Description
The Savoy Stripe cushion pairs a cut velvet front with a smooth velvet reverse, so the same cover reads two ways depending on which face you show. The front carries fine vertical stripes worked in a slightly raised, contrasting yarn that catches the light against a deep navy pile; the reverse is plain navy velvet, calm and unbroken. It measures 50 x 50cm, a generous square that holds its shape well against the arm or back of a sofa. The cover is 100% polyester, which is why the pile stays springy, resists crushing under everyday use and keeps its colour rather than fading in a bright room.
A 50cm square is the workhorse size for a sofa or a bed: large enough to lean on, small enough to layer two or three across a three-seater without crowding. Set the striped face forward when you want a bit of texture and pattern, and turn it to the plain reverse when you want the navy to sit quietly beside busier cushions. The deep blue works with warm neutrals, with brass or aged-gold accents that echo the stripe, and against both dark timber and pale linen upholstery. It suits a living room, a reading chair or the head of a made bed equally well.
The cover fastens with a zip along one edge, so it lifts off the pad in seconds for cleaning and goes back on without a fight. Polyester velvet is a hard-wearing pile, which is part of why it takes daily leaning and plumping without going flat. Brush the pile in one direction to keep the sheen even and even out any marks left by a hand or a resting arm. The stripe detail gives it more to say than a plain velvet cushion, so it earns its place as the accent in a group rather than the filler.

Frequently Asked
Is the cushion striped on both sides?
No. The front carries the cut velvet stripe design and the reverse is a smooth plain velvet, so you can turn it to suit the room.
What is the cover made from?
The cover is 100% polyester velvet, a hard-wearing pile that keeps its spring and colour under everyday leaning and plumping.
How big is the cushion?
It is a 50 x 50cm square, the standard size for a sofa or bed, and roomy enough to layer two or three together.
Does the cover come off?
Yes. There is a zip along one edge, so the cover lifts off the pad quickly for cleaning and slips back on easily.
How do I keep the velvet looking its best?
Brush the pile in one direction now and then to keep the sheen even and to smooth out marks left by hands or a resting arm.
