Meridian Plain Velvet Cushion - Blush/Gold

This is the Meridian cushion in blush pink, a generously sized 45 x 45cm square with a plain velvet-feel face and a contrasting piped edge in gold running right around the border. Both the front and the reverse are the same soft blush, so there is no wrong way to plump it or set it down. The fabric is 100% polyester worked to a velvet feel, which gives you the deep, light-catching surface of velvet with the practicality of a hard-wearing synthetic that holds its colour and springs back after a squash.

At 45cm it is a full-sized square rather than a small scatter cushion, so it earns its place at the back of a sofa or as a pair on a bed. The blush body with its gold piping suits a warm, gentle scheme rather than a stark one, and it sits happily against greys, creams and darker greens where you want a little softness. Because the pile catches the light differently as you move past it, a plain cushion like this does more work in a room than its simple description suggests. It pairs naturally with other Meridian cushions, whose piped borders come in a range of complementary colours.

The cover closes with a zip, so it comes off easily when you want to freshen it, and the piped seam gives the edges a defined, tailored line rather than a soft roll. Polyester velvet of this kind resists crushing and keeps its nap well, which is what makes a plain velvet cushion practical for everyday use rather than for show alone. Style it on its own for a quiet, tonal look, or build a group across the Meridian range by mixing the gold piping here with other border colours from the same family.

Is the gold piping on both the front and the back?

The piping runs around the whole border where the front and reverse meet, so the gold line shows from every angle of the cushion.

Does the cover come off for cleaning?

Yes, it has a zip closure along one edge, so the cover slips off the pad easily when you want to freshen or clean it.

How big is this cushion?

It is a 45 x 45cm square, a full-sized cushion rather than a small scatter, so it fills the back of a sofa or works well as a bed pair.

What does velvet feel polyester actually feel like?

It has the soft, deep pile and light-catching surface you expect from velvet, made in polyester so it stays hard-wearing and holds its colour well.

Can I mix it with other cushions in the range?

Yes, the Meridian range shares the same plain body with piped borders in a range of complementary colours, so they group together easily.
