Description

The Contra cushion is built around a contrast: one face is a soft velvet, the other a linen-look weave in a matching natural tone. It measures 40 x 60cm, an oblong rather than a square, so it fills the space a standard cushion leaves and reads as a bolster shape against a headboard or along the back of a sofa. Both faces are made from 100% polyester, which is what gives the velvet its softness and keeps the whole cushion resistant to shrinking through repeated use.

The two-faced design earns its keep by giving you a choice. Turn the velvet forward when you want a warmer, more tactile surface catching the light; turn the linen-look reverse forward when you want something quieter and more grounded to layer against textured throws or patterned cushions. It sits happily in a bedroom, on an armchair or across a sofa, and the neutral natural colour means it works with almost any scheme rather than dictating one. Because it is oblong, it pairs well in front of a row of square cushions to add depth without repeating a shape.

Construction is straightforward and practical: standard edging around the perimeter and a hidden zip closure, so the cover fastens cleanly with no visible fixings. The zip means the cover can be taken off the pad when you need to. Polyester is a forgiving fibre to live with day to day, holding its shape and its colour well. Style it plain and simple for a minimalist look, or build it into a layered arrangement where the velvet and linen-look faces do the contrasting for you.

Frequently Asked

What are the two sides of this cushion made from?

Both faces are 100% polyester. One side is a soft velvet and the other is a linen-look weave, giving you two different surfaces on a single cushion.

Can I take the cover off the pad?

Yes. The cover has a hidden zip closure, so you can unfasten it and remove it from the inner pad whenever you need to.

What size is this cushion?

It measures 40 x 60cm, an oblong shape rather than a square, which makes it a good fit as a bolster-style cushion against a headboard or sofa back.

Which way round should I display it?

Either way. Show the velvet face for a warmer, more tactile look, or turn the linen-look reverse forward for a quieter surface to layer against other cushions.

Does polyester hold its shape well?

Polyester is a resilient fibre that keeps its shape and colour through everyday use, and the supplier notes this cushion is shrink resistant.
