Herb Velvet Linen Cushion - Sage

The Herb cushion carries an embroidered botanical design across its front, worked in sage green thread on a pale natural ground. Trailing fronds rise from the lower edge, stitched with real texture you can feel under your fingers rather than printed flat. The front is woven from 95% cotton with 5% linen, giving a fabric with the honest, slightly slubbed character that linen brings even in a small proportion. The back is velvet in a deep sage green, so one cushion offers two quite different surfaces. It measures 50 x 50cm, the standard large square that anchors a sofa or a bed without looking lost.

A 50 x 50cm cushion is the piece most rooms want first: big enough to lean against properly, generous enough to sit at the back of a scatter arrangement with smaller cushions layered in front. The green-on-natural embroidery sits happily against neutral upholstery, and the velvet reverse means you can flip it for a plainer, softer look when you fancy a change. It suits a country or garden-facing living room, a reading chair, or the head of a made bed. The two faces let one cushion do the work of two moods.

The cover is finished with a piped trim around the edge, which gives the seam a defined line and helps it keep its shape through use. A zip closure lets you remove the inner for adjustments or seasonal storage. The filling is duck feather, which gives a soft, mouldable body that plumps back with a shake and holds a dent where you lean. Cotton and linen are both breathable natural fibres, and the linen content means the front takes a little natural creasing as part of its texture. Style it with plain velvets and other botanicals for a layered, planted feel.

Is the botanical design printed or embroidered?

It is embroidered in sage green thread, so the fronds have a raised, textured feel you can run your fingers over rather than a flat printed surface.

What is inside the cushion?

It comes filled with duck feathers, which give a soft, mouldable body that plumps back up with a shake and holds a comfortable shape when you lean against it.

Can I remove the cover?

Yes, there is a zip closure along one edge, so you can take out the feather inner for storage, adjustment or seasonal changes whenever you need to.

What size is this cushion?

It measures 50 x 50cm, the large square size that works well at the back of a sofa or across the head of a bed with smaller cushions in front.

What does the back look like?

The back is a plain sage green velvet, soft to the touch, so you can flip the cushion for a quieter look when you prefer something without the embroidery.
