Description
The Croft cushion pairs a woven front with a plain velvet reverse, so the two faces do quite different jobs. The front carries a twill-woven chevron in charcoal and cream, a raised zigzag that catches the light and gives the cushion its texture. Turn it over and the back is a smooth, plain velvet in a soft grey, the side you rest against when you settle in. It is a 50 x 50cm square, the standard scatter size that most sofa arrangements are built around, and it is made from 100% polyester throughout.
This is a cushion for the sitting room more than anywhere else. The charcoal-and-cream chevron sits happily against pale linen upholstery and warm neutral walls, and it works alongside its paler sibling in the same range if you want a matched pair with a little variation between them. Being polyester rather than a natural fibre, the cover holds its colour well and shrugs off the everyday knocks a cushion in daily use takes, which makes it a sensible choice for a busy family room or a spot that gets a lot of sun.
The cover is finished with a zip closure, so you can take it off to clean it and put it back without a struggle. That zip also means the pad and the cover are separate, which is worth knowing if you ever want to swap or replace one without the other. The woven twill face and the velvet reverse give you two textures in one cushion, so you can turn it to suit the mood of the room. If you like the look, the range runs to other tones in the same weave, so a group of them can be built up gradually.

Frequently Asked
What is the cushion made from?
Both the woven front and the plain reverse are made from 100% polyester, a hard-wearing fibre that holds its colour and stands up well to everyday use.
Does the cover come off?
Yes. The cover has a zip closure along one edge, so you can remove it from the pad whenever you need to and slip it back on easily.
What does the back of the cushion look like?
The reverse is a smooth, plain velvet in a soft grey, which gives you a cosier, quieter face to turn outward when you prefer it to the woven chevron.
What size is it and where does it suit?
It measures 50 x 50cm, the standard square scatter size, which sits comfortably on a sofa, an armchair or the end of a bed.
Can I buy others to match?
The Croft range comes in a spread of tones in the same twill weave, so you can group several together for a coordinated but varied look.
