Description
The Lark cushion is made from four-layer muslin crinkle cotton, a fabric built up from several fine layers that settle into soft, slightly ribbed lines across the surface. That construction is what gives the cover its texture and its lightness at once: pure cotton, so it breathes and feels airy rather than dense, with a gently crinkled face you can see in the close weave. It measures 45 x 45cm, the standard square that most cushion pads and covers are sold to, so replacements and pairings are easy to find. The colourway here is Pink Clay, a warm, muted dusky pink.
A 45 x 45cm square is the workhorse cushion size, and this one is soft-natured enough to suit a bed as readily as a sofa. It sits well on an armchair, layered along the back of a settee, or propped against pillows. The washed, understated finish leans towards a calm, pared-back room rather than a busy one, and the muted clay tone pairs comfortably with cream, rust and soft green, which is how the wider Lark range is shown. If you want a set, the Lark name runs across several muted colourways.
The cover is reversible, so both faces carry the same crinkle cotton and you can turn it without a change in look. A hidden zip closure keeps the fastening out of sight and lets you take the cover off to wash, and the edge is finished with an unfussy knife trim rather than piping or a flange. Being pure cotton, it will soften further with use and washing. Turn it now and then to keep the wear even, and it will hold its relaxed, lived-in feel. It works on its own or grouped with the throws and coordinating cushions in the same range.

Frequently Asked
What size cushion pad does this cover take?
The cover measures 45 x 45cm, so a standard 45cm square pad fits it well. A slightly larger pad gives a fuller, plumper look if you prefer more shape.
Is the cover the same on both sides?
Yes, it has a reversible design, so both faces are the same crinkle cotton. You can turn it over whenever you like without any change in appearance.
What is four-layer muslin crinkle cotton?
It is a fabric made from several fine layers of cotton gauze that settle into soft ribbed lines. This gives it a light, airy feel and its gently textured surface.
Can I take the cover off to clean it?
Yes, there is a hidden zip closure along one edge, so you can remove the cover from the pad. The zip stays out of sight for a clean finish.
Will the cotton soften over time?
Pure cotton tends to soften with use and laundering, so the crinkled texture becomes more relaxed and lived-in the longer you have it.
