What is the difference between an ottoman and a pouf?
1 Answer
The difference between an ottoman and a pouf comes down to construction. An ottoman usually has a sturdy inner frame made of wood or metal in addition to padding and upholstery. On the other hand, a pouf usually consists of a fabric or leather cover stuffed with fiber filling. As a result, poufs tend to be softer and more flexible.
