Description
The Holmfirth is a plain navy cushion made from 100% cotton canvas. Canvas is a tightly woven, heavyweight cotton, which is why it holds its shape and stands up to daily handling far better than a lighter weave. The supplier treats this canvas for outdoor use and water resistance, so a shower on the patio does not soak straight through the way it would with an untreated cotton. The cover measures 45 x 45cm, the standard square size that fits the most widely sold cushion pads, so replacing or plumping the insert is straightforward.
This is a cushion built to move between the garden and the living room. The water-resistant finish means it earns its place on a garden bench or an outdoor sofa, and the plain, deep navy sits just as well tossed onto an indoor settee. In the photograph it pairs with a pale grey seat and a striped companion cushion, which shows how a solid navy anchors a mix rather than competing with a pattern. Because there is no print to clash, it works with almost any scheme you already own.
The cover is finished with an oxford border, the flat flange of fabric that runs around all four edges and frames the face, giving a tailored look rather than a plain knife edge. A zip closure runs along one side so the cover comes off for cleaning and the pad slips back in easily. The navy reads as a warm, dark blue in daylight and as near-black in low light, so it holds up well through evening use. Being a plain, hardwearing solid, it is the sort of piece you buy several of and keep for years.

Frequently Asked
Can I use this cushion outside?
Yes. The 100% cotton canvas is treated for outdoor use and water resistance, so it suits a garden bench or an outdoor sofa as well as an indoor one.
Does the cover come off?
It does. A zip runs along one side of the cover, so you can remove it from the pad for cleaning and slip the pad back in afterwards.
What is an oxford border?
It is the flat flange of fabric that runs around all four edges, framing the face of the cushion and giving it a neater, more tailored look than a plain knife edge.
What size pad does it take?
The cover is 45 x 45cm, which is the standard square cushion size, so the most widely sold pads will fit and are easy to replace.
What does canvas feel like?
Canvas is a tightly woven, heavyweight cotton, so it is firmer and more hardwearing to the touch than a light cotton, and it holds its shape well.
