Description
The Softie Check cushion carries a bold checkerboard face worked in two colours, deep green and warm amber-gold, set out in even squares across the front. Each square sits slightly proud of its neighbours because the face is quilted, which gives the whole surface a raised, tactile grid rather than a flat printed pattern. It is a square 50 by 50cm cushion made from 100% polyester, so the pile stays plush and holds its colour well. The reverse is plain green velvet-look fabric, the same tone as the darker squares on the front.
This is a cushion for the sofa or an armchair, and its two-tone check reads well against plain upholstery in charcoal, cream or oatmeal, where the pattern does the talking. Group two or three along the back of a settee, or set a single one on a reading chair to add a warm, textured note. The green-and-gold pairing suits a room already leaning towards earthy or autumnal tones, and the plain back means you can flip it for a quieter look when you want the pattern to rest.
Being 100% polyester, the fabric is hard-wearing and takes daily handling well, and it is the kind of soft, dense weave that resists crushing. There is a zip along one edge, so the cover comes off the pad when you need it to and goes back on without fuss. Polyester holds its shape and shrugs off the odd knock better than more delicate fibres, which makes this a sensible choice for a busy living room or a household with children about. If you like the look, it sits happily alongside plainer cushions in a matching green to build up a layered, comfortable arrangement.
