Description
This is a plain velvet cushion from the Meridian range, made from 100% polyester with a soft, velvet-feel pile. The front and reverse are a single moss green, and the edges are finished with a contrasting piped border in charcoal grey, so the shape reads cleanly whichever way the cushion sits. It measures 55 by 55cm, which is larger than the standard 45cm scatter cushion most sofas come dressed with, and that extra width is the reason to choose it: a bigger cushion holds its shape against the back of a deep seat rather than disappearing into it.
It suits a living room sofa or armchair, and it does the work a plain cushion is meant to do. Where a patterned cushion competes for attention, a solid moss green sits behind the busier pieces and gives the eye somewhere to rest. The charcoal piping picks up grey tones already in a room, so it settles alongside neutral upholstery, warmer pinks and blush, or deeper teal and blue without clashing. Because it is one colour front and back, it works flipped, propped or stacked, and a matching pair frames a two-seater sofa neatly.
The cover has a piped trim and a zip closure, so it can be taken off for cleaning and put back without fuss. Polyester velvet is hard-wearing and holds colour well, which is worth knowing on a piece that gets leant on daily. The piping runs a firm line around the perimeter and keeps the edges defined over time. The Meridian range runs to a set of complementary piped colourways, so if you want to build a layered arrangement rather than a single accent, the other tones in the range are made to sit together.

Frequently Asked
How big is this cushion compared with a standard one?
It is 55 by 55cm, which is larger than the usual 45cm scatter cushion, so it holds its shape better against a deep sofa back.
Is the cover removable?
Yes, the cover has a zip closure along one edge, so you can take it off for cleaning and put it back easily.
What is the fabric like to touch?
It is a soft velvet-feel fabric made from 100% polyester, which has a smooth pile and is hard-wearing enough for daily use.
What colour is the piping?
The piped border is charcoal grey, which contrasts with the moss green body and picks up grey tones elsewhere in a room.
Can I use this cushion on both sides?
Yes, the front and reverse are the same moss green, so it looks the same whichever way you turn it and can be flipped freely.
