Plain velvet is one of the most consistently ordered cushion cover fabrics in the UK, and the reason is straightforward: it works with almost everything. The smooth Grade A pile sits cleanly against corduroy, linen, knitted fabrics and printed covers without competing. It is the foundation piece in a layered sofa arrangement — the cover you choose first and build around.
What makes Grade A velvet worth specifying over cheaper alternatives is the consistency of the pile. Low-grade velvet has irregular pile heights that catch differently under light, creating a patchy, uneven appearance that becomes more visible as the fabric wears. Grade A velvet has uniform pile height and density throughout, which means the light-reflecting quality stays consistent — the subtle shift in tone as the cover moves under daylight is the quality you are paying for and it holds throughout the life of the product.
The 30x50cm size is the standard rectangular lumbar size — correct for placing in front of 45x45cm square cushions on a sofa, or across the foot of a bed alongside a square throw cushion. The concealed zip sits flush on the reverse so it is not visible in use. Remove the cover for machine washing at 30°C, turned inside out. Air dry only.
Ten colours across the range mean it is practical to coordinate or contrast across a room without reordering a different product line. Insert not included — pair with a pair with one of our 30x50cm cushion pads — made in-house in Bolton, virgin conjugate hollowfibre fill with a breathable Corovin outer for a well-filled result.
These are cover-only — for guidance on choosing the right insert size, including when to size up for a fuller finish, see our cushion pad size guide.

FAQs
What is the difference between plain velvet and piped velvet cushion covers?
Plain velvet has a clean, unfussy finish with no trim — versatile across almost any interior style. Piped velvet has a narrow fabric-covered cord sewn around the perimeter, giving it a sharper, more structured appearance. Piped is the standard choice for hotel rooms and hospitality settings; plain is more flexible for home use and mixed-fabric arrangements.
Is this cover-only or does it include an insert?
Cover only. For a firm, well-filled result we recommend a pair with one of our 30x50cm cushion pads — made in-house in the UK. For a slightly fuller, plumper finish — particularly in a hospitality setting — a pad around 33x53cm inside the 30x50cm cover creates a firmer, more upright cushion.
Can velvet cushion covers be machine washed?
Yes. Wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle, turned inside out. Air dry — do not tumble dry, as heat damages the velvet pile. Use a soft-bristled brush to restore the pile direction after washing if needed. A garment steamer removes creases without damaging the surface.
How many colours are available in the 30x50cm plain velvet range?
Ten: wine red, orange, dark blue, dark green, dark grey, light grey, gold, water blue, yellow and light green.
Are these suitable for wholesale or trade purchase?
Yes. Available to retail and trade buyers with no minimum order. Bulk pricing is available at higher quantities. Call 01204 896528 for trade pricing on larger volumes.
What other velvet cushion covers are available in this size?
The same 30x50cm size is also available in a piped velvet version with an 11-colour range including baby pink and light blue. Pompom velvet is available in the 45x45cm square size.
