Description
This is an outdoor cushion from the Midnight Garden range, printed on both sides so it gives you two looks in one. One face carries a single large bee, painted in fine detail with its striped body and pale wings, set against a rich teal ground and framed by country flowers. Turn it over and the bee has gone, replaced by an all-over scatter of bright blooms in pink, magenta, cream and blue across the same teal background. It is made from 100% polyester and measures 43 x 43cm, the standard square size that suits most ready-made cushion pads.
Being an outdoor cushion, it is meant for a patio, a balcony or a terrace, on garden seating, a bench or a set of chairs where you want a bit of summery colour. The teal ground is deep enough to sit happily against timber decking, painted walls or greenery, and the two-sided print means you can flip it to change the mood without buying a second cushion. It works on its own or grouped with other pieces from the same range, where the shared teal ground ties the birds, bees and florals together.
The cushion is finished with a knife edge and closes with a zip, so the cover comes on and off easily for the pad inside. The polyester fabric is UV and water resistant, which means it is built to cope with sunshine, showers and the odd spill rather than needing to be brought indoors at the first sign of weather. Polyester holds printed colour well and does not absorb water the way natural fibres do, so the print stays bright and the cushion dries out after rain. The bee print and the reverse floral both belong to the wider Midnight Garden range, so it pairs naturally with the matching bird design.

Frequently Asked
Can this cushion stay outside in the rain?
It is made from UV and water resistant polyester, so it is designed to withstand sunshine, showers and spills. We would still bring it under cover during prolonged wet weather to keep it at its best.
Is the print the same on both sides?
No, and that is the point of it. One side shows a single large bee among florals, and the reverse is an all-over scatter of bright blooms, giving you two different looks from one cushion.
What size pad does it take?
The cover measures 43 x 43cm, which is the standard square cushion size, so a common 43cm or 45cm pad will fill it with a plump finish.
Does the cover come off?
Yes, it has a zip closure along one edge, so you can remove the cover from the pad inside when you need to.
What is a knife edge finish?
A knife edge means the front and back panels are sewn straight together at the seam, giving a clean flat edge rather than a piped or flanged border.
Will the teal colour fade in sunlight?
The polyester fabric is UV resistant, which is intended to help the printed colour hold up against sun exposure better than an untreated fabric would outdoors.
