Description
This is a reversible outdoor cushion measuring 30 x 50cm, printed on its face with a row of hand-painted watercolour stags standing in a wash of meadow grass and pale sky. Turn it over and you get a woven check in soft nut and cream, so a single cushion carries two different looks. The face is 100% cotton; the reverse is a 97% cotton, 3% linen blend, and both sides are given a water-resistant coating so the cushion can live outdoors as well as in.
It is built for garden furniture, a bench, an outdoor sofa or a window seat, and the long bolster proportion suits the small of your back or the arm of a chair rather than a square scatter. The countryside subject and the muted, natural palette settle easily against timber, rattan and stone, and the two faces mean you can lead with the painted stags when you want the picture and flip to the quiet check when you want calm. Pair it with plainer cushions in cream or a warm neutral so the stag print stays the thing your eye goes to.
The construction is straightforward and practical: a knife edge finish, which gives crisp flat corners rather than a piped or flanged trim, and a zip fastening along one side so the cover comes off when you need it to. Cotton is a natural fibre, breathable and easy to live with, and the small proportion of linen in the reverse adds a little texture to the weave. Bring the cushion in over winter or when heavy rain is forecast, as water resistance is not the same as leaving something out in a storm. It is a warm, easygoing piece that brings a bit of countryside character to an outdoor spot.

Frequently Asked
Can this cushion be left outdoors?
It has a water-resistant coating so it copes with the odd shower and damp garden air, but bring it inside during heavy rain or over winter to keep it at its best.
Is it really reversible, or is one side plain?
Both sides are finished to be seen. One face shows the hand-painted watercolour stags and the other a woven nut and cream check, so you can turn it to suit the day.
What is it made from?
The printed face is 100% cotton and the check reverse is a 97% cotton, 3% linen blend. Cotton is a breathable natural fibre that feels soft to sit against.
What size is it and where does it suit?
It measures 30 x 50cm, a long bolster shape that works well at the small of your back or along the arm of a garden sofa rather than as a square scatter.
Does the cover come off?
Yes, there is a zip fastening along one side, so you can take the cover off the pad when you need to.
