Hebden Percale Cotton Cushion - Stone

The Hebden cushion is made from 100% cotton percale, quilted across its face in a grid of soft squares and garment washed so the cloth arrives already relaxed rather than crisp. Cotton percale is a plain, tightly woven cotton, which is why it feels smooth and breathable to the touch and settles into a lived-in softness the more it is used. The colour here is a warm, pale stone, a putty neutral that sits closer to oatmeal than to grey. The face carries the quilted squares; the edge is finished with an Oxford border, the flat framed lip you can see running around all four sides.

This is a square scatter cushion, the kind that goes at the front of a made bed or in the corner of a sofa or armchair. Its quiet stone colour means it works against almost anything: white bedding, a striped headboard, a linen-look throw or a darker upholstered seat. Because the quilting gives it a low, flat profile rather than a plump dome, it layers well in front of larger pillows without toppling them, and reads as a finishing touch rather than the loudest thing in the room. It suits a calm, pared-back bedroom or a living room where you want texture without pattern.

The cover fastens with a zip, so you can slip it off for washing and put it back without fuss. Being pure cotton, it responds well to laundering and softens further with each wash. The quilted construction and the framed Oxford border are what give it structure and hold its shape once it is dressed. If you like the relaxed, washed look, it sits comfortably alongside plain and striped cotton bedding in the same soft neutral family.

What is the cover made from?

It is 100% cotton percale, a plain tightly woven cotton that feels smooth and breathable and has been garment washed for a softer, relaxed handle.

What size is this cushion?

It measures 55 x 55cm, a square scatter size that works at the front of a bed or in the corner of a sofa or chair.

What does the Oxford border mean?

It is the flat framed lip that runs around all four edges of the cushion, sitting just outside the quilted face and giving the cover a neat, structured finish.

What colour is stone?

It is a warm pale neutral, closer to oatmeal or putty than to grey, which makes it easy to pair with white, cream and striped bedding.

Does the quilting make it flat or plump?

The quilted construction gives a low, flat profile rather than a plump dome, so it layers neatly in front of larger pillows without toppling them.
