Description
The Medmerry cushion gives you two cushions in one. One face carries a hand-painted wildflower print, a scatter of pink asters, orange calendula, blue cornflowers and green stems on a pale ground, and the reverse turns to a soft check in pink, green and cream. It measures 45 x 45cm, the standard square that fits the widest choice of covers and inners, and it fastens with a zip so the cover comes off cleanly. The face is 100% cotton and the reverse a 97% cotton, 3% linen blend, with a piped trim running the edge in a fine pink and cream check.
This is an outdoor cushion, so it earns its place on garden furniture, a bench, a patio chair or a windowsill seat, and it is just as at home indoors on a sofa or a bedroom chair. The reversible design is the practical point: flip it to change the look of your seating with the season, or simply to face the print outward one week and the check the next. The wildflower side suits a country garden or a bright kitchen, while the check reverse sits well with plainer linens and painted wood.
The cover has a water-resistant coating that helps it shrug off outdoor moisture and light rain, though for heavy weather it is worth bringing cushions in. Cotton is a natural fibre that feels soft against the skin and takes a printed pattern crisply, which is why the painted flowers hold their detail. The zip means you can slip the cover off for washing and store it flat over winter. It belongs to the wider Medmerry range, so you can build up a matched set of wildflower and check across your seating.
