Meridian Plain Velvet Cushion - Teal/Cylon

This is a plain velvet cushion in a deep teal blue, finished with a contrasting piped edge in bright yellow that runs right around the border. The face and the reverse are both plain, so it reads the same whichever way it lands, and the piping is the only detail on it: a single clean line of colour against the pile. It measures 45 x 45cm, a generous square that holds its shape on a sofa or a bed. The cover is made from 100% polyester with a soft velvet feel, chosen here for its short, dense pile and the way it catches the light across a flat surface.

A cushion like this earns its place on a sofa, an armchair or a bed, and the plain teal ground makes it easy to place. It sits well against neutral upholstery, natural wood and darker greens, and the yellow piping gives you a second colour to pick up elsewhere in the room. Because there is no pattern to fight with, you can layer it with printed cushions or keep it simple, and the square 45cm size is large enough to prop against comfortably rather than being purely decorative.

The cover closes with a zip, so it comes off for cleaning and goes back on without fuss, and the piped trim gives the edges a defined, tailored finish rather than a plain seam. Polyester velvet holds its colour well and resists crushing better than many pile fabrics, which is worth knowing on a cushion that gets leant on. The teal and yellow pairing is one of several colourways in the Meridian range, each with its own contrasting piping, so if you want to build a set that agrees rather than matches exactly, the range is built for it.

Is the cushion the same on both sides?

Yes, the front and reverse are both plain teal velvet, so it looks the same whichever way it falls on your sofa or bed.

Does the cover come off for cleaning?

It closes with a zip, so the cover lifts off the pad and goes back on easily whenever you need to clean it.

What does the velvet feel like?

It is a polyester velvet with a short, dense pile that feels soft to the touch and catches the light across the flat face.

How big is it?

It is a square cushion measuring 45 x 45cm, a generous size that is large enough to prop and lean against rather than purely decorative.

Will it match the other Meridian cushions?

The Meridian range comes in several colourways with contrasting piping, so you can build a coordinated set that agrees without every cushion being identical.
