Caramel Velvet Luxury

The caramel velvet upholstery creates rich, warm neutral that adds sophisticated color to spaces without overwhelming existing palettes. Caramel sits beautifully between tan and bronze, offering depth and warmth that coordinates with earth tones, natural wood, cream, navy, and jewel tones. The velvet pile creates characteristic soft texture and subtle sheen that catches light throughout the day, adding visual interest and tactile luxury. The 92% polyester, 5% cotton, and 2% latex blend ensures the velvet maintains its appearance through regular use, resisting the crushing or pile flattening that can occur with natural silk velvets. The polyester provides durability and color retention, the cotton adds natural fiber softness, and the latex contributes structure and resilience.

Down Fill and Dutch Pillow Proportions

The 100% down fill provides the cloud-like softness and natural loft expected from premium pillows, conforming comfortably to bodies while maintaining substantial volume. Down's natural insulating properties create pillows that feel luxurious year-round without excessive heat retention. The 34-inch width by 26-inch height creates oversized Dutch pillow proportions perfect for large-scale furniture where standard pillows appear undersized. Dutch pillows traditionally feature rectangular shape ideal for lumbar support or horizontal placement on beds. The 5-inch depth creates plush, three-dimensional form that's comfortable for leaning while maintaining shape when displayed. The knife edge design creates clean, tailored perimeter without piping or cording, allowing the velvet and generous proportions to become the focal points. The zipper closure allows cover removal for professional cleaning or seasonal storage.

Velvet Care

Spot clean the caramel velvet with slightly damp cloth for light soiling, avoiding excessive water that could create water spots on velvet pile. For deeper cleaning, the zipper closure allows cover removal for professional dry cleaning. Brush velvet pile gently with soft brush to maintain uniform appearance and prevent crushing in high-contact areas.

Down Fill Maintenance

Fluff the 100% down pillow regularly to redistribute fill and maintain loft. The down will compress slightly with use but recovers when fluffed. Avoid sitting directly on the pillow for extended periods, which can flatten the down fill. Air the pillow occasionally in indirect sunlight to refresh the down and maintain freshness.

Long-Term Care

Store the pillow in breathable cotton bag rather than plastic if storing seasonally, as down requires air circulation to prevent mustiness. The polyester-dominant velvet blend resists fading better than natural fiber velvets but benefits from avoiding direct sunlight for extended periods. The knife edge construction remains durable through regular use without decorative trim that might loosen or fray over time.
