Slub Cotton Plain Linen Cushion - Linen

This is a plain cushion made from 100% slub cotton, woven so that the yarn carries slight variations in thickness along its length. That is what gives the surface its gently textured, matt look rather than a flat, uniform face. The cloth here reads as a soft, warm cream with a faint pinkish undertone, and the close-up shows the weave clearly: a natural, earthy character that sits somewhere between smooth and rustic. It is finished with an oxford border, the flat framed edge you can see running around the front, and it closes with a zip.

It is a square cushion built for layering. Slub cotton pairs happily with heavier weaves, so it works stacked against a chunkier throw or set beside cushions in deeper tones without fighting them. The neutral cream ground means it does not commit the room to a colour scheme, which is useful on a sofa, an armchair or a bed where you want to add texture rather than a bold accent. Group two or three together, or let a single one soften a hard-backed chair.

Cotton is a breathable, hard-wearing natural fibre that takes a wash well and only tends to soften with use, so a cushion like this is meant to be lived with rather than kept for show. The oxford border gives the front a clean, defined frame, and the zip means the cover comes off when you need it to. It is offered in more than one size, so you can mix a larger cushion at the back with a smaller one in front, and the plain cream face is easy to combine with pattern or with the other natural tones this design comes in.

What is slub cotton and why does the surface look uneven?

Slub cotton is woven from yarn spun with deliberate variations in thickness, which gives the cloth its softly textured, matt face rather than a completely flat, even finish.

Does the cover come off for cleaning?

Yes, there is a zip closure along one edge, so you can take the cover off the pad rather than having to clean the whole cushion as one piece.

What colour is this one?

This cushion is a soft, warm cream with a faint pinkish undertone, a neutral shade that sits easily alongside both pale and darker furnishings.

What is the oxford border?

It is the flat, framed edge that runs around the front of the cushion, a border of fabric outside the main filled panel that gives the face a clean, defined outline.

Will it work with other cushions and throws?

Yes, its plain cream face and slub texture are made for layering, sitting comfortably against heavier weaves, patterns and deeper natural tones without competing with them.

Is more than one size available?

Yes, this design comes in more than one size, which lets you build up a layered arrangement with a larger cushion behind and a smaller one in front.
