Meridian Plain Velvet Cushion - Sage/Green

The Meridian is a plain velvet cushion in a soft sage green, finished with a contrasting piped trim that runs cleanly around all four edges. Made from 100% polyester velvet, it has the short, dense pile that gives velvet its light-catching quality, so the same cloth looks a shade lighter or deeper depending on how you turn it and where the light falls. It comes in two square sizes, 45x45cm and 55x55cm, both cut with the piping framing the front panel.

A plain velvet cushion is one of the more useful things you can keep on a sofa, because it does the work of softening a seat without competing with anything else in the room. The sage green sits happily against warm woods and terracotta or rust upholstery, as the photograph shows, and it layers well with patterned cushions when you want a calmer element in the mix. Use a pair to anchor the ends of a large sofa, or a single one on an armchair or the end of a bed. The piped edge gives it a defined shape that holds up better under daily leaning than an unpiped cushion.

The cover is built with a concealed zip closure, so the fastening stays out of sight and the front reads as an unbroken panel of velvet. Polyester velvet is hard-wearing and holds its colour well, which suits a cushion that gets sat against and plumped often. Being a synthetic pile, it resists the crushing that flattens some natural velvets over time. The plain sage sits within a wider Meridian range of velvet cushions, so you can build a coordinated set across sizes and shades if you want the look to carry through a room.

What is the cover made from?

Is the cushion plain or patterned?
