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.”

I love this cushion coverLarisaIt’s soft and it made out of cotton
PLEASE make this in olive or green-gray!!!!AnonymousI love these cushion covers!!! Have bought them for years. But I am in desperate need of them in either an olive green or green-gray to coordinate with my homes accent color.
great colorSharongreat fun color
I just love velveteen!SpringI grab solid velveteen colors every time I go to IKEA. They go with EVERYTHING!
Sanela Pale Pink Cushion CoversBridgetThese worked really well for me. There a soft pink shade with a smooth velvet texture. They blended in really well with my decorative bed pillow colors.
Perfect colorShawnThis was just what we needed to replace covers on living room pillows and the color looks good in our room.
Nice color !!AichaI wanted to get a pillow that I was bright and would go with my lighting and it was perfect!! It pairs well with my dark gray sofa
Quality gone downSamanthaI bought 2 of these for my couch. One was good and the other is missing stitching so it has a small hole on the side. Probably won’t last very long.
NiceMarcelaNice to my wing chair
Great LookingMichaelPicked up four of these when I saw them on sale to replace previous covers from IKEA which were getting old. Fit is good on generic pillows and material looks good (purchased blue stripe pattern), and is of a good weight. Nice update.
Nice pillow coverSandraNice and well made but a little darker than expected but I kept it, it is a nice addition to my living room
Love theseStephanieLove pink and these did not disappoint. These are vibrant and perfect!
comfortable pilow- recommend it!RobertaThere are multiple colors to choose from- any combination will work in your space and make a nice update!
A lovely pillow coverJamieI chose this 20 inch pillow cover for the soft fabric and lovely shade of pink. I wanted it for an accent pillow for the loveseat in my relaxation room. It perfectly complements the soft colors and textures in the room, adding to the serene atmosphere.
Great throw pillow coversHWe purchased red blue and yellow Sanela covers last year. This year we are added light beige. They are well-made, hold up to the wash and have hidden zippers They make a great accent to our living room during the changing holidays.
SoftMPretty and soft and it washed in the washer and got the wrinkles out nicely. I wish it was a little more beige, it's almost white. But I really feel for the price you should get the whole pillow not just the cover, it is nice but too pricey.
19 inches, not 20, size is incorrectElizabethMy 20" pillows will not fit. Perhaps if you buy IKEA "20" inch inserts they will fit. Otherwise fine. I bought the dark gray. I would upload a photo if I could.
Great cushion coverJanetGreat color and fabric. The color is a muted gold, so it's not too bright.
Pretty ColorJillPretty color but too light for what I wanted.
Pretty ColorJillI didn’t expect this color to pop off the chairs like it does, pretty.

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.
Material
Cotton velvet like no other
The unmatched softness and opulent feel of velvet, made from 100% cotton, bring a touch of elegance to any space. Its thick pile captures the light, revealing a rich depth of colour that enhances the room. Made with resilient cotton fibres and a tight weave, this velvet is both durable and resistant to pilling, ensuring it remains fresh and beautiful for years to come. A perfect blend of style and enduring quality, crafted to stand the test of time.
