole panel. Both faces are usable, so nothing is wasted in storage or in use. If you want a matching floor piece, the supplier makes a Cockatoo outdoor rug in the same print, which lets you carry the tropical theme from seat to ground across a coordinated scheme.

Can this cushion be left outside?

Yes, the supplier makes it from UV and water resistant polyester so it is designed to cope with sunshine, showers and the occasional spill outdoors.

Is the cushion the same on both sides?

No, it is reversible with two different looks. One face shows the hand-painted cockatoo and the other shows a scattered green leaf pattern on a soft sage ground.

Does the cover come off?

Yes, there is a hidden zip closure along one edge, so you can remove the cover from the pad when you need to.

What size is it?

It measures 43 x 43cm, a standard square that fits a widely available pad size and makes finding a replacement filler straightforward.

What is it made from?

It is 100% polyester, a hard-wearing synthetic fibre that resists fading and does not absorb water the way natural fibres would, which suits it to outdoor use.
