Shop Affordable Ottomans

Ottomans, footstools, and poufs are among the most versatile pieces you can bring into a room, functioning as a footrest, extra seat, decorative accent, or storage solution depending on the style you choose. Our cheap ottomans range covers three distinct product types: compact round poufs and footstools for resting your legs and filling out a seating arrangement, rectangular storage ottomans and bench styles for keeping blankets, toys, and everyday items out of sight, and larger 140cm blanket box designs suited to the foot of a bed. Materials across the range include velvet, linen fabric, faux leather, teddy, and boucle, with colours spanning neutral grey, beige, and white through to navy, green, and blush. For a focused view of storage-first designs, our storage ottomans collection is a practical starting point, and our boucle ottomans range is worth a look if texture is the priority.

Storage Ottomans, Round Poufs, and Bench Footstools: What Each Does Best

The function of an ottoman changes significantly depending on its shape and whether it includes storage, so buying the right type comes down to how you plan to use it. A compact round pouf or footstool is primarily a resting piece, suited to sitting in front of a sofa or armchair where you want something low and casual at foot height. Rectangular storage ottomans do more, providing a lidded compartment for blankets, cushions, or anything you'd otherwise leave on the floor, while the surface on top functions as a seat or extra resting spot. Bench-style designs with arms add a more structured feel and suit entryways, hallways, and the foot of a bed. In a living room where the ottoman anchors the seating zone, pairing it with a rug defines the area clearly, and our coffee tables are worth considering alongside if you want both pieces in the one arrangement.

Sizing an Ottoman to Fit the Space

Sizing matters more for ottomans than most shoppers initially account for. A round pouf or footstool sits proportionally well in front of a sofa at around 45 to 60cm in diameter: useful as a leg rest without crowding the walkway between seats. Rectangular storage ottomans vary considerably across this range, so measure the floor space where the piece will sit before ordering rather than estimating based on room size alone. For the end of a bed, matching the ottoman width to the bed frame width as closely as possible creates a balanced look, and checking the height means it won't interfere with bedding when in use. In a living room, the ottoman should leave comfortable clearance for people to pass alongside the sofas and chairs surrounding it, and a side table nearby keeps everyday items accessible without adding another large floor piece.

Ottomans at the End of the Bed and in the Bedroom

Several products in this range are clearly designed for the bedroom rather than the living room. The larger 140cm blanket box styles suit the foot of a bed, where they provide concealed storage for seasonal bedding, extra pillows, or anything that would otherwise take up wardrobe space, while also functioning as a seat when getting dressed. Smaller rectangular storage ottomans work well in a bedroom corner or at the end of a narrower bed, offering the same storage function in a more compact footprint. Velvet finishes in blush, navy, and green are a popular choice in bedroom settings where the ottoman contributes to the room's feel as much as its storage capacity. For a cohesive bedroom setup, our bedside tables pair naturally with an ottoman at the foot of the bed, and our tallboys cover the vertical storage that a bench ottoman doesn't.

Using a Storage Ottoman in Place of a Coffee Table

A flat-top storage ottoman is a practical substitute for a traditional coffee table, particularly in smaller living rooms and family homes where a hard-edged table creates more hazard than convenience. Placing a tray on top of a lidded ottoman creates a stable surface for drinks, remotes, and everyday items while keeping the storage function fully intact underneath. The key consideration is surface firmness: a more rigid-topped design holds a tray steadily, while a heavily cushioned lid is better suited to resting legs than supporting items on top. This approach works especially well when the ottoman anchors a seating zone built around a TV unit, creating a cohesive arrangement where storage, seating, and the media setup occupy the same visual space. An ottoman in this role pairs naturally with a pair of accent chairs or recliner chairs on either side, keeping the central floor piece as the room's functional anchor.

Should I choose a storage ottoman, footstool, or ottoman bench?

Choose storage if you want to hide blankets, toys, or clutter without adding another cabinet. A footstool is best if you mainly want a comfy place to rest your legs. An ottoman bench suits the end of a bed or entryway when you want seating plus a longer surface. Check the listing for storage capacity and dimensions.

What size ottoman will fit my space without blocking walkways?

Measure the area where it will sit, then leave enough clearance to walk past comfortably and open any nearby doors or drawers. If it’s going in front of a sofa, check the distance to your coffee table or TV unit so it doesn’t feel cramped. Compare your measurements to the ottoman’s width, depth, and height on the listing.

Which material is best for my home: velvet, fabric, or PU leather?

Velvet looks plush and soft but can show marks and needs gentle care. Fabric is practical and comfortable, with cleaning depending on the weave. PU leather is usually easiest to wipe down for spills and everyday mess. Always check the care instructions on the product page so you know what upkeep suits your home.

Do ottomans arrive assembled, or need quick at-home assembly?

Some ottomans arrive ready to use, while others may need quick assembly, like attaching legs. Check the product listing for packaging and assembly notes. If assembly is required, it's usually straightforward and can be done with basic hand tools. Set up on a soft surface to avoid scratching the finish, and if you'd prefer a hand, our partnership with Airtasker makes it easy to find a local professional to help.
