But how do you make that fine, velvety pile happen? “Velvet is crafted using a special technique where two layers of fabric are woven at the same time,” Åsa explains. “An extra thread – the pile thread – runs between them, and when the finished layers are separated, the soft, raised surface appears.” The density and height of the pile depend on the thickness and length of the thread, as well as how closely the fabric is woven. “Its dense, thick quality makes velvet ideal for interior design. A velvet curtain not only helps dampen sound and insulate against cold and heat, but it also offers that distinctive, elegant drape – no wonder it’s so loved on theatre stages.”

Great quality and textureStephanieLove the sanela line. We have several Senela pillow covers and a pair of curtains. Great quality and everyone in home loves the feel of the covers when hanging out on the couch (usually the pillow everyone fights over). I decide to get this particular one to replace covers on my larger throw pillows that came with couch (non ikea) it was a perfect fit but this color just did not go with my color palette. I sadly returned but will be looking at the other color options and repurchase Sanela.
Affordable luxuryJenniferI bought these in another color & love how they can be machine washed. Even after washing the velvet retains its softness & nap. A similar item costs $40-60 elsewhere
Soft and LuxuriousEmilyThis pillow cover is amazingly soft and adds the perfect touch to my bedding set. The velvet texture seems more luxurious than a normal cotton fabric.

High quality and a bargain AlvinVery high-end looking, easy to take care of, and really love the colors and the natural fibers. I’ve already bought a few more in a different size and colors.
Bought as is looks great Anonymous reviewerI was lucky to get this in the As Is section. It fit my couch pillow perfectly. Just wish there had been 2 of them. Looks very nice and is very soft.
Best High End Pillow CoverMichelleThis cover feels and looks like it came from a high end retailer. The quality is superior as it washes and dries beautifully and the zipper is easy, well sown in and never gets caught in the fabric.
Soft and cleanableBruceVelour-like feel, easy to toss into clothes washer, and a good background color. Really a good buy!

Story
Velvet – a gentle tale
Velvet has had a long and winding journey. Once woven from pure silk in ancient China, it later graced Europe’s Renaissance palaces – a fabric so valuable that only the wealthy and powerful could afford it. Today, velvet is commonly made from cotton but remains cherished for the smooth and timeless feeling it brings to our homes. Just like our cushions and curtains in the SANELA series.
”When velvet began to be made from cotton during Europe’s industrialization, the fabric became accessible to many more people, all while keeping its smooth surface and beautiful drape,” says Åsa Hederberg, who works with our textiles. “Today, we also see velvet made from polyester, which makes it extra hard-wearing and especially suitable for upholstery.”
The secret of velvet
Timeless and easy to combine
The SANDELA series is a longstanding classic, occasionally updated with new colours – always coordinated with the other textiles. “Our velvet cushions and curtains serve as a foundation you can build on with other textiles. You might want to add patterns or something with more texture to create a personal and lively interior.” Velvet has made its way from royal palaces to modern homes – becoming a much-loved everyday luxury.
