Description
The Hebden cushion is made from quilted 100% cotton percale, garment washed to give it a soft, lived-in handle from the day it arrives. What sets it apart is the surface: a square-grid quilting pattern stitched across the front, with the whole panel finished by an Oxford border, that flat frame of fabric running around the outside edge. In denim blue, it reads as a calm, mid-tone slate rather than a bright navy, and the garment wash keeps the colour gentle rather than flat.
This is a cushion for a bed or a made-up sofa where you are layering soft furnishings rather than one bold accent. The Oxford border and the quilted face give it enough structure to sit upright against pillows without slumping, so it works propped in front of a stack of shams or set alone on a reading chair. The mid-blue tone is easy to place: it sits happily with cream and white bedding, with stripes, and with natural woods, and it does not fight a busier headboard.
The face is quilted cotton, so it has a little loft and body to it, and the flat Oxford edge frames that quilting neatly. A zip closure runs along one side, which means you can slip the cover off for washing and pop it back on without wrestling with the filling. Because it is pure cotton, it launders straightforwardly and softens further with each wash rather than stiffening. If you like the quilted, washed look, it is an easy companion to plainer cotton bedding and to woven throws in the same relaxed register.

Frequently Asked
What does the Oxford border mean for how the cushion looks?
It is a flat frame of fabric running around the outside edge, so the quilted centre sits within a neat border rather than reaching to the seam.
Can I remove the cover to wash it?
Yes, there is a zip closure along one side, so you can take the cover off for washing and slip it back on afterwards.
What size is this cushion?
It measures 55x55cm, a square that suits layering on a bed in front of pillows or sitting alone on a chair or sofa.
Is it made from a soft fabric?
It is quilted 100% cotton percale that has been garment washed, which gives it a soft, relaxed handle rather than a crisp, formal finish.
What colours does it work with?
The mid-tone denim blue pairs easily with cream and white bedding, striped linens and natural wood tones without overpowering them.
