Description
The Hebden cushion is made from 100% cotton percale, quilted across its face into an even grid of soft squares and finished with a slim Oxford border that frames the whole panel. Cotton percale is a plainly woven cotton, and here it has been garment washed, which is why the surface reads as gently crumpled rather than crisp. That washing is what gives the cushion its lived-in hand from the moment it arrives, with none of the stiffness a new-woven cotton can carry. The colour is a soft dusky pink, warm rather than bright, and the same tone runs across the front, the border and the reverse.
This is a square scatter cushion, and it earns its place at the front of a layered bed or along the back of a sofa. On a bed it sits well ahead of larger pillows and shams, where its quilted texture reads against smoother bedding and striped covers. It works just as easily on a reading chair or a window seat, anywhere a soft, mid-weight cushion is wanted for propping rather than sheer decoration. The muted pink is quiet enough to sit alongside neutrals, warm browns and other washed tones without competing.
The quilting is stitched into a regular squared pattern that gives the face its light padding and keeps the filling evenly spread, so the cushion holds an even shape rather than sagging to the middle. A zip closure runs along one edge, which means the cover comes off for washing and goes back on without a fight. Being pure cotton, it takes a warm domestic wash comfortably and softens further with each one. It comes as a plain cushion in a single dusky pink, an easy companion to a wider bedding look.

Frequently Asked
What is the cushion made from?
It is 100% cotton percale, quilted across the face and garment washed so the fabric feels soft and lived-in straight away.
Can I take the cover off to wash it?
Yes. There is a zip closure along one edge, so the cover slips off easily for washing and goes back on without trouble.
How big is the cushion?
It is a square cushion measuring 55 by 55 centimetres, a scatter size that suits the front of a bed or the corner of a sofa.
What does garment washed mean for the fabric?
Garment washing softens and lightly crinkles the cotton before it reaches you, so it has a relaxed hand rather than the crisp stiffness of new cloth.
What colour is it?
It is a soft dusky pink, warm rather than bright, and the same tone carries across the front, the Oxford border and the reverse.
