Understanding Cushion Styles and Finishes available through Sophie Conran

by Sophie Conran 30 Jun 2025

When choosing a sofa, it’s easy to focus on fabric and colour—but one often-overlooked detail that can have a big impact on the overall look and feel of your sofa is the cushion style. Whether you’re drawn to a more relaxed or refined aesthetic, understanding the differences between knife edge and box edge cushions—as well as the subtle effect of piped vs welted finishes—can help you make a more informed and personal design choice.

Knife Edge Cushions

Knife edge cushions offer a casual or relaxed aesthetic with a single welt/seam, ideal for those seeking a contemporary and understated vibe in their home decor.

Best suited for:

Sleek and simple design

Modern and contemporary appeal
More relaxed and informal interiors

Box Edge Cushions

Box edge cushions come with two welts/seams providing a more defined and formal appearance. This style adds a touch of tradition to any room, making it an excellent choice for those who prefer a classic and sophisticated look.

Best suited for:

Rooms with a more formal and structured appearance

Traditional and elegant settings

Piped vs Welted Finish

Once you've decided on your cushion shape, the next design choice to consider is whether you'd prefer a piped or welted finish. This refers to the seam detail that runs along the cushion edges—and while it may seem minor, it can affect the overall visual language of the sofa.

Piped Finish

A piped finish features a tight, rounded cord inserted into the seam of the cushion. It adds subtle structure and definition, and is typically associated with a more formal or traditional look. It can be seen on sofas like the Salthrop, where the cushion edges and base appear more tailored and sculptural. Having this finish, would make your sofa feel neater and more tidy as the piped finish is very compact.

Welted Finish

A welted finish, by contrast, is flatter and extends about 1cm beyond the cushion, offering a more relaxed and contemporary appearance. This is the standard finish you’ll see on many of our sofa styles, including the Coco, where the cushions and base have a more laid-back feel with less visible edge definition.

No Piping or Welting

Some of our sofas, such as the Felix Big Back, are designed with no piping or welting at all, giving them an especially minimal and clean look. This finish removes any extra edge detail, resulting in a very tidy and understated appearance. It’s ideal for customers who prefer a simple, modern aesthetic where the shape and fabric take centre stage without additional trimming.

Best suited for:

Minimalist interiors
A clean and contemporary aesthetic
Those who prefer an unfussy, seamless finish

Customising Your Sofa

Both cushion styles are available across many of our made-to-order sofas, and finishes can be tailored to suit your preferences. For example, if you love the shape of the Coco sofa but want it to feel more formal, you can opt for a box edge cushion with a piped finish. Conversely, if you’re looking for something clean and relaxed, a knife edge cushion with welted seams might be ideal.

As always, the best option will come down to your personal taste, how you use your space, and the overall atmosphere you want to create.

If you’d like further guidance on cushion styles or finishes, please feel free to get in touch with our team at sofas@sophieconran.com.

For Products from our Standard Furniture Range you have the right to amend or cancel your order up to 7 days after the original order date.

