Millie Ruffle Striped Polyester Seat Pad - Pink

These Millie Ruffle seat pads come as a pair, each a 40 x 40cm square of 100% polyester woven in a fine pink and white stripe. A gathered ruffle runs the full way round the edge, and the face is drawn in with buttoned tufts that hold the filling evenly across the seat rather than letting it drift to the corners. Both the face and the reverse are the same striped polyester, so there is no plain back to keep hidden. It is a printed stripe, so the colour sits on the surface of a smooth, hard-wearing cloth.

The pads suit dining chairs, kitchen chairs and carver-back garden seating equally, and being sold in twos means you can dress a matching pair of chairs in one go or split them across two rooms. The stripe is soft enough to sit against painted wood, rattan or metal without fighting whatever is already in the room, and the pink reads as a warm coral rather than a cool blush. Because the material is polyester, it copes with a patio table as readily as a breakfast bar, which is where these earn their keep against a plain cotton pad.

Each pad fixes with a pair of matching striped ties at the back two corners, so you knot them round the chair uprights and the pad stays put when someone stands up. There is a zip closure, which means the cover comes off the filling when you need it to. Polyester holds its colour well in daylight and shrugs off the odd splash, which is what makes it a sensible choice for a seat that lives outdoors as much as in. The ruffle gives a softer edge than a plain piped pad, so these lean towards a relaxed, cottage-style table setting.

How many seat pads do I get?

How do the pads stay on the chair?

Each pad has a pair of matching striped ties at the back corners that you knot around the chair uprights to keep it from sliding.

Can I use these outside?

Yes, the polyester face and reverse are made for indoor and outdoor use, so they suit a patio or garden table as well as a kitchen chair.

Does the cover come off?

There is a zip closure, so the striped cover can be separated from the filling when you need to.

What size are they?

Is the pattern on both sides?

Yes, both the face and the reverse are the same pink and white striped polyester, so there is no plain underside.
