Description
The Lark cushion is made from four-layer muslin crinkle cotton, a construction that gives the fabric its light, airy feel and the gentle, slightly ribbed texture you can see across the face. It measures 45 x 45cm, the standard square that most cushion pads are sold to fit, and it comes in a warm pecan brown, a deep rust-toned shade that reads as earthy rather than bright. The face is plain, with no print to compete with the texture, so the crinkle in the cloth does the work.
This is a cushion for a relaxed, contemporary room rather than a formal one. It sits well on a sofa or an armchair, at the head of a bed, or in a window seat, and its plain warm tone pairs easily with neutral upholstery and other soft, muted shades. Because there is no busy pattern, you can layer several together or set one against a printed cushion without anything clashing. The pecan works with cream, sage and mustard, the other tones we photograph it alongside.
The design is reversible, so both faces are the same crinkle cotton and either can go outward, and there is a subtle knife-edged trim rather than a piped or flanged border, which keeps the outline clean and simple. A hidden zip closure runs along one edge, so the pad slips in and out easily for washing and the fastening stays out of sight. Being 100% cotton, the cover is breathable and takes a wash well, and the crinkle finish means it does not need to be pressed flat. Slip a 45cm pad inside for a full, plump shape.

Frequently Asked
What size cushion pad does this cover take?
The cover measures 45 x 45cm, so a 45cm square pad is the right fit. Choosing a pad the same size or a touch larger gives a fuller, plumper look.
Is the cover really the same on both sides?
Yes, it is a reversible design, so both faces are the same crinkle cotton and either side can face outward, which means you can turn it over to even out wear.
What does four-layer muslin crinkle cotton feel like?
It is soft, lightweight and airy, with a gently ribbed, crinkled texture rather than a smooth flat face. The layers give it body while keeping it light to the touch.
How does the cover come off for cleaning?
There is a hidden zip along one edge, so the pad slips in and out easily and the fastening stays out of sight when the cushion is on display.
Will the crinkle texture need ironing?
No, the crinkle finish is meant to look relaxed, so it does not need pressing flat. Being pure cotton, it is breathable and comfortable against the skin.
