Description
The Softie is a quilted cushion built around a raised grid. Sand-coloured squares sit proud of a chocolate lattice, so the front reads as much by touch as by sight: a soft, padded check you can run your hand across. It measures 40 by 60cm, the classic bolster proportion that sits longer than it is tall, and it is made from 100% polyester through and through. The reverse is a plain chocolate, giving you two different faces from a single cushion.
A 40 by 60cm rectangle is the cushion you reach for when a row of squares looks too uniform. It props well against the arm of a sofa, sits comfortably at the small of your back in an armchair, or lies across the head of a bed as the front rank in a layered arrangement. The two-tone brown palette is easy to place against cream, oatmeal and warmer neutral upholstery, and the plush surface adds a note of texture where a flat-woven cushion would recede. Turn it to the plain side when you want the check to rest.
Polyester is the reason this one feels the way it does. The fibre takes a deep, soft pile and holds the quilted relief without flattening, and it is hard-wearing and quick to recover its shape after a good squash. The cover fastens with a zip, so it comes off for cleaning and goes back on cleanly. Follow the care label on the cover, and turn and plump the cushion now and again to keep the grid standing tall. It is a straightforward way to bring a bit of worked texture to a room that has gone slightly flat.

Frequently Asked
Is the cover removable for cleaning?
Yes, the cover fastens with a zip so it lifts off the pad easily, and you should follow the care instructions printed on the cover label.
What colour is the plain reverse?
The back is a solid chocolate brown in the same plush fabric, so you can flip the cushion when you want the grid check hidden.
What size is this cushion?
It is a 40 by 60cm rectangle, the longer bolster shape that works well propped against a sofa arm or laid at the head of a bed.
What is it made from?
It is 100% polyester, a hard-wearing fibre that holds a deep, soft pile and springs back into shape after being sat against or squashed.
Does the quilted texture flatten over time?
The raised grid is held by the quilting, and turning and plumping the cushion from time to time helps keep the squares standing proud.
