Description
This is a plain velvet-feel cushion in a uniform charcoal grey, finished with a contrasting piped border in moss green. It measures 55 by 55 centimetres, which is larger than the standard 45 by 45 cushion most sofas are dressed with, so it reads as a generous, filled square rather than a slim scatter cushion. The fabric is a soft velvet-feel weave, and the front and reverse are both plain, so it sits the same whichever way you turn it. The piped edge is where the interest lives: it draws a clean line around all four sides and lifts an otherwise quiet grey.
A cushion this size earns its place at the back of a deep sofa or an armchair, where a smaller one would get lost. The charcoal ground is a settled, neutral base that works against most upholstery colours, and the moss green piping gives you a thread to pick up in a throw, a rug or a nearby plant. Group it with plainer or smaller cushions and let the size do the anchoring, or set two at either end of a bed for a made, deliberate finish. It suits a living room or a bedroom equally.
The cover is made from 100% polyester, which is why it wears well and holds its colour through regular use and daylight, and it has a zip closure so the cover comes off the pad when you need it to. Because it is a synthetic velvet, the pile can be brushed back into line with the flat of your hand if it flattens where it is leaned on. The Meridian range runs across a set of complementary piped colourways, so if you like the shape you can match or mix piping tones across a room without hunting for a coordinating print.

Frequently Asked
What is the cover made from?
The cover is 100% polyester in a soft velvet-feel weave, which is a hard-wearing synthetic that keeps its colour well and stands up to everyday use on a sofa or bed.
How big is this cushion?
It measures 55 by 55 centimetres, which is larger than the usual 45 by 45 scatter cushion, so it fills a deep sofa back or works as a generous anchor cushion.
Does the cover come off?
Yes, there is a zip closure along one edge, so you can take the cover off the pad whenever you need to.
What colour is the piping?
The main body is a uniform charcoal grey and the piped border running around all four edges is a contrasting moss green.
Will the velvet pile flatten?
Being a velvet-feel pile it can press down where it is leaned on, but you can smooth it back into line with the flat of your hand.
