Palm Royale Stripe Ruffle Printed Polyester Cushion - Pink/Red

This is the Palm Royale Stripe cushion, a 50x50cm square worked in a bold pink and red stripe with a gathered ruffle trim running right around the edge. The stripes run vertically across the face and carry on into the ruffle, so the frill reads as part of the pattern rather than a plain border. It is made from 100% polyester, a hard-wearing fibre that holds printed colour well and resists fading, which is why the pink and red stay this vivid across the whole panel.

The record describes this as an outdoor cushion, and the fabric is water-resistant, so it is built for a garden bench, a patio chair or a conservatory seat where an ordinary cotton cushion would struggle with a stray shower or damp morning air. At 50x50cm it is a generous square that fills a seat properly rather than perching on it, and the ruffle gives it enough presence to sit on its own or in a group. In the wider range the same stripe and ruffle appears in other colourways, so you can mix this pink and red with a green, an orange or a soft pink and yellow.

The cover has a zip closure, so it lifts off the pad easily when you want to bring it in or freshen it up. Polyester is quick to shed water and dries fast, which matters most on a cushion that lives outside and takes the weather. The ruffle is generous and gathered rather than flat, giving the square a playful, slightly retro edge that works well against plain garden furniture or a neutral outdoor rug. Group two or three together on a bench for a fuller look, or set one against a chair as a single accent.

Can this cushion be used outside?

Yes, the record describes it as an outdoor cushion made from a water-resistant polyester fabric, so it is intended for a garden, patio or conservatory setting.

Does the cover come off?

It does. The cover has a zip closure, so you can remove it from the pad easily when you want to bring it indoors or freshen it up.

How big is the cushion?

It measures 50x50cm, a generous square that fills a seat well and gives the ruffle trim enough room to show without looking crowded.

Why polyester rather than cotton for outside?

Polyester is a durable fibre that sheds water and dries quickly, and it holds printed colour without fading, which suits a cushion that lives outdoors and meets the weather.

Does the stripe carry into the ruffle?

Yes, the pink and red stripes run into the gathered ruffle around the edge, so the frill reads as part of the pattern rather than a plain contrast border.
