Description
The Hebden cushion is a two-sided piece made entirely from cotton, and the two faces are the point of it. One side is a soft washed percale in a deep denim blue; the other carries a woven stripe in navy and cream. Turn it over and you have a different look for the same cushion, which is a genuinely useful thing when you want to change a room without buying anything new. It measures 55cm square, a generous size that sits well against standard pillows and reads as a proper feature rather than a small accent.
This one is made for a bed first and foremost. At 55cm it layers naturally in front of a pillow stack, and the navy and cream stripe works with plain bedding as easily as it does with pattern. It is equally at home on a sofa or a reading chair, where the washed cotton face invites you to actually lean on it. The blue tones are quiet and easy to live with, so it settles into a scheme rather than fighting it, and the reversible construction means you can dress it up with the stripe or keep it plain with the solid face.
The cushion is finished with a striped Oxford border running around the edge, which frames both faces and ties the two sides together. A zip closure lets you take the cover off for washing, so keeping it fresh is straightforward. Being pure cotton, it is breathable and takes a wash well, softening a little with each one, and the washed finish means it already has that lived-in feel from the start. It is a relaxed, easy piece to build a bed or a sofa around.

Frequently Asked
Is the cushion the same on both sides?
No, and that is the appeal. One face is a woven navy and cream stripe and the other is a plain washed percale in denim blue, so you can turn it to suit the room.
What is percale and why does it matter here?
Percale is a plain, closely woven cotton with a smooth, cool, matt handle. On the reverse of this cushion it gives you a soft, laidback surface that feels good to lean against.
Can I remove the cover to wash it?
Yes. There is a zip closure along the edge, so you can take the cover off for washing and put it back on easily once it is dry.
How big is the cushion?
It is 55cm square, which is a generous size that layers well on a bed in front of your pillows and holds its own on a sofa or armchair.
What is the border around the edge?
It has a striped Oxford border running around the outside, a flat framing edge that neatens both faces and pulls the striped and plain sides together.
