Description
This is a 43 x 43cm velvet cushion carrying a hand-painted design of bumble bees in flight among clover and other soft florals, set against a warm honey yellow ground. The bees are the thing you notice first, wings picked out in fine detail and drifting across the face of the cushion rather than sitting in a rigid repeat, which gives the print a loose, easy feel. It is made of 100% polyester, with a matching velvet reverse so the pile catches the light on both faces.
A 43 x 43cm square is the standard sofa cushion size, which makes this an easy one to place. It works on a sofa or an armchair, on a bench seat by a window, or propped against the pillows on a bed. The honey yellow ground is warm rather than loud, so it sits happily with the cream and pink versions of the same design shown alongside it, and it lifts a neutral room without taking it over. If you like a country or garden feel indoors, the bee and clover print carries that mood without being fussy.
The cover is finished with a standard knife edge and a hidden zip closure, so the cushion has a clean square edge and the fastening stays out of sight. The zip means the cover comes off when you need it to. Being polyester, the velvet holds its colour well and stands up to everyday use, which matters on a piece that gets leaned on and moved about. It is designed, printed and made in the UK. Buy it on its own or pair it with the coordinating florals for a mix of print and plain across a seat.

Frequently Asked
Is the cover the same print on both sides?
No. The front carries the bee and floral design, and the reverse is a plain honey velvet, so you can turn it for a quieter face when you want one.
Does the cover come off for cleaning?
Yes, there is a hidden zip closure, so the cover slips off the pad. The supplier gives no washing instructions for this cushion, so treat it gently.
What size is this cushion?
It measures 43 x 43cm, which is the standard square sofa cushion size and sits comfortably on most seats, benches and beds.
What is the cushion made of?
It is 100% polyester, with a soft velvet pile on both the printed front and the plain reverse, so it feels smooth and holds its colour with everyday use.
Does it come with a matching set?
The same bee and clover design is offered in cream and pink colourways, so you can mix this honey yellow with the other two across a sofa or window seat.
