Description
This is a rectangular faux fur cushion measuring 30 x 50cm, made from 100% polyester throughout. The front carries a bold striped design in burgundy and pink, with an embroidered "Merry Christmas" greeting sweeping across the centre and small embroidered stars scattered around it. Faux fur is a pile fabric, so it reads as soft and plush to the touch rather than flat and woven, and the raised pile is what gives the stripes their depth in the light. The reverse, as the second photograph shows, is a plain burgundy fur with no lettering, so the cushion has a quiet side as well as a decorative one.
At 30 x 50cm this is a lumbar or bolster shape rather than a square, which makes it a good fit propped at the small of your back on a sofa or armchair, or laid along the head of a bed. The seasonal wording and the pink-and-burgundy palette make it a Christmas piece, so it suits a living room being dressed for the festive weeks and works alongside plainer cushions in reds, pinks or neutrals. The plush pile is the point here: it is a cushion made to be leaned into on winter evenings rather than kept purely for show.
The cushion is finished with a zip closure, which means the cover can be taken off the pad, and the greeting and stars are embroidered rather than printed, so the detail is stitched into the fabric. Polyester faux fur is hardwearing and holds its colour well, which suits a piece brought out year after year for the same few weeks. Store it flat or loosely rolled between seasons so the pile keeps its lift. If you are building a festive look, pair the striped front with the plain burgundy reverse showing on a second cushion for an easy two-tone arrangement.

Frequently Asked
What is this cushion made from?
It is made from 100% polyester, worked as a faux fur pile that gives it a soft, plush feel on both the striped front and the plain reverse.
Is the Merry Christmas wording printed or stitched?
The greeting and the stars are embroidered, so the lettering is stitched into the fabric rather than printed on top and sits slightly raised against the pile.
Does the cover come off?
Yes, it has a zip closure, so the cover can be removed from the pad when you need to take it off.
What shape and size is it?
It is a rectangular cushion measuring 30 x 50cm, a lumbar shape that works well propped behind your back or laid along a bed rather than as a square.
Is the back of the cushion patterned too?
No, the reverse is plain burgundy faux fur with no lettering or stripes, so you can turn it for a quieter look if you prefer.
