Martha Floral Linen Cushion - Sage

The Martha is a 50cm square cushion in a soft sage-and-cream ticking stripe, worked in a polyester and linen blend. The face and reverse both carry the same fine vertical stripe, and the front is finished with delicate floral embroidery in pinks, magenta and touches of lilac, gathered into small posies at the corners. A gathered ruffle frames all four edges, so the cushion reads as part cottage sampler, part everyday comfort. It is a plump, generous square that holds its shape when you set it against the back of a sofa or a bed.

This is a cushion for a relaxed, country-leaning room. It sits happily on a linen sofa, a painted bench or a bedroom chair, and the muted green stripe means it works alongside plain velvets and neutral upholstery without competing with them. Because the stripe is quiet and the embroidery is the detail you notice up close, it pairs well with a solid-coloured cushion of a similar size for an easy layered look. The 50cm size is the standard sofa cushion measurement, large enough to lean on and small enough to sit two or three across a three-seater.

The blend is 85% polyester and 15% linen, which gives you the natural, slightly textured look of linen with the everyday hard-wearing quality polyester brings. A discreet zip closure runs along one edge, so the cover comes off for cleaning and goes back on without a fuss. The embroidery and the ruffle both benefit from gentle handling, so treat it as you would any decorative cover. If you like the ruffled, striped look, it is worth pairing with other pieces in the wider Martha range.

What is the cushion actually made from?

The face and reverse are a blend of 85% polyester and 15% linen, which gives a natural linen-look texture with the everyday durability that polyester adds.

Does the cover come off for cleaning?

Yes. There is a discreet zip closure along one edge, so you can remove the cover for cleaning and put it back on easily afterwards.

How big is the cushion?

It is a 50cm square, which is the standard sofa cushion size, large enough to lean on and easy to layer two or three across a sofa.

What does the embroidery look like?

Small posies of pink, magenta and lilac flowers are embroidered onto a fine sage and cream striped ground, sitting near the corners of the front face.

Is the pattern on both sides?

Both the face and the reverse carry the same striped fabric, while the floral embroidery appears on the front of the cushion only.

Will it suit a plain sofa?

The muted green stripe is quiet enough to sit alongside plain velvets and neutral upholstery, so it layers well without competing with a solid-coloured cushion.
