16x16" Cushion Pad with Cotton Zip Cover — Small Size, Properly Washable
The 16" cotton zip-cover pad is the smallest machine-washable option in the range, and often the hardest to find at this size from other suppliers. The construction is straightforward: a 100% cotton zip cover that unzips and removes for machine washing, over a bounce-back hollowfibre inner that air dries flat. At 16 inches, the inner pad is manageable to handle for drying — easier than larger sizes — and the cotton outer at this dimension launders and dries quickly.
For craft businesses making handmade cushion covers who want to offer a washable inner pad as part of a gift set or retail product; for care and healthcare settings where 16" scatter cushions need to be maintained to a cleaning schedule; for family homes where smaller accent cushions get dirty regularly — this is the correct option in the range at this size.
The cotton outer provides a clean, neutral, flat surface that works well under fine, printed or embroidered covers where a non-woven Corovin outer might create slight texture interference. For craft buyers, that's a meaningful practical difference.
For the non-washable 16" insert, see the standard 16x16" hollowfibre pad.

Why Buy
The 16" machine-washable pad is the niche in this range that most suppliers don't bother with. We make it in Bolton because the demand is there — particularly from craft businesses and care buyers. The cotton outer is a proper zip cover, not just a wrapped casing. The fill bounces back after washing.
FAQs
Is this suitable for use under embroidered or printed cushion covers?
Yes — the cotton outer provides a flat, even surface under fine covers. A Corovin outer can create very slight texture interference under very fine fabrics; cotton doesn't.
Can I add extra fill through the zip?
Yes — the zip provides access to the inner pad if you want to add additional hollowfibre fill.
Is the cotton outer pre-washed?
Check the care label. Washing at 40°C on first wash is advisable to pre-shrink the cotton before the cover is used with a cushion insert inside.
What's the difference vs the standard 16x16" Corovin pad?
The standard 16x16" pad uses Virgin Conjugated Hollowfibre with a Corovin outer — not machine washable, better long-term shape retention under compression. The cotton zip-cover version is machine washable but uses bounce-back hollowfibre. If washability isn't required, the standard 16x16" pad is the more durable option.
