The pouf ottoman is simply among the most versatile and comfortable workhorse furniture pieces you can add to your home.

Isn’t it nice to sit back on the couch, relax, and put up your feet after a long day at work? But wait, something’s missing! You have nothing on which to rest your weary feet. That’s why you need a pouf ottoman, which is simply the greatest piece of furniture ever invented. Not only can it serve as a pedestal on which to rest your tired toes, but it works great as extra seating for guests, adds some comfortable fun in the nursery, and can even be used on which to prop drinks and snacks when entertaining or just watching TV.  Cats love them too.

Perfect Pouf Ottomans

Bubble Knit Ottoman – Who wouldn’t love a soft and squishy knit ottoman? Plus, the neutral color is a great fit for any room. Rest your feet or use them as extra seating that can be stacked in the corner until needed. They can also be tucked under a console or high sofa table when not in use.

Madison Park Crosby Ottoman – And for something completely different, try this mid-century, button tufted ottoman that features a hidden storage compartment. It’s made with high density foam, so it’s sure to be soft, yet sturdy enough to sit on.

Everett Pouf  – This exotic-influenced quatrefoil pouf ottoman in green and white is a delicious way to add pattern to your spaces. It’s made with a durable dhurrie wool cover that would hold up well to regular use as well.

Recycled Rag Pouf – Try a recycled colorful pouf ottoman like this lovely example. It’s made from strips of recycled cotton and polyester that have been handwoven into a chunky weave. It’s densely filled too, so it can also double as seating or as a snack table.

Indoor/Outdoor Striped Pouf – And because you may want to put your feet up while sitting on the deck, here’s a practical choice that can be used inside or outside. It comes in many different colorways to match your decor.
