Description
The Tiger Dream cushion is a 50x50cm square made from 100% polyester, and it is genuinely two cushions in one. The front carries a striding tiger in orange and deep red, set among coral-toned branches, pale blue fronds and scattered stars on a cream ground. Flip it over and the reverse is calmer: a repeat of budding pink branches on an olive green field. Both faces are framed by a hand-painted olive and white striped border, so whichever side faces out reads as finished rather than plain.
This is built as an outdoor cushion, so its natural home is a garden bench, a rattan sofa or a set of chairs on a patio, though there is nothing to stop it living indoors on a reading chair or the end of a bed. Because it is reversible, one cushion covers two moods: the bold tiger face when you want the print to lead, the quieter botanical reverse when you want green and pink to sit back. It works well with plain linens, terracotta pots and the sort of relaxed, planted setting the print already nods to.
The fabric is polyester, which is why it copes outdoors: it is described as water resistant, sheds light rain and dries quickly rather than holding damp the way a natural fibre would. A zip closure runs along one edge, so the cover comes off easily for cleaning and the pad can be stored away out of season. The striped border is the Oxford style, a flat printed edge that sits proud of the seam. If you like the tiger, the botanical reverse gives you a second look from the same purchase.

Frequently Asked
Can I use this cushion outdoors?
Yes. It is made as an outdoor cushion from water-resistant polyester, so it copes with light rain and damp air on a patio or garden seat.
Is the cushion really reversible?
It is. One side shows the tiger among exotic flora and the other a budding botanical branch print, so you get two looks from a single cushion.
How big is it?
It is a 50x50cm square, a common size that pairs neatly with other 50cm cushions along a sofa, bench or outdoor sofa.
Does the cover come off for cleaning?
Yes, there is a zip closure along one edge, so you can remove the cover for cleaning and take the pad out for storage out of season.
What is the fabric like?
It is 100% polyester, which dries quickly and holds printed colour well, so the bright oranges, pinks and greens stay vivid in daylight.
What is the border on the edge?
It has a striped Oxford border in olive green and white, a flat printed edge that frames whichever side you have facing outward.
