Rafael Sunbed Roller Cushion

A bolster does something a flat cushion cannot: it supports the neck at exactly one height, without needing to be repositioned. This one runs 90 cm long at Ø17 cm — the full width of the Rafael sunbed, so it does not slide sideways.

Five covers are offered across the Rafael fabric programme. Rubelli Outmap Laguna is a patterned polypropylene from the Venetian mill Rubelli; Rubelli Gris Sauge is a soft sage polyester; and Hydro polyester in White, Grey and Acqua provides the most technical, water-shedding option for poolside use.

All five are UV-stable and quick-drying. On a bolster this matters more than on a flat cushion — the round section holds water in a way a flat one does not, so the fill and the cover both need to shed it fast.

Paola Navone designed Rafael for Ethimo as a collection about generous, tactile outdoor living, and the roller cushion is one of the details that makes the sunbed genuinely comfortable rather than merely handsome.
