Description
The Empress cushion has a deep ruby-red face of long, soft faux fur pile, broken into vertical channels that run the length of the cover. Look closely at the photographs and you can see the fibres catch the light differently along each channel, which is what gives the front its shifting, plush look. It comes in two square sizes, 45 x 45cm and 55 x 55cm, so you can pick the scale that suits your seat.
This is a cushion for the sofa, the armchair or the bed, and it does its best work where you want warmth and depth rather than a printed pattern. The ruby tone is rich and reads as a jewel colour, so it sits happily against greys, deep blues and neutral upholstery, as the styling photograph shows it doing on a pale button-back seat. Because the interest here is texture rather than print, one on its own makes a point, and a pair reads as considered. It suits a cosier, layered room and works through the colder months when you want something soft to lean into.
The cover is made from 100% polyester, worked into a faux fur pile on the face, and it closes with a hidden zip so you can take the cover off. Polyester of this kind is hard-wearing and resists staining, which makes it a sensible choice for a seat that gets daily use. Wash the cover separately from other items to protect the pile. The Empress is part of a wider range of faux fur cushions offered across several natural and jewel-toned colours, so you can carry the same texture through a room in more than one shade.

Frequently Asked
Is this a real fur cushion?
No, it is a faux fur cushion made entirely from 100% polyester, so there is no animal fur involved in the pile at all.
Does it come with a cushion pad or just the cover?
The record describes this as a cushion cover with a hidden zip closure, so it is designed to slip over your own pad or filling.
What sizes can I choose from?
There are two square options, a 45 x 45cm and a larger 55 x 55cm, letting you match the cushion to the depth of your seat.
How should I clean the faux fur cover?
The supplier advises washing it separately from other items, which helps protect the long pile and keeps the ruby colour looking its best.
What colour is the cushion in real life?
It is a deep ruby red, a rich jewel tone that pairs well with grey, navy and neutral furniture rather than a pale pastel.
Will the vertical channels show on both sides?
The photographs show the channelled faux fur pile on the face; the record does not detail the reverse, so we describe only what is visible.
