Frequently Asked Questions

What is an ottoman used for?

An ottoman can work as a footrest, occasional seat or styling piece beside a sofa or armchair. Larger ottomans can also extend the usable area of a modular lounge. The right use depends on its height, firmness, upholstery and construction.

What is the difference between an ottoman and a footstool?

The terms overlap, but an ottoman is often larger and more substantial. A footstool is mainly designed to support your feet, while an ottoman may also be used for occasional seating or as part of a coordinated lounge arrangement.

How high should an ottoman be compared with a sofa?

For comfortable use as a footrest, an ottoman usually works best close to the sofa's seat height or slightly lower. If it is significantly taller, your legs may sit at an awkward angle. Compare both measurements before ordering.

Can an ottoman be used as a coffee table?

A firm, stable ottoman can work as a soft coffee-table alternative when used with a solid tray for drinks and small objects. Avoid placing hot, wet or unstable items directly on upholstery, and check that the ottoman is designed to support the intended use.

Can an ottoman be used as extra seating?

Many sturdy ottomans can provide occasional seating, but suitability depends on the frame and weight capacity of the specific product. If extra seating is a priority, check the product information or ask the retailer before using it regularly as a seat.

Should an ottoman match the sofa?

It does not have to. Matching upholstery creates a coordinated lounge suite, while a contrasting texture, colour or shape can make the ottoman feel like a deliberate accent. Keep the height and overall scale compatible with the sofa.
