Plain Printed Polyester Cushion - Olive

This is a plain olive-green outdoor cushion from the Wrap range, made from 100% polyester and measuring 43 x 43cm. It has no pattern to speak of: the appeal is the single flat colour and a soft, slightly brushed surface that reads as a warm, muted green. At 43cm square it is the standard scatter-cushion size, which means it works with the covers and inners you probably already own and sits comfortably against most seat backs without swamping them.

Because it is built for outdoor use, this cushion is happiest on garden furniture, a bench, a set of rattan chairs or a wooden decking seat, where a fabric cushion would struggle. The olive is an easy colour to place: it sits well beside natural timber, terracotta pots and planting, and it holds its own next to the brighter colourways in the same range if you want to mix a few tones together. Indoors it would work just as readily on a window seat or a reading chair. Use it where you want a plain block of colour rather than a print doing the talking.

The cover is finished with a standard knife edge and a hidden zip, so the closure stays out of sight and the cushion keeps a clean, simple outline. The polyester is water resistant, which the supplier tells us is what lets it shrug off showers and spills outdoors, though we would still bring it in for winter storage. Polyester itself is a hard-wearing, quick-to-dry fibre that does not hold moisture the way natural fabrics do, which is exactly why it suits a garden setting. It is one of several plain colours in the Wrap range, so you can build a matching or contrasting group across a bench or a corner sofa.

Can this cushion be left outside in the rain?
