Description
This is the Deck Stripe cushion in orange and pink, a 59 x 59cm square woven from 100% polyester with a broad vertical stripe running across both faces. The stripe alternates a warm orange with a bright pink, and because the cushion is reversible the two sides carry the same striped pattern, so there is no wrong way to sit it on a chair or bench. The weave is close and heavy, the sort of flat woven face you can see the individual threads in, which is what gives the colour its slightly heathered look up close.
It is a cushion made for the garden, and that is where it earns its keep. Polyester copes with a spell of damp and dries back out where a natural fibre would hold the water and mark, so this is the cushion for a patio chair, a bench, a set of steps or the corner of a rattan sofa where the weather gets at it. The orange and pink read as a summer pairing, and the square 59cm size is generous enough to sit against your back on a deep seat rather than getting lost in it. It sits happily alongside the other stripe colourways in the range, the red, the green and the blue, if you want to build a mixed set across a bench.
The cover fastens with a zip, so you can take it off the pad when you want to. Polyester is easy to keep, wiping clean of the dust and pollen that settle on anything left outdoors, and it holds its colour in strong sun better than most. Being reversible means you can turn it over when one face has taken more of the light. Pair it with plain seat pads in a matching orange or pink to let the stripe do the talking.

Frequently Asked
Can this cushion be left outside?
It is made as an outdoor cushion from 100% polyester, which copes with damp and dries out again, though we would still bring it in over winter or heavy rain to keep it at its best.
Is the pattern the same on both sides?
Yes, the cushion is reversible and carries the same orange and pink stripe on both faces, so you can turn it over whenever you like and it looks the same.
What does the cover fasten with?
The cover has a zip closure, which lets you take it off the inner pad easily when you want to change things around or store it away.
How big is the cushion?
It is a square measuring 59 x 59cm, a generous size that sits well against your back on a deeper garden chair or sofa seat.
What is the cushion made from?
It is woven from 100% polyester, a hard-wearing fibre chosen here for durability and for holding its colour in strong sunlight better than many natural fibres.
How Do I Keep It Looking Good?
Polyester wipes clean of the dust and pollen that settle on anything left outdoors, and holding its colour in sun is one of the reasons the fibre suits a garden cushion.
