Description
The Sunningdale is a plain velvet cushion in a pale platinum grey, cut to a rectangular 30 x 50cm. The face is a soft polyester velvet with the short, dense pile that catches the light differently as you move past it, so a single colour reads as several shades across the surface. There is no pattern here and none is wanted. This is a cushion that does its work through texture and colour alone, which is what makes it easy to live with in a room that already has plenty going on.
A 30 x 50cm rectangle is the bolster-style size, longer than it is deep, and it sits well tucked in front of larger square cushions on a sofa or laid across the head of a bed for support behind the small of your back. The platinum grey is a quiet neutral, cool rather than warm, so it settles happily against darker greys, blues and greens as much as it does against cream or natural linen. Because it is plain, you can buy it to pull a busier scheme together, or mix it with other shades in the range that sit comfortably beside one another.
The cover is finished with knife edging, a clean flat seam rather than a piped or flanged border, and a hidden zip closure along one edge so the cover comes off for cleaning and the fastening stays out of sight. It is made in the UK. Velvet holds its look best with a gentle touch, so a light brush of the pile in one direction keeps it sitting evenly. Sold as a single cushion, it is an easy way to add depth to a seating group or a bed without committing to a print.

Frequently Asked
What is the cover made from?
The cover is 100% polyester velvet, which gives it a soft, dense pile and a colour that shifts gently with the light while wearing well over time.
Does the cover come off?
Yes, there is a hidden zip closure along one edge, so you can remove the cover for cleaning and the fastening stays out of sight when the cushion is in use.
What size is this cushion?
It is a rectangular 30 x 50cm, the longer bolster-style shape, which suits sitting in front of larger square cushions or across the head of a bed.
Does it come with a filling or is it just a cover?
This listing is for a single cushion in platinum grey. The velvet face is plain, so it works either on its own or mixed with other shades.
How do I keep the velvet looking its best?
Velvet responds well to a gentle brush of the pile in one direction, which keeps the surface sitting evenly and stops any flattened patches from showing.
