What's the Difference Between a leather Pouf and an Ottoman leather pouf

Moroccan Leather Pouf  pouf and ottoman are often used interchangeably, but there are several differences:

? An ottoman is normally a padded footstool or low seat without a back, used for resting your feet or being an extra seat. Ottomans can be square, rectangular, round or cube-shaped. Poufs are often 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 often have embellishments like embroidery, tassels or tufting.

? Ottomans are commonly found in living rooms as a resting place for the feet, extra seating or perhaps a coffee table substitute. Poufs tend to be more decorative and versatile, used in bedrooms, living rooms, nurseries and patios. They are able to become seating, ottomans, side tables or accent pieces.

? Ottomans typically have a square, boxy silhouette, while poufs are round and full, as an overstuffed pillow. Poufs are less streamlined and formal than most ottomans.

? Ottomans are often on legs or a base, while poufs sit directly on the ground. Poufs are meant to be moved around easily by lifting and placing them wherever needed.

So in summary, while ottomans and poufs serve some of the same purposes, poufs are usually rounder, softer, more casual and versatile, used as decorative accents and casual seating. Ottomans are usually squarer, firmer and much more streamlined, mainly utilized as footrests, end tables and extra seating. But the terms tend to be used interchangeably in many areas.
