Corduroy Striped Pillow Cover, Hidden Zipper, for Sofa

The Sofa Looks Like a Furniture Store Catalog

Everything is clean, everything matches – and that's precisely why the room looks uninhabited. What's missing is texture that you can feel with your fingers. This wide-wale corduroy cushion cover brings it: the wales run alternately horizontally and vertically in four fields, so that each field catches the light differently and the surface gains depth instead of remaining flat.

What Distinguishes This Cover from Smooth Decorative Fabric

• Patchwork Ribs in Four Fields: Because the stripe direction changes per quadrant, the same color appears lighter or darker depending on the light incidence. Several cushions next to each other thus look coordinated instead of monotonous.
• Wide-wale Corduroy with a Soft Surface: The raised pile feels velvety, while the wide wales give the fabric stability. The cushion does not slump against the sofa back.
• Hidden Zipper: It is located in the side seam and is not visible from the outside. No metal presses against your back, and the edge remains neat because no tie band protrudes.
• Size 45 x 45 cm (17.7 x 17.7 in): The most common international decorative cushion size – you can find suitable inserts in German, British, and US stores without searching for special dimensions.
• Washable at 30 °C (86 °F): The cover can be removed and machine washed. That's why it's available separately from the insert.
• Not for the Dryer: Without heat, the corduroy pile remains upright and does not stick together to form smooth spots.

Suitable for renters who want to change something without painting or drilling, for neutrally furnished living rooms in beige and gray, for reading nooks with armchairs and blankets, and for bedrooms where a few cushions lie on the bed during the day.

Does the Corduroy Lose Its Texture After Washing?

The pile lays down when washed – it straightens up again when drying, as long as no heat is involved. Wash the cover inside out at 30 °C (86 °F), let it air dry, and then smooth the wales by hand in the direction of the stripes. No dryer, no bleach. Use an insert that is about 2 cm (0.8 in) larger than the cover – then the corners will stand out plumply instead of falling limply inwards.

Your living room will then no longer look like a catalog, but like someone who actually lives there.
