Velvet cushion covers in the lumbar shape — long and rectangular rather than square. The shape does a job: placed at the small of the back on a sofa or armchair, a lumbar cushion supports the lower spine, and velvet is the fabric that makes it look like a design decision rather than a physiotherapy aid.

Buying guide
Measure your lumbar insert before ordering, since these sizes vary far more than squares do. Use the cushion at the small of your back, not behind your shoulders — that is where it actually helps. Vacuum velvet with a soft brush attachment rather than washing frequently, and keep it out of long direct sun.
How it compares
Against a square velvet cover, the lumbar shape supports the back and breaks up a row of squares visually. Against cotton lumbar covers, velvet gives richer colour and shows dust more. Against a full cushion, a cover lets you keep your insert.
