Description
The Hayle cushion is a pure cotton outdoor cushion with two different faces, and switching between them changes the whole feel of a seat. One side carries wide honey and white stripes; turn it over and the other side is a much narrower stripe in the same honey tone. It measures 50 x 50cm, the standard square scatter size, so it drops into most cushion pads without hunting for an odd fitting. Cotton is a natural fibre that feels soft against bare arms and legs, which matters on a cushion you actually lean into rather than only look at.
This one is made for outdoor seating, and the record tells us the cloth is water resistant, so a garden bench, a patio sofa or a set of wooden lounge chairs is where it earns its place. It sits happily alongside plainer linen-look neutrals and other stripes, and because the wide and narrow faces read so differently you can mix a few of these and still keep a coordinated look. Bring it indoors for a sunroom or a window seat and it works just as well.
The two striped faces are the point of it, joined with a small oxford edge that gives a clean flat border rather than a piped or ruffled one. A hidden zip on the reverse means the cover comes off for cleaning and the pad slips back in without a visible fastening spoiling the front. Because it is 100% cotton, wash it gently and reshape it damp so the stripes stay crisp. Flip it with the seasons, or with your mood, and one cushion does the work of two.

Frequently Asked
Can this cushion stay outside?
It is made for outdoor use and the record describes the cotton as water resistant, so it suits garden and patio seating, though we would still bring it in for heavy rain.
What size cushion pad does it take?
It measures 50 x 50cm, the standard square scatter size, so a 50cm pad fills it well without leaving the corners flat.
How is the cover fastened?
There is a hidden zip on the reverse, so the cover comes off for cleaning and goes back on without a visible fastening on the striped front.
Is it really two designs in one?
Yes, it is reversible. One face has wide honey and white stripes and the other has a much narrower stripe, so you can flip it to change the look.
What is it made from?
It is 100% cotton, a natural fibre that feels soft to the touch and sits comfortably against bare skin on a seat you actually lean into.
