Union Jack Jacquard Cotton Cushion - Multi

This is a Union Jack cushion woven in pure cotton jacquard, with the flag rendered directly into the cloth rather than printed on top. The photograph shows the reason to buy it: deep navy, a strong red cross and warm cream diagonals, all built from the weave itself, so the colour runs through the fabric and the design has real depth to it. It is an oblong cushion, wider than it is tall, and it comes in two sizes, a smaller 46 x 32cm and a larger 65 x 45cm, so you can pick the proportion that suits the seat or the bed you have in mind.

An oblong flag cushion sits well along the back of a sofa or a bench, where a square would look stranded, and the landscape shape lets the whole flag read at a glance. It works as the single patriotic note in an otherwise plain room, or grouped with quieter cushions in navy, cream or plain red that pick up the colours in the weave. The larger size holds its own on a double bed or a window seat; the smaller one is easy to tuck into an armchair. It suits a traditional, characterful room and earns its place around royal occasions and sporting summers alike.

The face is cotton jacquard, a construction where the pattern is woven in on the loom rather than applied, which is what gives the flag its crisp edges and slight surface texture. As the photographs show, the reverse is a plain contrasting panel and the cushion closes with a zip, so the cover can be taken off. Being cotton, it is a breathable, hard-wearing natural fibre that takes a woven design cleanly and stands up to everyday use. Set it against neutral upholstery to let the colours carry the room.

What is the cushion made of?

The cover is 100% cotton, a breathable natural fibre, with the Union Jack design woven in as a jacquard rather than printed onto the surface.

What does jacquard mean here?

Jacquard means the pattern is woven into the cloth on the loom, so the flag has crisp edges, a little surface texture and colour that runs right through the fabric.

Which size should I choose?

There are two oblong sizes, 46 x 32cm and 65 x 45cm. The smaller suits an armchair, while the larger reads well on a sofa, bench or double bed.

Can I take the cover off?

Yes, the cushion has a zip fastening as shown in the photographs, so the cover can be removed from the pad when you need to.

What is on the back of the cushion?

The reverse is a plain contrasting panel rather than a repeat of the flag, so the cushion can be turned for a quieter look when you prefer one.

How should I style it?

It works as a single patriotic accent against plain upholstery, or grouped with calmer cushions in navy, cream or red that echo the woven colours.
