That item has been discontinued, but here are similar options.
Ottomans and poufs fill the empty space at knee height in front of a sofa better than another table would. They take your feet, hold a tray when asked, and give a guest somewhere to sit without a chair being dragged across the floor. The range runs from upholstered squares to handwoven poufs and plush faux shearling, so settle height and texture first and leave color for last.
Why a square ottoman sits so well with a sofa
A square ottoman repeats the straight lines of a sofa, so it reads as part of the seating instead of a separate object parked in front of it. The square shapes here range from compact footstools to generous footprints with gently rounded corners and pillow tops. Those softened edges matter next to a sofa with crisp arms. They keep a low block of upholstery from looking like a crate with a cushion on it.
When a circle suits the room better
A room built from a boxy sofa and a rectangular coffee table often wants one curve somewhere low. Round ottomans supply it, and a few of them cluster in front of a sofa more easily than squares do.
Ottomans made to match the sofa
Some ottomans are built as part of a seating system, sized to the depth of its chair and corner pieces and covered in the same fabric. Modular ottomans work this way. Pushed against the seat they extend it, and pulled out they become a footrest or a low cushioned surface in the middle of the arrangement.
Lift tops and removable tops on a storage ottoman
An ottoman with storage looks like any other from across the room. Some open on a hinged lift top, and others have a removable top that comes off completely. For a longer run of hidden storage at the foot of a bed, a bench with storage does the same job at a different length. Where people go wrong is styling the lid with a tray and a stack of books. If the ottoman gets opened every evening, all of that has to come off first, and soon nobody bothers opening it. Keep the top clear, or keep the storage for things you need once a season.
Setting the height of a pouf ottoman
A pouf ottoman is usually the lowest upholstered piece in the room, so the eye uses it as a reference for everything around it. Next to an accent chair, a pouf at the right height turns it into a reading spot. Too tall and it crowds the seat cushion. Too low and it looks like a floor cushion left out. Aim for a top level with the seat or a little under it, so legs rest flat instead of rising at the knee.
Footstool or extra seat?
A footstool can be soft and forgiving, since feet do not mind sinking a little. If the piece will also seat guests, choose a firmer top with real structure under it, a foot stool that still feels steady an hour into a conversation.
Texture on a living room ottoman, from woven poufs to faux shearling
You look down onto an ottoman, so its top gets more attention than its sides. A handwoven ottoman pouf in natural fiber or a wool blend reads matte, is light enough to carry into a bedroom, and with a tray on top doubles as a small side table. Plush faux shearling works the other way, a dense pile that holds small shadows in its surface. Top grain leather sits between the two, smooth and warm toned. The handwoven pieces and soft neutral squares settle easily into an organic modern room.
Matching a small ottoman to the rug, not the sofa
A small ottoman in the sofa's exact fabric disappears into it. That suits a seating system and wastes the piece anywhere else. Choose a shade darker or lighter than the rug beneath it, and its outline stays clear from across the room.
A plain square at the right height will do more for a room than a beautiful one that sits too tall.
