Neptune Geometric Velvet Cushion - Charcoal

The Neptune cushion is a square velvet cushion in a deep charcoal, worked with a raised geometric pattern that runs edge to edge across the face. Look closely and you can see the design is a honeycomb of small rounded cells set within a fine diamond grid, so the surface catches the light in two ways at once: the plush pile of the raised dots reads soft and dark, while the recessed lines pick out a lighter sheen. It is a 50 x 50cm cover, a generous square that holds its shape well against the back of a sofa or a headboard.

Velvet earns its place in a room through texture rather than pattern, and this one does the work quietly. The charcoal tone is dark enough to sit against most upholstery without fighting it, so it suits a pale linen sofa as readily as a mid-grey one, and it layers happily with plainer cushions where you want the geometric texture to be the point of difference. Use it to add depth to a seating group, or set a pair at the head of a bed. Because the colour is a true neutral-dark rather than a bright, it works in a calm scheme and an evening-lit living room alike.

The cover is made from polyester, which is what gives the pile its consistent, hard-wearing nap and helps the raised pattern keep its definition through everyday use. Polyester holds colour well and resists crushing, so the honeycomb stays proud rather than flattening. A zip closure runs along one edge, which means the cover comes off cleanly for cleaning and goes back on without a struggle. Set it flat or on point to change how the diamond grid reads, and let the texture carry the room.

Is the cover velvet all over, or only on one side?

The photographs show the raised geometric velvet across the face of the cushion, which is the side you display. We cannot confirm the reverse from the record, so treat the patterned face as the one to show.

Does the cushion come with an insert or as a cover only?

The record lists this as the cover. We would suggest checking whether a pad is included before you order, and sizing any insert to the 50 x 50cm cover for a full, well-filled look.

What does the polyester velvet mean for everyday wear?

Polyester pile is hard-wearing and holds its colour and its raised texture well, so the honeycomb pattern stays defined and resists crushing better than many softer piles through regular use on a sofa or bed.

How do I get the cover on and off?

There is a zip along one edge, so the cover slips off cleanly for cleaning and back on without fuss. That makes it easy to keep fresh where the cushion sees daily use.

What size is it and where does it work best?

It is a 50 x 50cm square, a generous size that sits well against the back of a sofa or at the head of a bed, and pairs neatly with plainer cushions in the same scheme.
