Summer Solstice Reversible Polyester Cushion - Summer

The Summer Solstice cushion is a 50x50cm square with two very different faces, and you choose which one shows. One side is a busy summer garden print built around a single beaming sun, ringed by trailing foliage, poppies, strawberries and little tied bows in pink, orange, red, blue and purple on a soft cream ground. Flip it over and you get a calmer face of wavy yellow wiggle stripes on the same cream, dotted with fine stitch-style lines. Both sides are finished with a soft ruffle trim in the same golden-yellow tone, so whichever way you turn it, the frill stays.

This is an outdoor cushion, so it earns its place on garden chairs, a bench by the back door, or a picnic blanket on the lawn. The water-resistant fabric means a passing shower will not soak straight through, which is what makes it sensible to leave out through a changeable British summer rather than ferrying cushions in and out. Indoors it works just as happily on a sofa or a reading chair, and because it reverses you can lean into the floral for high summer and turn to the quieter stripe when you want less going on. It sits comfortably alongside plainer cushions that pick up one of the many colours in the print.

The cover is 100% polyester, chosen here for durability and its water-resistant behaviour outdoors, and a zip closure runs along one edge so you can slip the cover off for cleaning or storage over winter. The ruffle trim frames both prints and gives the square a softer edge than a plain piped cushion. If you like the shape but want a different mood, the wiggle-stripe reverse comes in other colourways in the same range, so a set can share a look while each cushion keeps its own face.

Can I leave this cushion outside?

It is made from a durable, water-resistant polyester intended for outdoor use, so it handles a passing shower, though bringing it in during heavy or prolonged rain will help it last.

Is it really reversible?

Yes. One face carries the sun and floral print, the other a wavy wiggle stripe, and both are finished with the same ruffle trim so either side can face out.

How do I clean it?

The cover has a zip closure along one edge, so you can remove it from the pad for cleaning and put it back on afterwards without any fuss.

What size is the cushion?

It measures 50x50cm, a standard square that suits most sofas, garden chairs and benches, and pairs easily with other cushions of the same size.

What is the ruffle for?

The ruffle trim runs around all four edges and gives the cushion a softer, frilled outline rather than a plain flat seam, framing whichever print you have facing out.
