Product Insights
The Simons Maison Billiards Ball Velvety Knit Cushion (40 cm diameter, 29 CAD) is an exclusive designer-validated sphere-trend piece that serves as a statement anchor in pillow arrangements, softening rectilinear furniture and room lines. Its round shape, validated as a designer staple at the 2025 Kips Bay Show House, can be mixed with square pillows for longevity beyond the trend. However, the velvety knit requires maintenance with a fabric shaver and sticky tape to control pilling and lint, and while the 100% recycled polyester fill offers a plush feel for lounging, the spherical shape limits support for extended sitting.

Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Billiards Ball Velvety Knit Cushion 40 Cm In Diameter: Choose this if you want a playful, statement decor piece: a round Simons Maison exclusive (designed in Canada) shaped and printed like the black billiards 8-ball, with raised white tufted appliques and a soft velvety knit finish in black and white. It measures about 15.75 inches (40 cm) in diameter with a 100% polyester cover and 100% recycled polyester fill. Note that a stitched seam around the perimeter appears slightly puckered, and the whimsical look is the brand's intended decor effect rather than a reported customer outcome.[1,2,3] | Soft Velvet Drape Round Cushion 44 Cm In Diameter: Choose this if you want a round, decorative accent cushion with a soft velvet look: it has a 100% cotton velvety cover with a draped, sunburst-like pleat design gathered at a central covered button and a piped edge, filled with 100% recycled polyester. One reviewer theme describes the cushioning as firm yet not uncomfortably hard, and the velvet fabric as holding its plump shape over time. Note that it comes in one size, roughly 17.25 inches (44 cm) in diameter, and must be spot cleaned only.[4,5] | Daisy High-Pile Fleece Cushion 50 Cm In Diameter: Choose this if you want a playful, retro daisy accent piece: a 50 cm (20 inch) round, low-profile cushion in soft high-pile fleece with a mustard yellow center and cream petals, with 100% polyester cover and recycled polyester filling. Reviewers praise its cloud-like softness for snuggling, reading nooks, movie nights, and even as a cat's curl-up spot, and say the cheerful flower shape often exceeds photo expectations. Note it is not overstuffed and is reportedly not thick enough for head support, so treat it as a decorative accent or backrest rather than a primary pillow.[6] |
