Meridian Plain Velvet Cushion 45 x 45cm - Teal/Tiger

Choose the cover only, or the cover with a fibre or feather inner.

This is a plain velvet cushion from the Meridian range, in a deep teal blue with a contrasting piped edge in bright tiger orange. The face and reverse are both a smooth, single-colour velvet-feel fabric, so it reads the same whichever way it lands on a sofa. At 45 x 45cm it sits at the larger end of the square cushion, which is the size worth reaching for when you want a cushion to fill the back corner of a settee rather than perch on it.

A cushion like this earns its place in a living room, where the square format stacks neatly against the arm of a sofa or an armchair and the plain velvet gives your eye somewhere to rest between busier patterned pieces. The teal body is a settled, cool colour that sits happily with grey, navy and natural wood, while the orange piping picks out warmer accents already in the room. It also works well on a bedroom bench or the head of a bed, where a pair reads as a considered finish rather than clutter.

The cover is made from 100% polyester, which is why it holds its colour well and shrugs off the everyday knocks a cushion takes without needing much fuss. It has a piped trim running the full edge and a zip closure, so the cover comes off when you need it to. The piping is what makes the Meridian range hang together: each cover carries a plain front and reverse with a contrasting piped edge, so cushions from across the range coordinate without matching exactly. Buy two or three in different bodies with complementary pipings and they read as a set.

Is the cushion the same colour on both sides?

Yes, the plain teal velvet-feel fabric runs across both the front and the reverse, so the cushion looks the same whichever face is showing.

What does the piping look like?

A contrasting cord in tiger orange runs the full way round the edge, framing the teal body and picking out warmer tones elsewhere in a room.

How big is this cushion?

It measures 45 x 45cm, which is a larger than average square, generous enough to fill the corner of a sofa rather than sit small against it.

What is the cover made of?

The cover is 100% polyester with a soft velvet feel, which holds its colour well and stands up to the everyday handling a cushion gets.

Does the cover come off?

Yes, there is a zip closure along one edge, so the cover can be removed from the pad when you need to.

Will it match other cushions in the range?

The Meridian range shares a plain body with contrasting piping, so different colourways sit together as a coordinated set without being identical.
