Frequently Asked Questions
What types of ottomans are available?
Our ottomans collection includes storage ottomans with lift-top lids for hidden organization, cocktail ottomans that serve as coffee table alternatives, footstool ottomans for leg support, pouf ottomans for casual seating, tufted ottomans for classic elegance, bench ottomans for entryways or bedroom foot-of-bed placement, and nesting ottomans for flexible arrangements. Materials range from velvet, linen, and leather to performance fabrics in various colors, patterns, and finishes.
Where should I place ottomans?
Ottomans work beautifully in living rooms in front of armchairs or sofas for footrests, as coffee table alternatives in the center of seating areas, in bedrooms at the foot of beds for seating or storage, in entryways for putting on shoes, or in home offices for flexible seating. Use decorative trays on top to create stable surfaces for drinks and books. Pair with accent tables for complete living room arrangements.
Can ottomans be used as coffee tables?
Absolutely! Large ottomans work beautifully as coffee table alternatives, especially in family-friendly spaces where soft edges are safer than hard table corners. Place a large tray on top to create a stable surface for drinks, books, and decorative accessories. Storage ottomans offer the added benefit of hidden organization for blankets, magazines, or toys. This dual-purpose approach maximizes functionality while maintaining a soft, inviting aesthetic perfect for casual living rooms.
What size ottoman should I choose?
For footrests, choose ottomans roughly the same height as your chair or sofa seat (17-19 inches). For coffee table alternatives, select ottomans 16-18 inches tall and proportional to your seating area—typically two-thirds the length of your sofa. Small poufs (16-20 inches) work for accent seating or footrests. Large ottomans (36-48 inches) serve as substantial coffee tables. Measure your space and leave adequate clearance—at least 14-18 inches between ottomans and seating.
What's the difference between ottomans and poufs?
Ottomans typically have structured frames with legs, offering firmer support and often featuring storage compartments. They're more substantial furniture pieces. Poufs are usually smaller, softer, and frameless—filled with foam, beans, or fiber without legs. Poufs are lightweight and easy to move, perfect for casual seating or footrests. Ottomans provide more structured support and durability, while poufs offer flexibility and bohemian charm. Both work beautifully in modern interiors depending on your needs and aesthetic preferences.
How do I care for ottomans?
For upholstered ottomans, vacuum regularly using the upholstery attachment to remove dust and debris. Spot-clean spills immediately following fabric care codes—blot, don't rub. For leather, wipe with a damp cloth and condition every 6-12 months to prevent cracking. Rotate cushions if removable for even wear. Avoid placing in direct sunlight to prevent fading. For wood legs, dust regularly and use furniture polish occasionally. For storage ottomans, clean interior compartments periodically. Professional cleaning every 12-24 months maintains beauty and extends ottoman life.
