Description
This is a plain velvet cushion from the Meridian range, made in a deep maroon with a contrasting piped edge in moss green. The face and reverse are both plain, so there is no pattern to line up and no right or wrong way to sit it on a sofa. It measures 45 by 45cm, which is a generous square that holds its shape when propped against the arm of a settee or the headboard of a bed. The fabric is a soft velvet-feel weave, and the whole cover is finished with a piped trim running around the seam and a zip along one edge so the cover comes off for cleaning.
A square cushion this size earns its place at the back of a sofa, where it gives support rather than just decoration, and it works equally well on an armchair, a reading bench or a made bed. The maroon is a rich, warm colour that sits happily against grey and charcoal upholstery, natural wood and darker neutrals, while the moss green piping picks out a second colour you can echo elsewhere in the room. Because both sides match, you can turn it over as one face softens with use and the cushion keeps looking even.
The cover is 100% polyester, which is the reason it wears well: the fibre resists crushing, keeps its colour and shrugs off day-to-day handling better than many natural piles. The piped border is stitched into the seam rather than added on top, so it frames the cushion cleanly, and the zip closure means you can remove the cover to launder it. The Meridian range runs to several complementary colourways, all with the same contrasting piped edge, so you can mix maroon with the other shades across a sofa or a bed and keep a consistent look throughout.

Frequently Asked
Is the cushion pad included or is this just the cover?
The record does not state whether a pad is supplied, so please check the listing details before you order if you need the filling as well.
Can I take the cover off to wash it?
Yes, there is a zip closure along one edge, so the cover comes off cleanly for cleaning or replacing without unpicking any stitching.
What is the piping made of and where does it sit?
The moss green piping is stitched into the seam that runs around the edge of the cushion, framing the maroon velvet face on both sides.
Does the front look different from the back?
No, the front and reverse are both plain maroon velvet, so you can turn the cushion over and it looks the same either way.
Why choose a polyester velvet over a natural pile?
Polyester velvet holds its colour and resists crushing, so this cushion keeps its look through regular use on a sofa or bed.
