Description
This is the Meridian cushion in mineral blue, a plain velvet-feel cover with a contrasting piped edge in teal. The photograph shows a soft, even blue face with no pattern to it, so the fabric and the piping do the whole job here. At 55x55cm it is a larger than average square, which is the size to reach for when you want a cushion with real presence rather than a small accent that disappears into the back of a sofa.
A cushion this size earns its place at the corners of a three-seater or across the head of a bed, where a smaller square would look lost. The mineral blue is a calm, slightly greyed tone that sits happily against warm neutrals, terracotta and natural woods, and the teal piping gives it a defined outline so it reads as considered rather than plain. Because both the front and the reverse are the same mineral blue, it looks finished whichever way it falls, which matters on a cushion you will plump and turn daily.
The cover is made of 100% polyester with a velvet feel, so it takes colour deeply and holds it, and polyester is hard-wearing and resists the fading that catches out some natural fibres in a sunny room. The piped trim is a sewn-in border that holds the shape of the square, and a zip closure means the cover comes off. The Meridian range runs to several colourways with the same plain face and contrasting piping, so you can pair the mineral blue with a warmer tone from the range if you want two shades working together.

Frequently Asked
How big is this cushion compared with a standard square?
It measures 55x55cm, which is larger than the common 45cm square, so it gives more presence on a sofa or bed and fills a corner properly.
Does the cover come off for cleaning?
Yes, there is a zip closure along one edge, so the cover can be removed from the pad rather than being a sealed unit you cannot open.
What does the velvet-feel polyester actually feel like?
Polyester with a velvet feel gives you a soft, plush face with a slight sheen, and the fibre is hard-wearing and holds its colour well over time.
Is the piping a different colour from the main cover?
Yes, the body is mineral blue and the piped border is a contrasting teal, so the edge is defined and the square keeps a crisp outline.
Are both sides the same?
The front and the reverse are both the plain mineral blue, so the cushion looks finished whichever way round it sits.
