Velvet Pompom Plain Cotton Cushion - Orange/Fuchsia

This is a plain velvet-fronted cushion in a warm burnt orange, edged the whole way round with a run of contrasting fuchsia pompoms. The face is a faux velvet in 100% cotton, so it carries the short, dense pile that catches the light while washing and behaving like the natural fibre it is. It is a single square size, 45 x 45cm, which is the standard scatter cushion measurement most sofa and bed pads are sold to fit.

The colour pairing does the work here. A bold orange body against bright pink pompoms is a deliberately playful, bohemian combination, and it sits happily on a plain sofa, a bench seat, an armchair or across the head of a bed where you want a shot of colour rather than a quiet neutral. Because the front is plain, it layers well with patterned cushions and reads as the solid, warm anchor in a group rather than competing for attention. It suits a living room that already leans colourful and lifts a room that does not.

The pompom trim runs around the entire edge, and there is a hidden zip closure so the pad slips in and out without a visible fastening. The knife edge keeps the corners soft and full rather than boxed. Cotton velvet responds well to careful handling, so this one is dry clean only and takes a cool iron if the pile needs settling. Fill it with a 45cm pad, a touch larger than the cover if you want a plump finish, and let the pompoms show.

Does this cushion come with a filling pad or is it the cover only?

The record lists this as a single cushion at 45 x 45cm. We would suggest checking the product options at the point of ordering to confirm whether a pad is included for your size.

How should I clean the velvet cushion to keep the colours bright?

It is dry clean only, so take it to a dry cleaner rather than putting it through a wash, and iron on a cool setting only if the velvet pile needs settling.

What size pad fits this cover?

The cover measures 45 x 45cm, the standard scatter cushion size, so a 45cm pad fits. Choose one the same size or slightly larger for a plumper, fuller finish.

Is the pompom trim on one edge or all the way round?

The contrasting fuchsia pompoms run around the entire edge of the cushion, on all four sides, so the trim shows however you sit or turn it.

What is the cushion made from?

It is 100% cotton with a faux velvet front and reverse, which gives you the soft, dense pile of velvet in a natural cotton fibre that feels warm to the touch.
