15 Best Pouffes (Review) In 2021

Designed to be tough enough to use as extra seating, the Casa Platino – Hand Knitted Cable Style Dori Pouf is the answer to those with a low budget. Our best choice is a great extra seat for the house offering a casual style and supplementing any style of decor. The Unclutterer team loves the cable knit style and the color choices are fairly muted but for a contrasting choice, the blue really pops. We like that it’s almost a beanbag/pouf ottoman crossover although it’s sturdy and not fluid like a traditional bean bag. A lovely round pouf at a good price.

In vogue and on trend, this natural beauty is a good size and a nice pouf to show off in any house or home. The genuine natural jute is braided but still retains a simple style. The Signature Design by Ashley – Sweed Valley Pouf is sturdy and wide enough to sit on or use as a foot stool – it’s filled with quite a densely packed polystyrene bead and we think it’s ideal for the garden room, lounge or bedroom. Put the pouf in a clean corner or in pride of place so it’s handy when you need it. Be aware that if yours is supplied with a zipper, it is a false one as the natural cover isn’t designed to be washed so spot clean only but it does allow you to add extra stuffing if you want to make it even more robust.

Constructed with polypropylene resin the Keter Urban Knit Pouf – 3 piece set is ideal for outdoors and the table is a fabulous added extra. All three pieces come in a choice of muted neutral colors and the poufs are in a contrasting but complementary color to the table. We love the table as it has a huge variety of uses. You can use it as a blanket box or put your ice bag in there for serving drinks or use it as a storage bin – it has a 10-gallon capacity – or pop the lid on and use it as extra seating.

These pieces make excellent outdoor accessories and should be easy to clean with a hose every couple of months to get rid of dust. We don’t recommend leaving out in the weather though as moss easily collects so if you don’t have room to store them we’d use a waterproof cover when they’re not in use.

This is the brown leather (other colors available) Moroccan chic pouf and it would actually be a shame to only use it to put your feet up on. The Marrakesh Gallery Moroccan Pouf is well made and the goatskin is a long-lasting alternative to other materials and it would look great in any area of the house. Use it as a portable seat or simply as a unique and decorative accessory to enhance exotic Marrakesh- style decor.

It’s a good size for even small spaces as it’s just 20 inches in diameter and the height is ideal if you need to store it under a chair or piece of furniture. Underneath the pouf is a strong zipper that will keep the stuffing in beautifully and if you’re unsure how to stuff a pouf cover it does come with instructions and ideas of what to use. With the gorgeous stitching and well-processed leather, we chose this as our best value and we found it at just under $64 plus shipping.

Visitors will be naturally impressed with the Signature Design by Ashley – Absalom Pouf which will sit proudly in any room. It comes well stuffed and holds its shape well although, as with anything fabric designed to be sat on or styled as a foot rest, it can become misshapen over time so just needs a ‘floof’ every now and then! The textured cotton and hemp fabric mix means you won’t feel like you’re sliding off it and you can easily spot clean it and lightly vacuum it when needed.

This cube pouf comes from REDEARTH and comes in a good choice of different colors and patterns to accessorize any room. Measuring a good 20 inches high, wide and deep it’s a nice tidy size to keep in any space. We tried the mud cloth mustard simply because the color is vibrant and the print is almost an aztec style although the poufs are hand made in India. We like that the cover can be carefully hand-washed although spot clean is best rather than removing the cover and having to restuff it every time there’s a light spill on it.

The pouf will be supplied unstuffed but you can use all sorts of things to fill it like old scraps of cloth, towel, and sheets – that will save hassle trying to get polystyrene beans into it and will help make it much more dense and shapely. Top tip – you could use it to cover an existing pouf of the same shape although shape may alter an inch more or less so be creative!

The Signature Design by Ashley – Natural Woolen Pouf is soft and durable and comes already stuffed with a dense filling of polystyrene so can be used as a footrest or as trendy extra seating. The rounded design keeps its shape and we think it’s brilliant for baby’s or kid’s rooms where you can sit comfortably at their height – or it could simply be used to accessorize any room in the house.

It is pretty lightweight and would even be good to keep it next to the sofa to put your feet up when you’re ready to relax. This pouf isn’t available in anything other than natural (at the time of reviewing) so you might prefer to look at the rest of our review list if you prefer a contrasting color to your current decor.

