Interior designer Kelly Hoppen has introduced 'anti-chop' cushions as part of her homeware collection with M&S, directly countering the popular trend of chopping pillows. The designer has been vocal about her dislike for the practice, sharing her views on TikTok and in a radio interview.
A stand against the chopped pillow trend
In a TikTok video, Hoppen listed her biggest interior pet peeves, stating that cushions should 'never' be chopped but should always be straight when propped on a sofa. She later confirmed in a radio interview that she has "made cushions that can't be chopped" for her M&S range.
The result is the M&S X Kelly Hoppen Pure Cotton Double Stripe Cushion, priced at £25. Available in Navy Mix or Taupe Mix, the cushion features a bold double stripe design. The M&S website describes it as adding "a strong graphic accent to your living space or bedroom," with a smooth finish that brings soft texture and a clean, contemporary look.
Shopper reviews and alternatives
The cushion has received glowing reviews from shoppers. One said: "Stylist classy cushions. Excellent value for money. Hope Kelly Hoppen designs more for M&S." Another added: "I bought two cushions to compliment the Kelly Hoppen bedspread. They are lovely and well made."
Other options in the range include the Pure Cotton Jacquard Large Decorative Cushion, crafted from soft cotton with an all-over jacquard design for a textured finish, and the Pure Cotton Double Stripe Bolster Cushion, which offers a smooth surface with depth and a soft sheen.
For those seeking similar styles elsewhere, Dunelm offers the Striped Edge Cotton Square Cushion at £16, featuring contrast striped edging, a secure zip fastening, and polyester filling. It is machine washable. Argos stocks the Habitat Leaf Jacquard Cushion Green for £14, with a bold foliage print on cotton jacquard and a contrasting raw fringe.
