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

The terms pouf and ottoman are often used interchangeably, but there are a few differences:

? An ottoman is normally a padded footstool or low seat without a back, useful for resting the feet or as an extra seat.  Moroccan Leather Pouf  could be square, rectangular, round or cube-shaped. Poufs are usually round or Moroccan-inspired pillows used as casual seating, footrests or side tables.

? Ottomans typically 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 when 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 used in living spaces as a resting place for your feet, extra seating or a coffee table substitute. Poufs are more decorative and versatile, used in bedrooms, living spaces, nurseries and patios. They can act as seating, ottomans, side tables or accent pieces.

? Ottomans routinely 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 tend to be on legs or a base, while poufs sit on the floor. Poufs are designed to be moved around easily by lifting and placing them wherever needed.

So in summary, while ottomans and poufs serve a number of the same purposes, poufs are generally 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. However the terms are often used interchangeably in many areas.
