Psychedelic Jungle Reversible Polyester Cushion - Green

This is an outdoor cushion built around a dense tropical leaf print, worked in deep greens and cooler blue-greens against a near-black ground. Look closely and you can pick out fern fronds, broad monstera-style leaves and slim palm blades layered over one another, with a scatter of paler, almost lime highlights catching the eye near the centre. It measures 43 x 43cm, the standard square size that fits the widest range of ready-made cushion pads, and the cover is made from 100% polyester throughout.

Because it is designed for outdoor use, this cushion earns its place on garden furniture, a patio bench or a rattan chair rather than only indoors. The photograph shows it doing exactly that, propped against a throw on a garden chair, and the dark botanical print sits comfortably alongside real foliage and natural timber. That said, there is no rule keeping it outside: the same print reads well on a sofa or a reading chair in a living room, so you can move it in and out with the seasons. It pairs easily with plain greens, warm neutrals and black metal frames.

The cover is fully reversible, so the same tropical print runs across both faces and you can flip it when one side has caught the sun or a spill. It is finished with a standard knife edge, the simple flat-seamed border that keeps the shape crisp, and closes on a hidden zip so the cover comes off cleanly. Polyester is the practical choice here: it holds colour well in bright light and does not absorb water the way natural fibres do, which is why it suits a spot where the odd shower is likely. If you like a layered look, gather two or three together on a bench for depth.

Can this cushion stay outside?

It is made as an outdoor cushion from water resistant polyester, so it is designed to cope with the odd shower and spill on a patio or garden bench.

What size cushion pad do I need?

The cover measures 43 x 43cm, the standard square size, so a 43cm or 45cm pad will fill it out nicely for a plump, well-shaped finish.

Is the same print on both sides?

Yes, the cover is fully reversible, so the tropical leaf print runs across both faces and you can simply flip it whenever you fancy a change.

How does the cover come off?

There is a hidden zip closure along one edge, which keeps the seam tidy and lets you take the cover off the pad cleanly when you need to.

What is the cover made from?

It is 100% polyester, a hard-wearing synthetic that holds its colour well in bright light and does not soak up water the way natural fibres tend to.

Will the green print fade in strong sun?

Polyester is chosen for outdoor use partly because it holds colour well, so the deep greens should stay vivid through a normal season outdoors.
