Meridian Plain Velvet Cushion - Teal/Tiger

This is a plain velvet cushion in a deep teal blue, finished with a contrasting piped edge in a bright tiger orange. It measures 55 by 55cm, which is larger than a standard scatter cushion, so it holds its shape well when propped upright and gives you something with real presence rather than a small accent. The face and reverse are both plain velvet, so there is no wrong way to sit it, and the piping traces the full perimeter to define the edge against the sofa or bed behind it.

A cushion this size earns its place on a three-seater sofa, at the head of a made bed, or in the corner of an armchair where you want something to lean into. The teal reads as a rich, saturated blue-green, and the orange piping stops it feeling flat by drawing a fine line of warmth around every edge. It sits well against neutral upholstery, where the colour does the work, or alongside other jewel tones if you want a layered, confident scheme. The plain faces make it an easy partner for patterned cushions without competing with them.

The cover is made from 100% polyester with a soft velvet feel, chosen to be hard-wearing as well as comfortable, which matters on a piece that gets sat on and moved about. A zip closure runs along one edge so the cover comes off when you need it to, and the piped trim is worked into the seam all the way round. This cushion belongs to the wider Meridian range, where each cover pairs a plain body with a contrasting piped border, so you can build up a set of complementary colours that read as one considered group.
