Description
The Heal's 59 Cushion combines luxurious velvet on velvet design with a nod to Heal's rich heritage. Made from 100% cotton velvet, this cushion features a feather-filled inner and a linen-cotton blend backing for ultimate comfort. Available in red and cream or ochre and navy, the intricate pattern is inspired by a poster from Heal's archive, subtly incorporating the iconic Heal's H. Handcrafted in India, this cushion brings timeless elegance and a touch of history to your home decor.
Our Stylist Says
I love this cushion for its bold, graphic design and lively colour combination, making it a versatile piece to elevate both contemporary and eclectic interiors. It works particularly well in neutral schemes to add a pop of colour, or in more vibrant spaces to complement other warm tones. Practical styling tips include mixing it with textured textiles like knits or woven throws for added depth, or layering it on a sofa with other patterned cushions for a curated, relaxed look. Its standard size also makes it easy to incorporate across different seating options, from sofa corners to armchairs, without overwhelming the space.

About Heal's
A Rich Legacy in Furniture Design
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
Influences and Design Philosophy
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
Modern Expansion and Growth
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
