A high back cushion for an outdoor chair, cut at 45.5 in long by 22 in wide and 4.5 in thick, which is enough loft to sit on a hard slatted seat all afternoon without feeling the frame through it. The fill is a superior sponge, soft under weight but with enough body to hold its shape rather than compressing flat, and the cover is a woven suede bedford cord that stays smooth against skin and bare legs. A three-fold design runs across the pad, so the same cushion bends to fit a straight-backed chair, a reclining seat, or a bench without bunching at the hinge points. That flexibility is the reason one cushion suits several pieces of furniture rather than only the chair it was bought for. String ties hold it in place; they are made from a heavy grade that does not snap after a season of being knotted and unknotted, and they stop the pad sliding forward every time someone shifts their weight. Two construction details keep the filling where it belongs: careful sewing and stitching along every seam prevents the cotton from leaking out at the edges, and a circle rack construction anchors the interior so it cannot migrate into one corner and leave a thin patch elsewhere. The cushion suits indoor and outdoor use alike and is built for long-time service. In blue, it weighs 4 lbs.
