Description
This embroidered oblong cushion spells out the word JOY in bold three-dimensional letters across a white cover, with a pair of pom poms in red and teal at each of its four corners. Each letter is stitched in its own colour with a contrasting shadow that makes it seem to stand out from the fabric: a deep blue J edged in pale aqua, a red O shaded in pink and a green Y with a mustard edge. The back is plain white, so the cushion looks just as tidy turned around. It measures 50cm long and 33cm wide and plumps up to 12cm deep, a comfortable size to lean against without taking over a seat.
We like it propped against the pillows on a bed, tucked into the corner of a sofa or set on a reading chair, where its bright colours lift a plain backdrop of white, grey or natural tones. The cheerful word suits a hallway bench, a sunny window seat or a living room that could use a little fun, and the playful lettering sits as happily in a family home as in a small flat. As a present, it is an easy choice for anyone who loves colour and a happy word around the house.
The cover and pom poms are made from a cotton and acrylic fibre mix, the cover closes with a metal zip, and the pad inside is filled with 100% polyester. The whole cushion weighs just under half a kilogram. It arrives vacuum packed, so once opened, give it a little time to expand into its full shape. Hand wash only, do not bleach and do not tumble dry; smoothing the pom poms by hand as they dry keeps them round and fluffy. For a cosy arrangement, set it in front of a pair of plain square cushions so the embroidered letters take centre stage.

Frequently Asked
How big is the Joy cushion?
It measures 50cm long, 33cm wide and 12cm deep. That is a good size for a bed, sofa or armchair where a long cushion sits comfortably.
What is the cushion made of?
The cover and pom poms are a cotton and acrylic fibre mix. The cover closes with a metal zip, and the pad inside is filled with 100% polyester.
Is the back of the cushion embroidered too?
No, the embroidered JOY lettering is on the front only. The back is plain white, and the red and teal pom poms sit at every corner.
How do I wash it?
It is hand wash only. Do not bleach it and do not tumble dry it. Let it dry naturally, and smooth the pom poms by hand as it dries.
Why does the cushion arrive flat?
It comes vacuum packed. Once you open it, give it a little time to expand into its full shape before it looks its plumpest.
What colours are the letters?
The J is deep blue with a pale aqua shadow and the O is red shaded in pink. The Y is green with a mustard edge, and all three sit on a white cover.
