"An ottoman is a form of couch that usually has a head but no back, although sometimes it has neither. It may have square or semicircular ends, and as a rule it is what upholsterers call "overstuffed", meaning no wood is visible. It may be used as a stool, footstool or as an alternative to a sofa. Ottomans are often sold as coordinating furniture with armchairs or gliders. An ottoman can also be used as and called a "footstool", tuffet, hassock, or pouffe.[10] "Ottoman" may also denote an upholstered seat without a back or arms, but one that usually serves as storage, with the seat hinged to form a lid." - (en.wikipedia.org 18.12.2020)
