Price History
Description
Sink into the heavenly softness of this fleece scatter cushion. Designed in a classic square shape, it's styled with a ribbed pattern for extra texture. Our medium-size cushions are perfect for propping yourself up in comfort, while you relax on the sofa or your favourite accent chair. The cover is machine washable for easy care.
Our Stylist Says
I really like this ribbed fleece cushion for its cosy texture and versatile colour. The khaki tone makes it a great neutral choice that can easily be incorporated into a range of interior styles, from modern minimalist to more relaxed, earthy schemes. It works particularly well with natural materials like wood or linen, adding a tactile layer to soft furnishings. For styling tips, consider pairing it with both patterned and plain cushions to create visual interest, and layer it on sofas or armchairs to add comfort and a laid-back vibe. Its ribbed fleece finish also makes it perfect for colder months, providing a snug feel without sacrificing style.

About Marks & Spencer
History and Expansion
Marks and Spencer, often lovingly called "Marks and Sparks" or "M&S", has been a staple in the UK market since its founding in 1884. Over the years, the brand has seen tremendous growth, with 1,064 stores across the UK and an additional 406 locations worldwide as of 2023.
Historically, M&S was celebrated for its commitment to selling British-made goods, pioneering the "St Michael" brand in 1928 which honoured its co-founder Michael Marks.
As they grew, M&S maintained its reputation for quality, fair value, and innovative customer policies, even allowing returns with full cash refunds regardless of purchase date.
Clothing & Home Business Endeavours
In recent years, M&S has focused on modernising its Clothing & Home business, striving to offer contemporary, stylish products that resonate with their 22 million customers.
A noteworthy move was their acquisition of Jaeger in 2021, a brand that shares a founding year with M&S. Under M&S's umbrella, Jaeger remains an independent brand, renowned for its timeless elegance, and is now available on M&S's website and in select M&S stores across the UK and Ireland.
Sustainability and Innovations
Throughout its existence, Marks and Spencer has demonstrated commitment to improving customer experience and sustainability.
In the 1950s, they introduced hygiene training for canteen staff, and by the 1960s had implemented thermostatically controlled refrigerators for enhanced energy efficiency.
M&S has been at the forefront of many retail innovations, from introducing "sell by dates" in the early '70s to enhance food quality, to banning smoking in all their stores as early as 1959 due to fire hazards.
The brand's long standing dedication to quality, customer relations, and sustainability remains evident in their practices today.
