{"product_id":"meridian-plain-velvet-cushion-black-gold-55x55cm","title":"Meridian Plain Velvet Cushion - Black\/Gold","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the Meridian cushion in black, a plain velvet-feel cover with a single band of gold piping running the whole way round its edge. It measures 55 x 55cm, which is a larger-than-average square, so it fills a corner of a sofa properly rather than getting lost against the back cushions. The face and the reverse are the same soft black velvet-feel fabric, and the only decoration is that contrasting gold cord set into the seam, which is what gives the cushion its outline when it sits against a dark chair.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlack velvet with a warm gold edge suits a room that leans rich and low-lit: a deep sofa, a wing chair, the head of a bed. Because both sides match, you can turn it over without breaking the look, and the plain finish means it works as the quiet member of a group. Sit it beside a patterned cushion and it steadies the arrangement; line up two or three and the gold piping reads as a clean repeated line. The generous size also makes it a comfortable lumbar or nap cushion rather than a purely decorative one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cover is made from 100% polyester with a velvet feel, which is a hard-wearing fibre that holds its colour and resists everyday crushing better than many natural piles. The piped trim is a corded edge stitched into the seam, and there is a zip closure so the cover comes off the pad. Polyester is quick to dry and does not shrink readily, which makes a velvet-feel cushion like this one an easy thing to keep looking sharp. The Meridian range carries the same plain-with-contrast-piping idea across several colourways, so you can match or mix within it without hunting for coordinates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100% Polyester\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDesign\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlain velvet-feel front and reverse with contrasting gold piped edge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePiped trim, zip closure\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e55x55cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSold as\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle cushion\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the cushion pad included or is this the cover only?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cover has a zip closure so it can be removed, and it is supplied as a single cushion.
