The terms pouf and ottoman are often used interchangeably, but there are some differences:
? An ottoman is typically a padded footstool or low seat with out a back, used for resting your feet or as an extra seat. Ottomans can be square, rectangular, round or cube-shaped. Poufs are usually round or Moroccan-inspired pillows used as casual seating, footrests or side tables.
? Ottomans routinely have a sturdier frame and harder padding, while poufs are very soft, often filled with feathers, cotton or wool padding. Poufs can be squishy and sink in once you sit on them.
? Ottomans will often have a harder, upholstered surface, while poufs are covered in softer fabrics like leather, suede or woven textiles. Poufs frequently have embellishments like embroidery, tassels or tufting.
? Ottomans are commonly found in living spaces as a resting place for the feet, extra seating or a coffee table substitute. Poufs are more decorative and versatile, found in bedrooms, living rooms, nurseries and patios. They are able to act as seating, ottomans, side tables or accent pieces.
? Ottomans routinely have a square, boxy silhouette, while poufs are round and full, like an overstuffed pillow. Poufs are less streamlined and formal than most ottomans.
? Ottomans tend to be on legs or a base, while poufs sit directly on the floor. Leather Poufs are designed to be moved around easily by lifting and placing them wherever needed.
So in summary, while ottomans and poufs serve a few of the same purposes, poufs are usually rounder, softer, more casual and versatile, used as decorative accents and casual seating. Ottomans are typically squarer, firmer and much more streamlined, mainly used as footrests, end tables and extra seating. However the terms are often used interchangeably in lots of areas.
