Description
The Spruce Stripes cushion is a rectangular 30 x 50cm cushion made from 100% cotton, woven as a slub so the surface carries the faint, irregular thickening in the yarn that gives cotton slub its texture. The face is a beige ground printed with rows of green fir trees set between narrow red and green stripes, and the whole panel is framed by a gathered ruffle in dark red. It is a lumbar shape rather than a square, which is what makes it sit long across a bed or along the back of a sofa.
This is a seasonal cushion, so it earns its place from late autumn through the Christmas period on a sofa, an armchair or the end of a bed. The tree-and-stripe print reads clearly from across a room, and the red ruffle picks up the red in the stripes, so it works alongside plain cream, deep green or natural linen-look textiles without competing with them. The long 30 x 50cm proportion is useful behind the small of your back on a deep sofa, where a square cushion tends to sit too high.
The reverse is plain beige and carries a zip closure, so the cover comes off for cleaning and goes back on without fuss. Being pure cotton, it takes a wash without the fabric stiffening, and the print is applied to the woven cloth rather than being a separate applied layer. The ruffle is a continuous gathered strip stitched around all four sides. The supplier notes a matching bedding set in the same Spruce Stripes design, so the cushion can be bought to coordinate with it if you are dressing a whole bed.

Frequently Asked
What is the cushion made from?
It is 100% cotton woven as a slub, which gives the face a slightly textured surface rather than a perfectly flat one. Cotton is breathable and takes a print well.
Does the cover come off?
Yes, there is a zip closure on the reverse, so you can take the cover off and put it back on for cleaning without any difficulty.
What shape and size is it?
It is a rectangular lumbar cushion measuring 30 x 50cm, longer than it is tall, which suits the back of a sofa or the end of a bed.
What does the design look like?
The beige face is printed with rows of green fir trees between narrow red and green stripes, and the whole panel is framed by a gathered dark red ruffle.
Can I match it with other pieces?
The supplier makes a matching bedding set in the same Spruce Stripes design, so you can coordinate the cushion with the wider look if you wish.
