Description
The Peachy cushion turns a summer drink into a print. Against an aqua ground marked with a wavy vertical stripe, a Bellini glass rises through a soft blue-lilac backdrop, ringed by whole and halved peaches, green leaves and the word "Peachy?" set in coral at the foot. It measures 43 x 43cm, the standard square that most cushion pads are sold to fit, and the whole thing is made from 100% polyester. Polyester holds printed colour crisply and springs back from being sat on, which is why an abstract design like this one stays sharp rather than fading into the fabric.
This is an outdoor cushion, so it belongs on a garden bench, a patio chair or a rattan sofa where you want a shot of colour through the summer. The supplier describes the fabric as UV and water resistant, made to cope with sunshine, showers and the odd spill, so you are not carrying it indoors every time the sky looks doubtful. It sits happily beside plainer neutrals and reads as one of a set of drink-themed prints, so it pairs naturally with brighter citrus and cocktail designs if you want to build a livelier grouping outside.
The face carries the peach and Bellini print; the reverse is a contrasting solid orange, so you get two looks from one cushion depending on which way you turn it. It is finished with a standard knife edge and closed with a hidden zip, which keeps the pad tucked away and lets you take the cover off the pad when you need to. The supplier tells us it is designed, printed and made in the UK. Turn it orange-side up on a grey day and print-side up when the sun is out, and it earns its place either way.

Frequently Asked
Can this cushion stay outside?
It is an outdoor cushion made from UV and water resistant polyester, which the supplier says is built to withstand sunshine, showers and spills through the summer season.
What size pad does it take?
The cover measures 43 x 43cm, the standard square size, so a 43cm or slightly larger pad will fill the corners and keep the cushion looking plump.
Does it look the same on both sides?
No. The front carries the peach and Bellini print while the reverse is a solid contrasting orange, so you can turn it for two different looks.
How does the cover come off?
There is a hidden zip fastening along one edge, which keeps the pad enclosed and lets you slip the cover off when you need to.
What is it made from?
It is 100% polyester, a hardwearing fabric that holds printed colour well and springs back into shape after being leaned on or sat against.
