Meridian Plain Velvet Cushion - Pumpkin/Mocha

This is the Meridian cushion in a plain velvet-feel fabric, a burnt pumpkin orange right across the front and reverse. It is a 45x45cm square, which is the standard fill size most sofa and bed cushion inserts are sold in, so replacements and swaps are easy to find. What gives it its character is the contrasting piped edge in a deep mocha brown, running the full way round the seam and framing the orange face rather than blending into it. The pile catches the light differently as you move past it, so the colour shifts between a warm rust and a lighter amber depending on where you sit.

A single strong colour like this earns its place in a room that is otherwise fairly quiet. It sits well against a grey or oatmeal sofa, warms up a neutral bed, and reads as a considered choice rather than a busy one because the pattern is doing nothing and the colour is doing everything. The mocha piping means it also works alongside brown leather and darker timber, which a plain orange cushion on its own would not always manage. Group two or three together at one end of a long sofa, or set one against a larger plain cushion behind it.

The cover is made from 100% polyester, woven as a soft velvet-feel fabric, and polyester holds its colour well and resists the fading you would see on some natural fibres in a sunny window. There is a zip closure along one edge, so the cover comes off the insert for cleaning and goes back on without fuss. The piped trim gives the seam a firm, defined edge that helps the cushion keep its square shape. The Meridian range runs to several other colourways, each with its own contrasting piped border, so you can build a set that coordinates without matching exactly.

What size cushion insert do I need for this cover?

The cover is 45x45cm, the most common square size, so a standard 45cm insert will fill it out neatly with a plump finish.

Does the cover come off for cleaning?

Yes, there is a zip closure along one edge so you can remove the cover from the insert whenever you need to freshen it up.

Is the whole cushion orange, or just the front?

Both the front and the reverse are the same pumpkin orange velvet-feel fabric, with the mocha brown piping running around the seam that joins them.

What is the fabric actually made of?

The cover is 100% polyester made up as a soft velvet-feel fabric, which keeps its colour well and stands up to everyday use on a sofa or bed.

Will it match the other Meridian cushions?

The Meridian range shares the same plain-face-with-contrasting-piping design across several colourways, so you can mix them for a coordinated look without everything being identical.