Where possible, refunds will be made using the same means of payment as you used to purchase the relevant Products. In the case of card payments, refunds will be made to the original card of purchase. 10.4. Products must be returned to us in a saleable condition and we reserve the right to make reasonable deductions from the amount refunded to you if there are signs of wear and/or damage to the Products. All returned Products will be inspected in our warehouse and, if deemed to be damaged or sullied, we will charge you a fee to reflect the amount by which the value of the Products has been diminished. In the case of furniture, it should be noted that any marks on fabric covers, legs or any part of the furniture will be assessed and charged for at replacement value. It is therefore very important that any item of furniture you wish to return is not used and is covered with protective packaging as soon as possible. Lighting must be returned in its original packaging to avoid damage. 10.5. If you order Products and you arrange for the Products to be shipped to a location outside the United Kingdom or Republic of Ireland, clauses 10.2 and 10.5 are modified in that you still have the right to return the Products but it is your responsibility to arrange for and pay for the Products to be shipped back to the United Kingdom mainland or Republic of Ireland and stored there at your cost until the time that we have agreed to collect them. The cost of returns from countries such as the US, Canada, Mainland Europe or any other country outside the UK will be the responsibility of the buyer. We will collect the Products from any address in the United Kingdom mainland or Republic of Ireland (for example, a relative’s house or a shipping and storage facility); unfortunately, we cannot wait at a port to collect the Products directly from any vessel. 10.6. If you wish to exercise your right to cancel a Furniture Product order please email us at customerqueries@sophieconran.com 10.8. This clause 10 does not affect your statutory rights. 11. Customer Own Materials on Furniture 11.1. This clause 11 applies to any fabric (or other item) that you supply to us or which you specify and is not on our Website (‘Customer Own Material’). We refer to any Product that, at your request, we make with a Customer Own Material as a ‘Customer Own Material Product’. Customer Own Material meterage quotes may vary depending on pattern repeat in fabric. 11.2. We may refuse to use any Customer Own Material which we consider to be unsuitable. 11.3. You agree to ensure that your Customer Own Material is in all respects safe and suitable for application in the Product. 11.4. Customer Own Materials will become owned by us when we receive them; ownership in any of them which we return to you (whether unused or incorporated in the Product) will revert to you upon delivery to you. 11.5. We may cut, work on and otherwise treat and deal with your Customer Own Materials as we consider appropriate in the course of making the Product and (unless you state in writing with your order that surplus should be returned to you) we may use or dispose of excess fabric or items as we think fit. 11.6. Lead times for bespoke products will be confirmed after customer own material has been received by the manufacturer. 12. Guarantees 12.1. Subject to the remainder of this clause 11 and clause 13 (Our Liability), we provide the following guarantees (‘Guarantees’): 12.1.1. Our furniture carries a 25 years wooden frame construction guarantee against faulty workmanship and/or faulty materials. Exceptions to this are: 12.1.1.2 Cushion fillings and coverings and upholstery on our Products are guaranteed for two years from the date of delivery except that we do not provide any guarantee for fabric (or other items) supplied at your specification by yourself or a third party, nor in respect of any defect in Products caused by any defect in, failure of or unsuitability of any fabric or other items so supplied. 12.2. Our Guarantees are limited to Products sold and retained in the United Kingdom or Republic of Ireland and used solely for non-commercial purposes. 12.3. Our Guarantees do not cover fair wear and tear, neglect, abuse or misuse of your Products (including failure to follow any Product care instructions that we provide), loss or damage (including rusting and corrosion) due to unreasonable exposure to water or weather; loss or damage due to fire, smoke, explosion, lightning, sunlight, infestation by animals or boring insects, theft, accidental damage or loss or damage caused by a third party. 12.4. If you wish to make a claim under our Guarantees, please contact us by e-mail at customerqueries@sophieconran.com. 12.5. Where defective Products are covered by one of our Guarantees, we will endeavour to repair them free of charge. If a repair is not possible you will be offered a replacement and only if a suitable replacement is not available will you be offered a refund. Where possible, refunds will be made using the same means of payment as you used to purchase the relevant Products. In the case of card payments, refunds will be made to the original card of purchase. 12.6. Our Guarantees may not be assigned to a third party. 12.7. The law gives you certain statutory rights for the repair, exchange or refund of faulty products. These rights are not affected by this clause 12. 13. Fabrics 13.1. Fabric batches may vary. The majority of our fabrics are created from natural materials, and thus, unlike man made products, there can be slight variations between batches. The most common variation is that of colour – although the actual variation is often almost negligible or very slight. Some fabrics are more susceptible to this than others. 13.2. Whilst we guarantee to make all your orders from the same batch, we cannot guarantee that subsequent orders will match your original order. 13.3. Because of the nature of the materials used, any finishes that are applied to the exterior of our Products may alter the final colour and feel of the fabric. 13.4. We cannot accept any responsibility for fading or discolouration caused by exposure to direct or indirect sunlight. Sunlight affects different fabrics in different ways, but sunlight, whether direct or indirect, will nevertheless always affect fabric colour. Darker fabrics, because they have further to fall, are likely to discolour and fade more. Different fabrics, dark or light are liable to fade or discolour at different rates. 13.5. After delivery, we cannot accept any responsibility for fading or discolouration, due to exposure or contact with any chemicals sprayed nearby or applied directly. Please also note that there are certain aerosol sprays, most particularly odour neutralisers and nicotine neutralisers, which contain chemicals that can react with fabric dyes (the cans should warn against spraying close to upholstery without first covering it.. 13.6. We recommend that you dry clean all removable covers that require dry cleaning. 13.7. Blot dry any wet spillages with a clean dry cloth as soon as possible. Do not use a wet cloth or rub the fabric. 14. Our liability 14.1 Sophie Conran Shop does not look to exclude or limit liability for personal injury or death arising from its negligence or that of its employees, agents, members or directors or for any misrepresentation that is fraudulent. 14.2 To the utmost extent allowed by law and save as provided above, neither www.sophieconran.com nor any linked company shall be liable to you by reason of any representation, or any implied condition, guarantee, or other term, or any duty at common law, or under the express terms of the contract, or in negligence (whether on the part of www.sophieconran.com or any of its employees, agents, members or directors or otherwise) for any indirect special or resultant loss or damage (including but not limited to loss of profit or loss of saving), expenses, costs, or other claims for compensation whatsoever which arise out of or in connection with the use of the www.sophieconran.com website, the supply of the products or their use of resale by you). 14.3 These limitations of liability, as outlined here, shall apply equally for the benefit of www.sophieconran.com and any other linked company as if references to www.sophieconran.com included references to each linked company. 14.4 Whilst we try and do everything reasonable to try and keep the information on this website up-to-date and correct, www.sophieconran.com do not give any warranty to its completeness or correctness and www.sophieconran.com cannot be held responsible for any omissions, errors or for any resulting implications from the use of this information. 14.5 www.sophieconran.com make all reasonable effort to ensure a reliable and fast service but we do not guarantee that you that your use of this website will be free from interruption or errors and cannot be held responsible for any disruption, loss of or corruption of any material in transit, or loss of or corruption of material or data when downloaded onto computer systems. 14.6 In addition, www.sophieconran.com cannot be held responsible or liable for your use of any websites that are accessible from this website as we do not have any control or responsibility for these.
