  • Storage Footstools – Lift the lid to reveal a roomy compartment for blankets, cushions and remotes, then use the top as a footrest, seat or impromptu coffee table. Available in fabric, faux leather and velvet across a wide range of colours.
  • Large Footstools – Over 100cm wide models that double as coffee tables. A generous padded surface ideal for stretching out or placing a tray. Cube, rectangular and circular formats in leather, fabric and velvet.
  • Fabric & Velvet Footstools – Most popular choice for living rooms. Woven, chenille, boucle and velvet finishes — all stain-treated for everyday care. Pair well with both fabric and leather sofas.

Tip: A footstool used as a coffee table should be topped with a rigid tray — a flat tray gives drinks and remotes a stable surface that an upholstered top cannot. Choose a tray approximately 50–60% of the footstool width for the best visual proportion.

FAQs on Footstools & Foot Stools

What is a footstool and pouffe?

A footstool, also known as a footrest or ottoman, is a low piece of furniture designed to provide a comfortable place to rest your feet when sitting in a chair or sofa. It may or may not have storage space inside. A pouffe, on the other hand, is a low, cushioned seat, similar to a small ottoman but often without storage, and is primarily used for additional seating or as a decorative accent.

Footstools are primarily designed for resting your feet and may come with storage. Pouffes are intended for seating and decorative purposes and typically lack storage features.

Common materials include wood, metal, upholstered fabric, leather, faux leather, and various cushioning materials like foam or polyester fiber.

While pouffes are primarily used for seating, footstools serve the dual purpose of providing a comfortable footrest when sitting in a chair or sofa.

Some footstools come with storage compartments inside, allowing you to store items like blankets, magazines, or remote controls. Pouffes typically do not have storage.

Consider the available space and the intended use. For footstools, it should be an appropriate height to comfortably rest your feet. Pouffes should be large enough for seating but not too bulky for the room.

Most footstools and pouffes are designed for indoor use. If you need outdoor furniture, look for pieces specifically made for outdoor environments.

Cleaning methods depend on the materials used. Vacuum regularly, spot clean spills promptly, and follow care instructions provided by the manufacturer.

Yes, footstools and pouffes can be used in children's rooms as seating or as a place for kids to put up their feet while reading or relaxing. Ensure they are child-friendly in terms of design and materials.

Footstools and pouffes come in various styles, including traditional, modern, minimalist, and eclectic. Designs can range from simple and understated to ornate and decorative.

Some reputable brands known for quality footstools and pouffes include Lebus Upholstery, Frank Hudson, and Ethnicraft. The best brand for you depends on your style preferences and budget.

The terms footstool and ottoman are often used interchangeably, but there is a traditional distinction. A footstool is typically a small, compact upholstered seat used primarily to rest your feet — it rarely has storage. An ottoman is usually larger, often rectangular, and commonly features a hollow interior for storage with a lift-off or hinged lid. In modern usage, storage footstools and large cube footstools are frequently called ottomans. At CFS, you will find both compact footstools and large storage ottoman footstools in our range.

The right footstool size depends on your sofa and how you plan to use it. For simply resting your feet, a compact footstool of 40–50cm square or round is sufficient for a single armchair. For a two or three-seater sofa, a footstool of 60–90cm wide gives comfortable foot room for two people. If you want to use your footstool as a coffee table, choose a larger rectangular model of 90–120cm long and add a tray to create a stable surface. Ensure the footstool height matches your sofa seat height — typically 40–45cm.

Yes — large footstools, particularly storage cube ottomans and rectangular footstools, make excellent coffee table alternatives. They are safer than glass or wood coffee tables in homes with young children, can double as extra seating when guests arrive, and the padded surface is perfect for putting your feet up. To use a footstool as a coffee table, place a sturdy rectangular tray on top to create a flat, stable surface for drinks, remotes and books. Choose a firm, well-padded footstool with a flat top for the best results.