The Décor Therapy Bench is made with genuine natural jute which gives off a lovely braided and natural style. It is round and low and makes a great place to seat yourself low, perhaps when playing with the kids, or to set your feet on when you’re ready to chill out. Jute is hard-wearing so we would expect this to last years. It might not be ideal to sit on with shorts or thin pants as jute is, of course, quite a rough material but you could combat this by popping a circular and thin pad on top before you sit down, this will help reduce wear too.

We like the idea of getting two to put on either side of your favorite bedroom chair or sofa, or for putting next to your coffee table so they’re handy to move into place when needed. Spot clean with a slightly damp cloth and vacuum with the soft attachment.

If you’re looking for simple yet modern poufs the Flash Furniture Barrington Upholstered Pouf is just that. Available in both neutral and vibrant colors you can choose to go subtle or add a splash to supplement your room decor. The interior of this pouf has been constructed with wood so it won’t lose its shape and it’s firm enough to sit on or even use as a casual table. It’s a good height so sits perfectly next to a sofa or chair and the small diameter means it doesn’t have a large footprint so it’s perfect for small spaces or tucking away when you don’t need it. You might like that this has the best percentage of positive reviews from all of those we tested.

The blue page Stripe Morocco Decorative Pouf is one of those stand-out products – beautifully crafted and depending on how much stuffing you decide to fill it with you can decide whether it’s ultra-firm or squishy and cute. We thought this was so tasteful and great in any room whether you have contemporary or classic decor and the tassels just add that extra bit of fluf to your pouf. This would go with Boho chic or will accessorize a room with elegant design so it really is versatile. The zipper feels strong enough that we weren’t worried about it opening and spilling out the filling.

Take it outside to the deck in dry weather to use as an extra seat or put it in the space next to your coffee table – the choice is yours. You could even use it as a cover for an existing pouf ottoman of a similar size.

Make yourself comfortable with the Christopher Knight Home Agatha Knitted Cotton Pouf which is soft yet firm enough to perch your butt or feet on. The cable knit design makes it look and feel handmade and it’s so lightweight that the kids will love to use it too yet it won’t roll over too easily. It’s great for making casual extra seating areas and looks good next to a coffee table or your favorite chair. It has a simple shape and design and comes in just one color but it’s subtle enough to fit in with any decor without standing out too much.

If you are looking for a genuine brown leather pouf to use as extra seating or to rest your legs and feet then the ArtOuarzazate Stuffed Moroccan Square Pouf is a fabulous choice. We love the bold cube shape and that it is very well made. The leather is soft yet long-lasting and the visible seams and distressed leather help it to not look manufactured as you bought it from Walmart. The base is cotton and it does have a zipper so that you can add as much or as little filling as you want to the stuffing it comes with, so you can make it firmer as the filling it comes with is only sufficient enough to keep it squishy (for packing purposes).

For a real Boho-chic/vintage/hippy feel this is one of the new-looks-old-pieces from Traditional India that goes neatly on the floor and is great as a little footstool and loved by those seeking a standout accessory. The Traditional India – Indian Handmade Poufs’ upholstery is natural cotton with patchwork detail and embroidery weaved through it. We love the idea of getting a pair if only just to add color to your home space. Use your poufs as extra seating in your living room or outside under a covered deck for entertaining, festival style. In brief, it’s cheerful and arty!

The Foreign Affairs Square Canvas Leather Pouf is a great extra seat and feels sturdy although we weren’t sure whether it would keep its shape for too long. The description lacked fine detail but the detail on this cube-shaped pouf in leather and canvas is pleasant if not trying to resemble luggage! Perhaps the detail is too much for some especially if you prefer the detail to be on the fabric and particularly if you are looking for a more natural or traditional style. All in all, it’s pretty much a canvas/leather pouf of a reasonable size.

As far as existing reviews go, this is a fairly new product from Foreign Affairs whose products include some great original looking items so we weren’t surprised this was quite a unique design.

The most expensive on our list makes our premium pick and is certainly for those who want to add style and colorful features to a room or den. The Décor Therapy Quinn Pouf provides low seating and complements most furniture whether you have opted for Mexican or tex-mex style throughout the home or are enhancing an otherwise plain space with a bit of color and vibrant pattern.

The wool knit upper and false fur seat give it a warming look and feel and it’s cozy on your toes and butt too! While Decor Therapy isn’t exclusively known for poufs and seating, the two that we have reviewed complement the furniture pieces that they supply.
