Velvet is an ancient textile royalty with roots dating back to 2000 BC, boasting the ability to elevate any room's decor. A luxurious fabric, velvet is soft yet timeless and can instantly elevate the decor in any room it graces.

It's essential when selecting a velvet cushion to consider its intended use and style; whether that means providing lumbar support, decorative flair, or simply providing additional comfort on hard chairs. Also, keep the size of your furniture and whether or not an oversized cushion on small chairs would look disproportionate - additionally, there are filling options such as memory foam or feathers which offer different levels of contouring and support compared with cotton and gel-based options which offer a cooling sensation against skin.
