Description
The Doze cushion is a rectangular 40 x 60cm cushion woven from a space-dyed yarn, a technique that dyes short lengths of the yarn in different tones before it is woven. The result is the flecked, two-toned surface you can see across the fabric: greens, warm tans and hints of blue-grey mingling together rather than sitting in a flat single colour. The blend is 60% polyester and 40% cotton, so the cotton lends the face a soft, natural feel while the polyester carries the hard-wearing side of the mix. A short raw fringe runs around the edge, giving the piece a relaxed, unfinished trim rather than a crisp piped border.
At 40 by 60cm this is a lumbar shape, longer than it is tall, which is the size that sits well in the small of your back on a sofa or an armchair. It works as the front cushion in a layered arrangement, pulling the muted greens and browns of a scheme together, and the fringed edge suits a relaxed, textural room over a formal one. Because the design is reversible, both faces are finished and you can turn it over to freshen the look without buying anything new.
Construction is woven throughout, with a hidden zip closure so the cover can be taken off and the trim stays the visible feature rather than the fastening. The fringe is left raw, so expect a little loose fibre to settle at first as it beds in. With its cotton content, mixed tones and soft handle, the Doze pairs naturally with plain linen-look upholstery and other textured cushions in the same earthy palette, sitting comfortably alongside the wider Doze range in its other colourways.

Frequently Asked
What is the cover made of?
It is a blend of 60% polyester and 40% cotton, which gives you the soft, natural handle of cotton together with the hard-wearing durability of polyester.
Why does the colour look flecked rather than solid?
The yarn is space-dyed, meaning short lengths are coloured in different tones before weaving, so the surface reads as mingled greens, tans and grey rather than one flat shade.
Can I use both sides of the cushion?
Yes, the design is reversible and both faces are fully finished, so you can turn it over whenever you want to freshen the look of your seating.
What size is this cushion and where does it suit?
It measures 40 by 60cm, a lumbar shape that is longer than it is tall and sits well against the small of your back on a sofa or armchair.
Will the fringe shed?
The trim is left raw and unfinished, so you may notice a little loose fibre settling when it is new, which eases as the cushion beds in.
Does the cover come off?
Yes, there is a hidden zip closure along one edge, so the cover can be removed while the fringed trim stays the visible feature rather than the fastening.
