M&S's £30 Christmas patchwork cushion is the must-have home buy this season – plus 8 stylish options to shop now
Dress up your home this festive season.
Christmas decorating doesn't have to mean a complete home makeover. A few small swaps can instantly add festive flair, and Christmas cushions are one of the easiest ways to give your sofa, bed or armchair a seasonal refresh.
From classic tartan and festive motifs to playful designs and elegant patchwork, there's a style for every home. Better still, cushions can be brought out year after year, making them an easy way to update your Christmas décor without spending a fortune.
Whether you love going all-out at Christmas or prefer a more understated look, we've rounded up our favourite festive cushions to shop now.
M&S Christmas Geometric Patchwork Cushion
With its playful geometric patchwork and festive motifs, this M&S cushion brings Christmas cheer without leaning on the usual novelty characters. The green mix feels easy to work into a seasonal scheme, while contrasting textures and stitching give the pure cotton cover extra visual interest. At £30, it’s a charming sofa or armchair accent for a cosy, pulled-together festive look.
Habitat Habitat Apres Mohair Cushion - Navy - 43x43cm
For a softer, less novelty-led Christmas look, Habitat’s Après cushion brings cosy chalet style with its plush, mohair-like acrylic cover. The 43cm square shape layers neatly with festive designs, and the removable cover is machine washable. It’s just £12, too. One caveat from customer reviews: although it’s listed as navy, some buyers say it looks dark green in real life.
Westwing Collection Bombom Christmas Cushion
All-out festive fun, this Westwing Bombom cushion packs Christmas cheer into a compact, eye-catching shape. Its saturated red and green palette makes it an instant focal point. It’s a playful choice for adding personality to seasonal styling. The insert is included; but the cover isn’t removable, so bear that in mind if you spill anything on it!
Habitat Habitat Long Stripe Ruffle Cushion
For subtle festive colour without a novelty print, Habitat’s long cushion brings a cheerful ruby-red stripe and soft ruffled edges to the sofa or bed. Its a generous, elongated shape that adds interest on its own or layers neatly with plain cushions. The cotton cover is removable and machine washable, while the recycled-polyester filling keeps it practical for relaxed everyday lounging.
An oversized sweet for the sofa, this adorable bolster turns a classic red-and-white stripe into a playful Christmas accent. Its candy-wrapper shape, with twisted ends, brings a nostalgic, almost storybook feel, while the velvet finish gives the bold pattern a softer look. At 60cm long, it’s a cheerful statement piece that stands out beautifully among simpler cushions in any room.
Argos Home Christmas Icons Cushion Natural - 50x35cm
Like a festive storybook in cushion form, this playful design is covered in colourful embroidered Christmas favourites, from gingerbread people and stockings to holly wreaths and snowflakes. The natural background keeps the busy motif feeling homely, while the 50x35cm shape makes it an easy fit on a sofa or chair.
ASDA Burgundy Christmas Harlequin Embroidered Cushion
This is a favourite of ours because we love the classic harlequin diamonds pattern which get a festive update in rich burgundy. The embroidered detailing adds charm and the ruffled edge gives the cushion a dressed-up finish. Its 35 x 45cm shape is easy to layer on a sofa or bed, while the deep colour brings warmth and character to a traditional Christmas scheme.
Such a cute Christmas cushion! The red-and-pink stripes and bows would look so pretty on a teenager’s bed, adding a festive pop of colour without making the room feel overdone.
If money is no object (we're jealous), then why not add some luxe to your living room with this beautiful snowy scene from Dior? The colourful Dior d’Hiver design runs across both sides, with saddle-stitch edging and an embroidered logo. At £900, it’s a serious splurge, but the alpine scene makes a statement on a plain sofa all winter long.
