Description
The Softie Check cushion earns its name the moment you pick it up. The face is worked in a raised grid, a lattice of soft pink cording laid over cream panels, so the pattern is something you feel as much as see. It measures 40 x 60cm, an oblong lumbar shape rather than a square, which is the size that props you upright on a sofa or fills the gap at the head of a bed where a square would sit too low. The whole thing is made from 100% polyester, chosen here for its plush, springy hand and its willingness to hold a quilted texture without flattening.
An oblong cushion does a particular job. It sits along the back of a two or three seater sofa, at a reading chair for the small of your back, or across a made bed in front of the pillows. The two-tone pink and cream reads as gentle and warm rather than loud, so it settles happily against neutral upholstery, pale linens or natural wood. Grouped with plainer cushions it adds the texture, and left on its own it is enough on a bench or window seat. The reverse is a plain panel, giving you a calm side to turn outward when you want the room quieter.
The cover is quilted across the front, with the pink cording standing proud of the cream ground to make the grid, and it fastens with a zip so the cover comes off when you need it to. Polyester is hard-wearing and shrugs off everyday handling, which suits a cushion that gets leaned on and moved about. Run your hand over it and the plush pile is the first thing you notice. If you like this look, it is worth seeing the wider Softie range for other pieces in the same soft, quilted style.
