Merry & Bright Striped Faux Fur Cushion - Red/Pink

This is a rectangular faux fur cushion measuring 30 x 50cm, worked in bold diagonal stripes of red and pink and embroidered across the front with the words "Merry & Bright" in a flowing script. The whole face is a plush pile fabric, so the lettering sits raised and slightly proud against the deep pile, catching the light where the stitching runs. The reverse is a solid red in the same soft faux fur. It is made entirely from polyester, which is what gives the pile its dense, warm feel and keeps the colour bright and stable over a long season of use.

At 30 x 50cm this is a lumbar or bolster size rather than a big square, which makes it the piece you prop at the small of your back on an armchair or set at the front of a bed or sofa dressing. The candy-cane red and pink stripe and the festive greeting make it plainly a Christmas cushion, so it works best layered in front of plainer everyday cushions from late autumn through the holidays. It suits a bright, playful festive scheme rather than a muted one, and the pink softens the red enough to sit alongside cream or natural throws.

The cushion is finished with a zip closure along one edge, so the cover can be taken off and the insert handled separately, which is the sensible arrangement for a seasonal piece you pack away for most of the year. The embroidery is stitched rather than printed, so the greeting will not fade or crack with handling. The faux fur pile rewards a gentle shake and a smooth of the hand to keep it sitting evenly. It is a standalone festive design rather than part of a wider named range, chosen to add a warm, tactile note wherever your Christmas decorating begins.

What is the faux fur made from?

The cushion is made entirely from polyester, which gives the pile its dense, soft feel and holds the red and pink colour brightly through repeated seasonal use.

Does the cover come off?

Yes. There is a zip closure along one edge, so you can remove the cover from the insert for storage or handling when the festive season is over.

What size is this cushion?

It measures 30 x 50cm, which is a rectangular lumbar shape rather than a large square, ideal for propping at your back or dressing the front of a sofa.

Is the lettering printed or stitched?

The "Merry & Bright" greeting is embroidered, so the stitching sits raised against the pile and will not fade or crack with handling the way a print can.

Will it work with my existing cushions?

The bright red and pink stripe reads as a festive piece, so it layers best in front of plainer everyday cushions and alongside cream or natural throws.
