Millie Ruffle Striped Polyester Cushion - Duck Egg

The Millie Ruffle Striped Cushion is a 50 x 50cm square with a soft ruffle trim running right around every edge. The face carries a narrow, even stripe in a muted blue on a warm off-white ground, and the same striped fabric is used on both sides, so you can flip it over and keep exactly the same look. Made from 100% polyester, it is designed for outdoor use, which is what shapes almost everything about it: polyester holds printed colour well in daylight and shrugs off the odd shower far better than a natural fibre would.

This is a cushion built for the patio, the garden bench or a set of rattan seating, though there is nothing to stop you using it indoors on a sofa or window seat if the stripe suits your room. The muted blue is easy to sit alongside florals and plain neutrals alike, which is how it is shown here, layered with a botanical throw and a red-striped sibling for a relaxed, put-together look outside. If you are dressing several chairs, the even stripe reads calmly in a group rather than competing with itself.

The cover has a zip closure, so you can slip the pad out for cleaning and put it back without fuss, and the ruffle gives the square a softer outline than a plain knife edge. The stripe is printed rather than woven, which is why the pattern sits crisply on the smooth polyester face. It pairs naturally with the other prints in the Millie range, letting you mix stripes and florals across a seating set while keeping a common thread. Style it two or three to a bench for a generous, gathered feel, or use a single cushion to lift a plain chair.

Can this cushion be used outdoors?

Yes, it is made as an outdoor cushion from 100% polyester, a fibre that copes with daylight and the occasional shower better than natural fibres do.

Is the stripe on both sides of the cushion?

Yes, it is double-sided, so the same duck egg and off-white stripe appears front and back and you can flip it whenever you like.

Can I take the cover off to clean it?

The cover has a zip closure, which lets you remove the inner pad for cleaning and then slip it back in without any fuss.

How big is the cushion?

It measures 50 x 50cm, a standard square that suits sofas, garden benches and most outdoor seating without looking lost or oversized.

What does the ruffle trim add?

The ruffle runs around all four edges and gives the square a softer, gathered outline than a plain knife-edge cushion would have.

Will the blue work with other patterns?

The muted blue stripe sits easily beside florals and plain neutrals, so it mixes well with other cushions and throws on a seating set.
