Description
The Truro Stripe cushion carries a narrow yarn-dyed stripe in soft blue against a white ground, woven into a cotton fabric with a slub-textured surface. Yarn-dyed means the threads are coloured before weaving rather than printed afterwards, so the stripe runs true through the cloth and holds its clarity through use and washing. It is made entirely from cotton and measures 45 x 45cm, the standard square size that fits the widest range of ready-made cushion pads.
This is an easy cushion to place. The muted blue and white stripe reads as relaxed and coastal, and it sits comfortably on a sofa, a bed, a window seat or a bench, working as well in a busy living room as in a calmer bedroom. Because the stripe is fine rather than bold, it layers happily with plain neutrals and with other soft, understated patterns without competing for attention. Group a few together for a settled, unfussy look, or use a single one to lift a plain seat.
The cushion is reversible, with the same striped design on both sides, so there is no right or wrong face to show and you can turn it to even out wear. It is finished with a standard knife edge and closes with a hidden zip, which keeps the seam clean and lets you take the cover off. Cotton is a breathable, hard-wearing natural fibre that takes a wash well and softens over time. The stripe is offered in a range of natural, earthy tones alongside this Skyline blue, so you can mix shades across a room from the same design.

Frequently Asked
Is the cushion the same on both sides?
Yes, it is reversible with the same yarn-dyed stripe on both faces, so you can turn it over to even out wear or simply change which side shows.
Does it come with a cushion pad or just the cover?
The record does not state whether an inner pad is included. The zip lets you insert or remove a pad, so a 45 x 45cm insert will fit if you need one.
What does yarn-dyed mean for the stripe?
The threads are dyed before the fabric is woven rather than printed afterwards, so the colour runs right through the cloth and the stripe stays crisp with use.
What size pad should I buy for it?
The cover measures 45 x 45cm, so a standard 45cm square pad suits it well. A slightly larger insert gives a fuller, plumper finish if you prefer.
Will the stripe suit a coastal or neutral scheme?
The soft blue and white stripe is relaxed and understated, layering easily with plain neutrals and other calm patterns in a coastal or pared-back room.
