Frequently asked questions

  • Is an ottoman better as a footrest or as extra seating? As a footrest it stays in front of the sofa. As seating it needs a wider top and firmer feel so a guest can sit comfortably.

  • Which of your designs suit seating? Wider stools and the Chesterfield square sizes are easier to sit on. Slim pouffes work better as footrests.

  • Can one ottoman do both jobs? Yes, if it is wide enough to sit on and light enough to move as a footrest.

  • What foam firmness do you list? Our pages list 40 density foam.

  • Should a seating ottoman match sofa height? Keep the top close to the sofa seat so standing up is easy.
