Meridian Plain Velvet Cushion - Lime/Hot Pink

This Meridian cushion is a plain velvet-feel cover in a bright lime green, finished all the way round with a contrasting piped edge in hot pink. It measures 55 x 55cm, which puts it at the larger end of the scale cushions come in, so it holds its shape on a sofa and gives you something substantial to lean against rather than a thin scatter cushion that disappears behind you. The face and the reverse are both the same lime green; the piping is the only decoration, and it does the work.

A cushion like this earns its place by being a colour, so it suits a room that can take one. It lifts a plain sofa in grey, charcoal or navy, and the hot pink piping means it sits happily alongside other bright tones rather than needing everything around it to be quiet. Group it with the other colourways in the Meridian range and you get a mix of rich shades that already share the same piped detail, so they read as a set without matching exactly. It works equally well as a single splash of colour on a bed or a bench.

The cover is made from 100% polyester with a soft velvet feel, which is a hard-wearing fibre that holds colour well and resists everyday wear, so a bright shade like this stays bright. There is a zip closure, so the cover comes off for cleaning and goes back on easily. The piped trim is stitched into the seam around all four edges, which is what gives the cushion its crisp outline. Because the whole Meridian range shares this plain-front, contrast-piped design, you can build up a group of cushions in different colours that clearly belong together.

Is the cushion the same colour on both sides?

Yes. Both the front and the reverse are plain lime green, so it looks the same whichever way you turn it, with the hot pink piping running around every edge.

What size is this cushion and will it suit a sofa?

It measures 55 x 55cm, which is larger than a standard scatter cushion, so it holds its shape well on a sofa and gives proper support when you lean back.

What is the cover made from?

The cover is 100% polyester with a soft velvet feel. Polyester is hard wearing and holds its colour well, so a bright shade like this stays bright with use.

Can I take the cover off?

Yes, there is a zip closure along one edge, so the cover comes off for cleaning and goes back on again without any fuss.

Will it match the other cushions in the Meridian range?

The whole Meridian range shares the same plain front with contrasting piping, so different colourways sit together as a set without having to match exactly.
