Peacock Animal Polyester Cushion - Multi

This is an outdoor cushion carrying a painterly peacock scene: a single bird in full blue-and-teal plumage perched among jungle foliage, ferns and tropical flowers on a soft duck-egg ground. The front is a busy, detailed print; the reverse switches to a scattered peacock-feather motif on a dusky pink field, so the cushion reads two ways depending on how you turn it. It is made from 100% polyester and measures 43 x 43cm, the standard square that suits most seating.

Because it is a water resistant polyester, this cushion is built for the space that a cotton or velvet cushion would not survive. It belongs on a garden bench, a rattan sofa, a balcony chair or a covered porch seat, where it can take an unexpected shower or a spilled drink without staining or soaking through. Indoors it works just as well on a conservatory chair or a window seat that catches the odd draught of damp air. The multicoloured front sits comfortably against greens, blues and warm neutrals, and the pink reverse gives you a quieter option for the same cushion.

The cover is printed rather than woven, which keeps the colour crisp and the scene sharp, and it fastens with a hidden zip so the closure stays out of sight. Polyester is quick to dry and holds its colour well in daylight, which is what makes it sensible outdoors. The coordinating feather reverse means a pair or a row of these need not all face the same way, and you can flip individual cushions to shift the whole arrangement from bold to soft in a moment.

Can this cushion be left outside?

It is made from water resistant polyester and designed for outdoor use, so it will withstand showers and spills, though we would still bring it in for prolonged heavy weather.

What is on the back of the cushion?

The reverse carries a coordinating scattered peacock-feather print on a dusky pink ground, so you can flip it for a softer, quieter look.

What size is the cushion?

It measures 43 x 43cm, a standard square that sits well on most outdoor sofas, benches and chairs, whether used alone or in a group.

How does the cover fasten?

The cover closes with a hidden zip, which keeps the fastening tucked out of sight and makes the cover straightforward to remove.

Will the colours fade in sunlight?

Polyester holds its colour well in daylight, and this cushion is printed on a UV resistant polyester, which helps the peacock scene stay bright outdoors.
