Description
The Palmeria cushion leads with its face: a soft velvet worked all over with a quilted, embroidered palm-leaf design that catches the light differently as you move past it. The front is 100% polyester velvet, chosen for the depth of pile that gives velvet its glow, and the reverse is 100% cotton, so the side against your headboard or sofa back breathes and sits softly. It measures 60 by 60cm, a generous square that reads as a large cushion rather than a small accent.
A 60cm square earns its place at the back of a bed, where two of them stand behind sleeping pillows, or anchoring the corner of a wide sofa. The gold shows warm and tawny in the photograph, deep and slightly amber rather than bright yellow, which sits well with dark timber, deep green and other warm neutrals. The oxford border, the flat frame of fabric running round the outside edge, gives the cushion a defined outline that suits a made bed and holds its shape when it is stood upright against the wall.
The cover fastens with a hidden zip, so nothing interrupts the leaf pattern across the front and the cushion looks finished from every angle. The quilting is stitched through the velvet to hold the raised leaf forms, and the cotton reverse keeps the whole cover soft to handle. Being polyester on the face, the velvet is durable and holds its pile well in daily use. The supplier lists a coordinating Duvet Cover Set and a matching Pillowcase Set in the same Palmeria design, should you want to build the look across the bed.

Frequently Asked
Is the cushion pad included, or just the cover?
The listing is for the cushion cover, which fastens with a hidden zip. You would add a 60cm pad to fill it out to the size shown.
What is the front made of and what is the back?
The front is 100% polyester velvet with the quilted leaf design, and the reverse is 100% cotton, so the back feels softer and more breathable.
How big is it and where does that size suit?
It is a 60 by 60cm square, a large cushion that works best standing behind pillows on a bed or filling the corner of a wide sofa.
What does the oxford border mean?
An oxford border is a flat frame of fabric that runs round the outside edge, giving the cushion a defined outline and a neat, made-bed finish.
Does the pattern show on the back as well?
No, the quilted palm-leaf design is on the velvet front only. The cotton reverse is plain, and the zip is hidden so the front stays uninterrupted.
