Description
The Ultimate Stripe cushion is a 45 x 45cm square worked in a soft velvet jacquard, where the stripe is woven into the cloth rather than printed on top. The pile catches the light unevenly across the bands, so the design reads as a run of broad vertical stripes that shift between a warm sandy tan and a pale creamy tea green depending on how the light falls. It is a double-sided cushion, so the same striped face appears front and back and you can flip it whenever you want a quick refresh.
A square 45cm cushion is the workhorse size for a sofa or a bed, big enough to hold its shape when you lean on it and easy to layer with smaller or patterned pieces. The muted tan and cream palette here is deliberately quiet, which means it sits happily against neutral walls and natural woods and does the job of pulling a scheme together without shouting for attention. Pair two of the same for a settled, symmetrical look, or mix it in with plainer cushions and let the stripe be the one thing with movement in the group.
The face is a velvet jacquard with a matt finish, so you get the depth and softness of velvet pile without a high sheen, and the cover closes with a zip so it comes off easily when you need to. The velvet band and the flatter band sit at different heights in the weave, which is what gives the stripe its texture as well as its colour. The supplier does not state the fill or a care routine, so we have not printed either; ask us before you launder it. This cushion belongs to our wider Ultimate Stripe range if you want to build the look out further.

Frequently Asked
What is the cushion made of?
The cover is 100% polyester woven as a velvet jacquard, which gives it a soft pile face with a matt rather than shiny finish across the stripes.
What does jacquard mean on this cushion?
Jacquard means the stripe is woven into the fabric on the loom rather than printed on, so the pattern has real texture and will not wear off the surface over time.
How big is it and where does that size suit?
It measures 45 x 45cm, the standard square size that works well on a sofa, an armchair or laid across the front of a bed.
Is the pattern on both sides?
Yes, it is double-sided with the same striped design front and back, so you can turn it over for a quick refresh whenever you like.
Does the cover come off?
The cover has a zip closure, so it lifts off easily. We would ask you to check with us on cleaning, as the supplier has not given a care routine.
What colour is the cushion?
It is a muted mix of warm sandy tan and a pale creamy tea green, so it sits quietly against neutral walls and natural wood tones.
