Halo Fringed Velvet Plain Polyester Cushion - Burgundy/Slipper

The Halo Fringed Velvet Cushion is a plain velvet square finished all the way round with a contrasting fringe. This one pairs a deep burgundy velvet face with a soft rose-pink fringe, the two tones set against each other so the trim reads clearly against the body rather than blending into it. It measures 50 x 50cm, the most useful size for a scatter cushion, big enough to hold its shape on a sofa without swamping a smaller seat. The face is a plush velvet with a short, dense pile that catches the light and shifts a little in tone as you move around it, which is why the same cushion can look richer or lighter depending on where it sits.

A cushion like this earns its place on a sofa or an armchair, and the fringe gives it more presence than a plain-edged cushion of the same size. The burgundy is a warm, saturated colour that works against neutral upholstery, natural wood and darker, cosier rooms, and the pink fringe softens it so it never feels heavy. Layer it with plainer cushions to let the fringe do the talking, or set it alongside other velvets to build up texture. On a bed it works as an accent at the front of a stack rather than as a sleeping pillow.

The cover is velvet with a fringed trim and a concealed zip closure, so the cover comes off for cleaning and the zip stays hidden along one edge. Velvet has a pile that responds to a gentle brush to keep it sitting evenly, and it holds colour well over time. The supplier gives no washing, drying or ironing instructions for this cover, so we have not listed care steps we cannot stand behind. Halo is offered in several tonal colour combinations across the range, so you can pick up more than one edge tone if you want them to mix and match.

What is the cover made of?

The cover is 100% polyester velvet with a contrasting fringed trim. Polyester velvet keeps its pile and colour well and stands up to everyday use on a sofa.

How big is this cushion?

It measures 50 x 50cm, a standard square scatter size that suits most sofas and armchairs and layers well with cushions of other shapes and sizes.

Does the cover come off?

Yes, there is a concealed zip along one edge, so the cover slides off the pad and the zip stays hidden when the cushion is in use.

How do I keep the velvet looking its best?

Velvet has a pile, so a light brush in one direction every so often keeps it sitting evenly and stops the surface from looking flattened where you lean on it.

Is a pad included?

The listing is for the cushion as sold by the supplier. Check the size at 50 x 50cm so any replacement pad you buy fills the cover properly and holds its shape.
