Espresso is rich, smooth, deeply comforting, and quietly addictive. One side wraps you in a solid, deep brown, like that bold, grounding first sip of coffee in the morning. It's warm, cosy and substantial. Flip it over and the same rich tone becomes a refined creamy pinstripe. Still warm, but now a more sophisticated crema.
Both sides hit the spot, just like the best espresso.
Product details
Linen Bedhead Cover
100% Oeko-Tex certified European linen. Premium stonewashed finish, buttery soft from day one.
Cushion Insert
Soft enough to sink into, supportive enough to lean back on for hours. A premium 100% cotton shell wraps a microfibre fill that stays plush through napping, reading, or a slow morning in bed. Piped edging keeps every cushion in its sculpted, tailored shape. Hypoallergenic and vegan.

How to style Espresso
I styled Espresso with a minimalist line drawing and a simple glass vase holding dried Corokia branches, which bring organic texture and sculptural interest. Just beside it, a small candle to add that intimate, sensory layer. The Haigh's are a given. Espresso and chocolate belong together.
Created by someone who uses one every day
I wanted my bedroom to feel styled and intentional, without the morning pillow ritual that felt like too much effort every single day.
So I created the Arlem Bedhead Cushion. As beautiful as it is comfortable, and so easy to style! The idea came to me on a holiday in Queensland, and the day I got home I taught myself to sew, pouring my love of fabrics into every cushion. The first few hundred were hand sewn on my kitchen table in Adelaide, where I obsessed over every detail, shaping them soft enough to sink into yet structured enough to lean back against.
Today I still design every Bedhead Cushion, and use one on my own bed every day.
Whether you have been here from the beginning or have only just arrived, I am so happy you found Arlem.
