Description
The Tilly is a plain velvet cushion in a lace-cream body finished with a black frill running down the shorter edges. It measures 30 x 50cm, so it sits in the long bolster proportion rather than a square, which makes it useful as the front layer in a stack or as a lumbar support along the back of a sofa. The face is a soft, even velvet with no pattern, and the contrast frill gives it definition without asking the rest of the room to work around a print.
A cushion this shape earns its place on a made bed, propped against the pillows, or laid across the arm of an armchair where a square cushion would slide. The cream and black pairing is quiet enough to sit with most schemes, and the long format works well when you want to break up a row of larger square cushions with something narrower. It reads relaxed rather than formal, and suits a soft, layered corner of a living room or bedroom.
The cover is made from polyester velvet, which holds its pile and its colour well and shrugs off everyday handling. A concealed zip runs along one edge, so the cover comes off for cleaning and goes back on without the closure showing. Velvet catches the light differently as you move around it, so the same cushion can look pale and matt from one angle and deeper from another. Styled on its own it is a simple, tactile finishing touch; grouped with plainer weaves it lets the frill do the talking.

Frequently Asked
What is the cover made from?
The cover is 100% polyester velvet, a hard-wearing pile fabric that holds its colour and resists everyday crushing better than many natural velvets.
Does the cover come off?
Yes. There is a concealed zip along one edge, so you can slip the cover off for cleaning and put it back on with the closure hidden from view.
What size is this cushion?
It measures 30 x 50cm, a long rectangular bolster shape rather than a square, which is well suited to lumbar support or the front of a layered arrangement.
Where does the black frill sit?
The frill trim runs down the two shorter edges of the cushion, framing the plain cream velvet face on either side.
Is a pad included?
The record does not confirm whether an inner pad is supplied, so please check the listing before ordering if you need one included.
