Plain Printed Polyester Cushion - Grey

This is a plain grey outdoor cushion from the Wrap range, made from 100% polyester and measuring 43 x 43cm. The colour is a soft, muted grey with a subtle sheen, and the design is exactly what the name says: no pattern, no border, just a clean single colour that sits quietly wherever you put it. The polyester is water resistant, which is the point of the whole range. It is built to shrug off a passing shower and the odd spilled drink rather than to be tucked indoors at the first sign of cloud.

Being water resistant, this cushion earns its place outdoors, on a garden bench, a patio chair, a rattan sofa or laid on decking as a floor cushion. The square 43 x 43cm size is the standard scale for a scatter cushion, so it pairs happily with others of the same size and slots into most seat backs without swamping them. The plain grey is the easy member of the range to work with. It settles the brighter colourways down, so if you like the pinks, limes and blues but want something to break them up, this is the one that does the calming. It works equally well on its own for a quieter, more restrained scheme.

The cover is finished with standard knife edging and a hidden zip closure, so the seams sit flat at the corners and the fastening stays out of sight. It is designed, printed and made in the UK. The polyester construction is what makes the water resistance possible, and it is the reason this cushion can live outside through the warmer months rather than being carried in and out. Group it with the vibrant shades from the same Wrap range for a mixed set, or keep to grey for something understated.

Can this cushion be left outside?

It is made from water resistant polyester and designed as an outdoor cushion, so it is built to withstand showers and spills. For longest life we would still bring it in over winter or during heavy, prolonged rain.

What size is this cushion?

It measures 43 x 43cm, the standard square scatter size, so it works on garden seating, benches and sofas and can also be used as a floor cushion on decking or a patio.

Is the cover removable?

The cushion has a hidden zip closure, which keeps the fastening out of sight and gives you access to the cover when you need it. The zip sits neatly along one edge.

What does the plain grey work with?

The plain grey is the quiet colourway in the Wrap range. It calms the brighter shades down and suits a more restrained outdoor scheme, so it mixes well with bolder cushions or stands on its own.

What is knife edging?

Knife edging is a simple flat seam at the corners rather than a piped or flanged edge, which gives the cushion clean, straight sides and a neat, uncomplicated finish.
