Description
This is the Herb cushion, a 50 x 50cm square with an embroidered botanical design worked in mustard yellow across a pale, natural ground. The front is a cotton and linen mix, 95% cotton and 5% linen, and the reverse is a soft mustard velvet, so the two faces give you a choice: the trailing embroidered stems for a decorative front, or the plain velvet turned outward for a quieter look. A slim piped trim runs around all four edges, framing the panel and giving the seam something to hold onto.
A 50cm square is the standard sofa cushion, and this one earns its place on a settee, a reading chair or across the head of a bed. The pale embroidered face sits happily against grey, cream and darker neutral upholstery, while the mustard velvet back means it still works turned over if you want more colour and less pattern in the mix. The upright, stem-like embroidery gives it a natural, country feel rather than anything busy, so it pairs comfortably with plainer cushions of the same size and lets the pattern do the talking.
The front is 95% cotton with 5% linen, a blend that gives you the softness and easy handle of cotton with a little of linen's texture and body, and the velvet reverse adds a deeper, plusher touch on the other side. It is filled with duck feathers, which give a soft, mouldable feel that plumps back up with a shake rather than holding a flat dent. A zip closure runs along one edge so the cover comes off the feather inner when you need it to. Made in the UK, it is one to buy in a pair or to set against the Herb range's plainer companions.

Frequently Asked
What is the cushion made of?
The embroidered front is 95% cotton with 5% linen, and the reverse is a soft velvet, so you get a textured decorative face and a plusher plain back.
Can I use either side facing out?
Yes. One side shows the mustard botanical embroidery on a natural ground, and the other is plain mustard velvet, so you can turn it for more pattern or more colour.
What is inside the cushion?
It is filled with duck feathers, which give a soft, mouldable feel and plump back up with a shake rather than holding a flattened shape.
How does the cover come off?
A zip closure runs along one edge, so you can slip the cover off the feather inner whenever you need to adjust the filling or change the look.
What size is it and what does it suit?
It measures 50 x 50cm, the standard square for a sofa or bed, and sits well against grey, cream and darker neutral upholstery.
