A great set of four outdoor cushions. These large outdoor cushions feature detailed photographic images from nature. The cushions are made from polyester which is water repellent and fade resistant. Each cushion measures 100cm wide x 100cm deep, and includes a removable cover. These large pillows can be used both indoors and outside and are perfect for creating comfortable play spaces and reading areas. They are excellent for any early childhood or school classroom and are suitable for use in school libraries and open style classrooms. The contents of this kit may vary, for more up to date kit contents information please see the kit components tab below. The durable foam fill is made from anti-microbial foam and is thickly padded. We recommend to wash these cushion covers by hand, and not machine wash.

Creating inviting environments is important for any classroom space. Using a variety of textures, fabrics, colours and materials helps to create an environment that is visually appealing and engaging, but also calming and restful. The learning environment should be comfortable and welcoming for children, parents and educators. Young children respond differently, based on the design, the types of resources, and the materials used in each space. An effectively designed classroom has the potential to positively influence all areas of a child’s development, including physical, social, emotional and cognitive. These cushions are also a great way to help support social distancing and physical distancing in the classroom.

Cushions are a wonderfully versatile seating option suitable for use in both early childhood settings or school environments for a range of learning modes. Use on their own or combine with low tables to create learning settings where students can work independently, in pairs or groups. These large and comfortable cushions also make great spaces where students can participate in group work to collaborate, discuss or even present their learning. Arranged on the floor or propped up against the wall, they are the perfect size to melt into to read a good book or engage in quiet literacy exploration. Cushions and other soft furnishings are also a great informal way to break up learning spaces or providing students with quiet and relaxing learning areas away from the hustle and bustle of activity- both indoors and beyond.

The polyester used in this cushion cover has been tested to the OEKO-TEX Standard 100 Appendix 6 requirements. This ensures that the raw polyester is free from harmful chemicals such as AZO colourants, nickel and lead. This rigorous testing system takes into account numerous regulated and non-regulated substances, which may be harmful to human health. In many cases the limit values for the STANDARD 100 go beyond national and international requirements.

These comfy outdoor cushions are also the perfect choice for the innovative learning environments (IPL) of modern schooling or flexible learning spaces- providing ever changing seating options to accommodate the size and needs of the class. Simply move the cushions around the learning space to be used on their own, combine with low tables or other seating, or simply mix and match with other soft furnishings to make informal learning settings- ideal for experiential, feedback and reflection as well as guided learning modes. The options for large cushions are wonderfully open ended!
