Description
The Effie cushion is made from 100% slub cotton, a weave with slight irregularities spun into the yarn so the surface carries a gentle, uneven texture rather than a flat finish. The face is plain, with no print to compete with, and the whole cushion is edged in a gathered ruffle trim that runs the full way round. It measures 45cm square, the standard size that most cushion inserts and covers are cut to, so a spare pad slips in without hunting for an odd fit.
A plain ruffled cushion earns its keep by softening a scheme without adding pattern. It sits comfortably on a sofa, an armchair or a bed, and it layers happily against printed or striped cushions, letting the frilled edge do the decorative work. The sage-green tone is quiet and easy to place, so it works alongside neutral upholstery and warm painted walls as readily as it works against a bolder companion. Group two or three for a fuller, gathered look, or use a single one to break up a run of plainer cushions.
The ruffle is a gathered frill of the same cotton, stitched around the perimeter, and the cover fastens with a zip so the insert stays tucked away and the cover comes off for cleaning. Being pure cotton, it is a natural fibre that is breathable and takes a wash well, though cotton can crease and shrink if handled roughly, so a cool wash and gentle drying keep it in shape. The zip means you can lift the cover clear rather than washing the whole cushion. Effie is offered in soft, pale tones, so if the sage suits your room there may be a companion shade to pair it with.

Frequently Asked
Is the cover removable for cleaning?
Yes, the cushion has a zip closure so you can take the cover off the insert whenever it needs freshening up or cleaning.
What does slub cotton feel like?
Slub cotton has small thick and thin spots spun into the yarn, giving a soft handle with a gently textured, slightly nubbly surface rather than a perfectly smooth one.
What size cushion insert do I need?
The cover is 45cm square, so a standard 45cm insert fits it well. A slightly larger pad gives a fuller, plumper look if you prefer.
Will the sage colour go with patterned cushions?
Yes, the plain face and quiet sage tone make it an easy layering piece that sits well beside striped or printed cushions without clashing.
Does the ruffle run all the way round?
Yes, the gathered ruffle trim edges the whole cushion on all four sides, framing the plain centre panel evenly.
