About our footstools and pouffes

A footstool is a small piece that does a lot: somewhere to put your feet up, extra seating for guests and, with storage, a place to hide blankets and remotes. Compare footstools, pouffes and ottomans in fabric, velvet and leather.

Match the height to your sofa so it works as a footrest, and look at the top: a firm, flat surface can double as a tray table. Storage footstools usually have a lift-off lid and make a tidy use of space.

Footstool, pouffe or ottoman?

A pouffe is soft and legless, while a footstool is firmer and often has legs. An ottoman is usually larger and has a lift-up lid for storage, so it can double as seating or a low table with a tray on top.
