FAQs

What are the dimensions of these cushion covers?

While specific dimensions are not provided, these are designed as standard soft square covers, typically fitting common cushion insert sizes. It's advisable to measure your insert or check product details for exact sizing if available.

Can I machine wash these covers?

Hand washing in cool water is recommended to best preserve the crushed velvet texture and color. Machine washing is generally not advised as it can damage the delicate pile.

Do these covers come with cushion inserts?

No, these are sold as covers only. You will need to purchase cushion inserts separately.

How do I achieve the best look with the crushed velvet?

Ensure the cushion insert fills the cover evenly. The crushed effect is natural to the fabric; try different lighting angles to appreciate its shimmer. Gently brush the pile to keep it looking its best.

Is the gold color very bright or more muted?

The 'gold' color, combined with crushed velvet, will have a shimmering effect that can appear both bright and muted depending on the light. It tends to be a warm, rich gold with dynamic highlights.

What makes crushed velvet different from regular velvet?

Crushed velvet is created by intentionally crushing the pile in various directions, creating a unique textured, shimmering, and often slightly iridescent effect. Regular velvet typically has a uniform, smooth pile.

Troubleshooting

Velvet pile appears flattened or matted

Gently steam the area using a garment steamer or a warm iron on a very low setting with a protective cloth. Brush lightly with a soft brush to restore the pile.

Cover does not fit cushion insert well

Ensure you have selected the correct size cover for your cushion insert. Check the dimensions of both. Some slight adjustment may be needed by carefully redistributing the insert's filling.

Color appears faded

This can happen if exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods. Ensure covers are dried away from direct sun and consider rearranging furniture to avoid prolonged exposure.

Visible seam or zipper issues

Inspect the stitching and zipper. If there's a minor seam issue, a few careful stitches might resolve it. For zipper problems, try gentle manipulation; if persistent, professional repair might be needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are cushion covers designed to fit standard square cushion inserts. To set up, simply open the cover (usually via a hidden zipper closure, though not explicitly stated, this is typical for cushion covers) and insert your chosen cushion pad. Ensure the pad is evenly distributed within the cover for a neat finish.

Compatibility: These covers are designed for standard square cushion inserts. The exact dimensions should be checked against your existing cushion pads for a perfect fit, though they are generally made to accommodate common sizes.

Care: Due to the delicate nature of crushed velvet, hand washing is recommended in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid harsh scrubbing. To dry, gently squeeze out excess water and lay flat or hang to air dry away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. Do not tumble dry. Ironing is generally not advised; if necessary, use a very low heat setting with a cloth protector and iron on the reverse side, or use a garment steamer to lift the pile.
