Seahorses Pillow 18x18 Water Resistant Polyester

Seahorses on an eighteen inch square pillow. A quiet coastal subject given enough room to be looked at properly.

Detail At The Larger Size

• Fine detail needs scale. Seahorse form is all curve and texture, and eighteen inches is where that detail resolves rather than compressing.
• Cool palette, stable dyes. Green and blue families resist light better than reds and yellows, which suits a pillow beside glass.
• Finished, not flat-packed. Cover and filling are one piece, so the pillow has its shape from the moment it comes out.

A Coastal Room

A sunroom sofa, a covered porch bench, or a bedroom chair in a house near water. The subject suits the setting rather than announcing it.

Eighteen inches settles into a corner and takes weight properly.

Looking After It

• Do treat marks in place with a damp cloth and a mild cleaner
• Do work from the outside of a mark inward
• Do air dry it
• Do shake it by hand every few weeks to restore the loft

• Skip the washing machine; the sham and insert are one piece
• Skip direct heat, which sets stains and stiffens fabric
• Skip leaving it out in heavy rain

Humidity And Salt

Coastal air is well within what water resistant polyester handles, and the fabric dries without holding a smell.

Salt is the thing that stiffens fabric over years, and an occasional fresh water rinse deals with it.

Worth knowing: air it after a humid week even if it feels dry. Fill holds moisture longer than fabric does, and airing prevents the musty smell before it starts.

Questions About The Seahorses Pillow

How many seahorses are shown?
The design uses more than one, which is what gives it its rhythm across the square rather than a single centered subject.

Is it suitable for a bathroom?
In a well ventilated one, yes. The fabric handles humidity, provided it is given the chance to dry out between uses.

Does the color match typical coastal decor?
It sits in the blue and green range that most coastal schemes are built around, rather than in a bright novelty palette.

Can the cover be removed?
No. Sham and fill form one unit with no opening, so spot treatment is the method.

Is the background plain or detailed?
Painted loosely rather than in detail, which is what keeps the seahorses themselves as the focus of the square.

Would it work in a nautical themed room?
It sits comfortably in one without being obvious about it, since the subject is a real animal rather than a rope and anchor motif.
