Twenty long covers, 40 × 100 cm (16 × 39 in), in silk-cotton ikat — most of it 70 per cent silk shoyi, the glossiest of the flat ikats — for the head of a bed, the back of a daybed or a long bench, $28 to $45. One loom-width high and a metre long, cut with the pattern running the full length; concealed zip along the side; no insert, so fit a 45 × 100 cm bolster roll. The bolish, the long cushion along the wall, is the oldest cushion shape in an Uzbek room, and this is its cover.

Before sofas, an Uzbek room was floor, felt and cushions: korpacha mats along the walls and long bolsters, bolish, behind the back, in whatever ikat the house could afford. A metre-long cover is that shape brought to a bed or a daybed, and the 1960s photograph post on the uzbekalive blog shows the arrangement as it was.
A 45 × 100 cm feather-wrapped foam roll fills a 40 × 100 cm cover properly; a polyester roll will do. The shoyi covers should be dry-cleaned or hand-washed at 30 °C with no wringing, dried flat, ironed on the reverse; remove the insert first. Insert sizes for every shape are on the Cushions page.
Hotels take these for bed runners and window seats; tell us the count and we will match dyelots and sew to other lengths.
