Ibiza Abstract Polyester Cushion - Multi

This outdoor cushion carries a bold Ibiza slogan across its front, set above a graphic sunset and palm tree in bands of yellow, orange and pink against a hot pink ground. The lettering is picked out in bright blue, and the whole panel reads as a poster print rather than a subtle pattern. It measures 43 x 43cm, a standard square that suits most seating, and it is made from 100% polyester throughout. The reverse is a plain bright blue, so the cushion gives you two very different looks depending on which way you turn it.

It is built for outdoor use, which is where it earns its keep. Drop it onto a garden bench, a rattan sofa, a patio chair or use it as a floor cushion on decking or grass. The polyester face is water resistant, so it copes with the odd shower and with spills far better than a cotton cushion would, and the strong colours hold their own against greenery and timber furniture. Indoors it works just as happily in a sunroom, a conservatory or a child's room where a splash of holiday colour is welcome.

Construction is straightforward and hard-wearing: a knife edge around all four sides and a hidden zip closure, so the fastening stays out of sight and the cover can come off the pad. Being polyester, it dries quickly after rain and resists fading better than many natural fibres. The blue reverse ties it to the wider Ibiza range of destination cushions, so you can mix and match the Ibiza front with siblings such as Capri, Amalfi and St. Tropez to build a set across a bench or a set of chairs.

Can this cushion stay outside?

It is made from water resistant polyester and designed for outdoor use, so it copes with the odd shower and with spills, though bringing it in during heavy or prolonged rain will keep it best.

Is the cushion pad included, or just the cover?

The cover has a hidden zip closure so it can be removed. The record does not confirm whether a pad is supplied, so please check the listing before you buy.

What does the back of the cushion look like?

The reverse is a plain bright blue with no print, so you can flip it for a solid colour or keep the Ibiza design facing out, depending on your mood.

How big is it and what will it suit?

It is a 43 x 43cm square, a common size that sits comfortably on garden benches, rattan sofas, patio chairs or as a floor cushion on decking.

Will the bright colours fade in the sun?

Polyester holds colour better than many natural fibres, but as with any coloured fabric, long spells in strong direct sun over time may soften the shades.
