Tilly Reversible Velvet Cushion - Heather/Smoke

The Tilly is a reversible velvet cushion in a long, generous rectangle measuring 30 by 50cm. Both faces are velvet, so there is no right or wrong way to sit it, and a soft frilled edge runs down the sides to give the shape a relaxed, cottage-style finish. The cushion is made entirely of polyester velvet, which gives it that deep, light-catching pile you can see shifting across the surface in the photographs, from a warm burnt rust across the body to a soft mink-grey along the ruffle.

A rectangular cushion of this length earns its place at the front of a sofa or across the head of a bed, where it fills the space a pair of square cushions would leave awkward. It sits happily among larger squares as the finishing layer, and the muted, earthy tones make it easy to build a scheme around. Set against neutral linen, deep green panelling or alongside patterned autumnal cushions, it reads as the plain, calming note that lets a busier print do the talking.

The reversible construction means you turn it over whenever one face has taken more use than the other, which keeps the pile looking even over time. A hidden zip closure runs along one edge so the cover comes off cleanly, and the frill is worked on both sides rather than a single face, so it looks the same whichever way you flip it. Polyester velvet is hard-wearing and holds its colour well, which suits a cushion that is meant to be handled and rearranged rather than kept for show. If you are dressing a sofa across a season, it layers naturally with the wider Tilly range.

What is the cushion made from?

It is made entirely of 100% polyester velvet, which gives it a soft, deep pile that is hard-wearing and holds its colour through regular use and handling.

Is it truly reversible?

Yes, both faces are velvet and the frilled edge is worked on both sides, so it looks the same whichever way you turn it and wears more evenly over time.

How big is it and what shape?

It is a long rectangle measuring 30 by 50cm, which suits the front of a sofa or the head of a bed better than a square cushion would.

Does the cover come off?

A hidden zip runs along one edge, so the cover can be removed cleanly and the closure stays out of sight when the cushion is in place.

What colours does it show?

This one has a warm burnt rust velvet body with a soft mink-grey frill along the edges, an earthy pairing that sits well with neutral and autumnal schemes.
