Aldi is selling a £6.99 cushion that closely resembles a pricier version available at Next, offering shoppers a budget-friendly way to add warmth to their homes this autumn.
The Kirkton House Faux Fur Cushion is part of the supermarket's latest Special Buy 'Home' range and is available in several colours, including anthracite, white, beige, brown, and grey. It measures 45cm by 45cm and is made from 100% polyester.
Aldi's description of the cushion
Aldi says: "Add a touch of warmth and texture to your space with this super-soft design. Perfect for creating a cosy and inviting feel in any room."
The cushion should be available in UK Aldi stores, but the supermarket warns it has experienced delays with a few products, so it may not be at local stores just yet. Customers can check the latest Special Buy delays on the Aldi website.
How it compares to Next's version
The Aldi cushion is similar in shape, size, and colour to the Catherine Lansfield Soft and Cosy Ribbed Cushion at Next, which costs £16. Both are 45cm by 45cm, made from 100% polyester, and machine washable.
The Aldi version has a faux-fur finish and a ribbed structure, while the Next alternative features a distinct ribbed texture with similar colour options.
What Next says about its cushion
Next's product description reads: "Catherine Lansfield is renowned for style and quality - designed and developed in Great Britain. Add a cosy modern look to your home decor with this cosy ribbed soft touch velvet cushion."
It adds: "Showcasing a chic ribbed design, adding texture and dimension to any space. The soft touch velvet material offers a luxurious and comfortable feel, making this cushion perfect for lounging and relaxing. The bold and vibrant colour options are perfect for making a statement and adding a pop of colour to any room."
Key differences
The main differences are pricing and availability. Aldi's cushion is part of its limited-run Special Buys range, making it a temporary find, while the Catherine Lansfield line at Next is consistently available and can be ordered online for home delivery.
Ultimately, shoppers can choose based on brand, design, and price, but opting for Aldi's version would save them more money.
