Soft velvet polyester. Removable outer covers, machine washable cold. $100.00 the set - $25.00 a cushion.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReading corners need seating that survives being sat on by thirty children a week and washed when it needs it. These do that. What makes them worth choosing over plain cushions is the artwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe covers come off.\u003c\/strong\u003e That is the specification that matters in a classroom. Cold machine wash, put it back on, carry on. A cushion you cannot wash lasts one term.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e60cm is a proper floor cushion\u003c\/strong\u003e - a child sits on it cross-legged rather than perches. Four of them makes a corner.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe artists, and what we do not have\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe artworks are by Billyara and Charlie Wicking\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the supplier describes them as authentic Indigenous artworks. That is the whole reason to buy these rather than plain cushions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the supplier has not given us is the story.\u003c\/strong\u003e There is no note saying which artwork is by which artist, what Country they are from, or what any of the four designs represent. For a resource sold to be talked about in classrooms, that is the missing piece - a teacher cannot introduce artwork they have not been told anything about. \u003cstrong\u003eWe have asked for it.\u003c\/strong\u003e Ask us before you order and we will tell you what came back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe antimicrobial claim, stated as theirs\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe supplier says the fabric carries an antimicrobial treatment that \"can kill up to 99.9% of odour-causing bacteria\" and inhibit dust mites, mould and mildew, and that its effect reduces with washing. \u003cstrong\u003eThat is their claim, not ours.\u003c\/strong\u003e They have not named the treatment or given us any test data, and we have not verified it. Buy these for the artwork and the washable covers; treat the antimicrobial line as a bonus you should not count on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNo age rating is published.\u003c\/strong\u003e They are cushions, so the practical answer is any age that sits on the floor.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MTA Essentials","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53793288257899,"sku":"EVLIJ2068","price":100.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/2795\/8891\/files\/LIJ2068_1.jpg?v=1788365806","url":"https:\/\/megaofficesupplies.com.au\/products\/aboriginal-round-cushions-60cm-set-of-4-velvet-removable-covers","provider":"Mega Office Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
