Meridian Plain Velvet Cushion - Teal/Navy

This is a plain velvet cushion in a deep teal, finished with a contrasting piped border in navy blue that runs right around the edge. It measures 55 by 55cm, which is larger than the standard 45cm cushion most sofas come dressed with, so it carries real presence when you place it. The face is a soft velvet-feel fabric made from 100% polyester, and both the front and the reverse are the same teal, so it sits well however it falls.

A cushion this size works hardest at the back of a sofa or an armchair, where its depth fills the corner and gives you something substantial to lean into. The teal reads as a rich, saturated blue-green, and the navy piping gives it a defined edge rather than letting the colour bleed into whatever it sits against. It suits a room where you want a single strong colour rather than a busy pattern, and it pairs happily with neutrals, warm woods and other jewel tones. Because it is plain on both sides, you can turn it without exposing a different back.

The cover is polyester throughout, which is the reason it holds its colour and its shape through everyday use and does not crease the way a natural fibre would. A zip closure lets you take the cover off, and the piped trim is stitched into the seam so the edge stays crisp. The velvet pile catches the light differently as you move around it, which is why the teal looks to shift between the flat face and the piped side in the photographs. It belongs to the wider Meridian range, which offers the same plain-front, piped-edge cushion in a set of complementary colourways, so you can build a group that coordinates without matching exactly.

What size is this cushion and will it suit my sofa?

It measures 55 by 55cm, which is larger than the common 45cm cushion, so it fills a sofa corner well and gives you a generous, substantial cushion to lean against.

Is the cushion the same colour on both sides?

Yes, the cushion has a plain teal front and a plain teal reverse, so you can turn it freely without exposing a different colour or a patterned back.

What is the piping made of and what colour is it?

The piped border is a contrasting navy blue that runs around the full edge of the cushion, stitched into the seam to give the cover a defined, crisp outline.

Can I remove the cover?

Yes, the cover has a zip closure, so you can take it off the inner pad when you need to. The cover is made from 100% polyester velvet-feel fabric.

Does the velvet look like it changes colour?

Velvet has a directional pile that catches the light, so the teal can look slightly deeper or brighter depending on the angle you view it from and how the light falls.
