Product Insights
This 44 cm round cushion by Simons Maison offers a medium-firm, plush fill encased in a non-removable 100% cotton velvet cover that develops a lived-in patina over time. Its draped texture and muted pastel palette provide a cleaner alternative to tufted or pleated designs, breaking the grid of square pillows. Priced at 39 CAD, it undercuts competitors like Levtex Home by 20 CAD while being an exclusive Canadian design with a 180-year heritage. The main tradeoff: the sewn-shut cover requires meticulous care—spot cleaning with water-free solvent only, no heat, and weekly vacuuming to prevent pilling and maintain the drape, which may flatten in high-use areas but can be revived with regular fluffing. The recycled polyester fill retains shape, preventing sagging.

Beautiful colour. Sturdy/firm not in a bad way. Love it for my daughter’s flower themed room. Strong chemical smell though and no removable cover so don’t want it in her bed for the forseeable future. Not sure how long it will take to off gas.
