Description
This is a plain velvet cushion from the Meridian range, made from 100% polyester with a soft, velvet-feel pile. The face and reverse are a uniform charcoal grey, and the edge is finished with a contrasting piped border in moss green that traces the whole perimeter. It measures 45 x 45cm, a generous square that sits fuller than a standard 40cm scatter cushion, so it holds its shape on a sofa or bed rather than disappearing behind larger pieces.
A plain velvet like this earns its place by working with pattern rather than competing for attention. The charcoal ground is a neutral that sits happily against most sofas and bedspreads, and the moss-green piping gives it a defined edge and a point of colour to pick up elsewhere in the room. Group it with the other colourways in the Meridian range, or set it beside a patterned cushion where the plain face gives the eye somewhere to rest. It suits a living-room sofa, a reading chair or the head of a bed equally well.
The cover is constructed with a piped trim around the edge and a zip closure, so the cover can be taken off the pad for cleaning. Velvet made from polyester is durable and holds its colour well, which matters on a cushion that gets leaned on and moved about daily. The pile catches the light differently depending on the angle, so the charcoal reads lighter or darker as you cross the room. If you like the look, the wider Meridian range offers the same plain body with piping in a range of complementary edge colours.

Frequently Asked
What is the cushion actually made from?
The cover is 100% polyester with a soft velvet-feel pile, which gives the plush hand of velvet while being hard-wearing and easy to live with day to day.
How big is the cushion and will it fill a sofa well?
It measures 45 x 45cm, which is a little larger than a standard scatter cushion, so it holds its shape and reads fuller against the back of a sofa or bed.
Does the cover come off for cleaning?
Yes. It has a zip closure along one edge, so the cover can be removed from the pad when you need to clean or swap it.
What colour is the piping?
The body is a uniform charcoal grey and the piped border that runs around the whole edge is a contrasting moss green, which gives the plain face a defined outline.
Will it match my other cushions?
The plain charcoal body pairs easily with patterned cushions and works across most sofa colours, and the Meridian range offers the same body with piping in other edge colours.
