Description
The Millie is a 50 x 50cm outdoor cushion in a green and white heritage stripe, finished with a gathered ruffle trim that runs the whole way round the edge. The stripe is the same on both faces, so the cushion sits happily whichever side is showing and you never need to think about which way it lands when you plump it. It is made from 100% polyester, a fibre chosen here for the outdoors: it holds its colour in daylight and does not soak up water the way a natural fibre would.
This is a cushion for a garden bench, a rattan sofa, a set of dining chairs on the patio or a window seat that catches the sun. The square 50cm size is the standard scale for a sofa or a broad chair, so it fills a corner rather than getting lost in one, and a pair or a run of them dresses a bench neatly. The green and white stripe is an easy partner for painted timber, pale stone and planting, and works indoors just as well if you want the ruffle somewhere it will be seen up close.
The cover is water-resistant, which for an outdoor cushion means a passing shower will not sink straight through, though it is still worth bringing cushions in for a downpour or over winter. A zip closure holds the filling in place and keeps the cover taut, and the ruffle is a printed stripe cut to match the main panel. It is a simple, characterful shape that suits a relaxed, traditional garden scheme, and the stripe pairs comfortably with plainer cushions if you want to build up a mix.

Frequently Asked
Can I leave this cushion outside all the time?
The cover is water-resistant so it copes with a passing shower, but we would still bring it indoors for heavy rain and store it over winter to keep it at its best.
Is the stripe the same on both sides?
Yes, it is a double-sided design, so both faces carry the same green and white stripe and you can use whichever side you like.
Does the cover come off?
There is a zip closure, which holds the filling securely and keeps the cover sitting taut and neat on the pad.
What size is it and what does it suit?
It measures 50 x 50cm, a standard square scale that works well on a garden sofa, a bench or a broad patio chair, whether used singly or in a run.
What is the ruffle made of?
The ruffle is a gathered trim in the same striped polyester as the main panel, running all the way around the edge for texture and a soft finish.
