Fruits Gingham Polyester Cushion - Pink

This is a square outdoor cushion in pure polyester, printed with clusters of red cherries scattered across a soft pink gingham check. The print is the same on both faces, so there is no wrong way to sit it out. Around all four sides runs a wavy scalloped edge, finished with a contrasting deeper pink piped trim that follows every curve, and the whole cover measures 45cm by 45cm.

It is made for the garden. The polyester fabric is water resistant, so a sudden shower or a splash from a jug of lemonade will not soak in the way a natural fibre would, and it wipes down rather than needing to be brought inside at the first cloud. That makes it a sensible choice for a metal bench, a patio chair or a set of garden dining seats, where you want something soft to lean against that can also cope with being left out through a sunny afternoon. The pink cherry print sits happily alongside the other fruit designs in the wider Fruits range, so you can mix strawberries, oranges and cherries across a bench without any of them clashing.

The cover closes with a zip, which means you can take it off the pad for cleaning or storage without a struggle. Polyester is a hard-wearing fibre that holds printed colour well and resists fading better than many natural cloths, which matters for anything spending its days in daylight. The scalloped wiggle edge and the piped border give it a playful, homely shape rather than a plain square, and it is a cushion that suits a relaxed garden as easily as a bright kitchen chair. Pair it with the strawberry and citrus prints from the same range for a table set that feels put together for summer.

Can this cushion be left outside?

It is made from a water resistant polyester fabric intended for outdoor use, so it copes with the odd shower and splash better than a natural fibre would.

How do I clean it?

The water resistant surface can be wiped down, and the zip closure lets you take the cover off the pad when you need to for a more thorough clean or for storage.

What size is it?

The cover is a square measuring 45cm by 45cm, which is a standard scatter cushion size that suits most garden chairs and benches.

Is the print on both sides?

Yes, the cherry on gingham print runs across both faces of the cushion, so it looks the same whichever way round you sit it.

Does it come with a filling pad?

The record does not state whether a pad is included, so please check before ordering if you need one supplied.
