Outdoor Ottoman

The outdoor ottoman is a versatile companion piece that serves triple duty as a footrest, extra seating, and occasional table in outdoor living areas. Typically lower than a standard chair and topped with a cushioned or upholstered surface, the ottoman adds comfort to lounge chairs and sofas by providing a dedicated place to put feet up—a simple luxury that transforms casual sitting into true relaxation. Outdoor ottomans come in a wide range of sizes and styles, from compact cubes that tuck under side tables when not in use to oversized rectangular models that function as benches for additional guests. Many are designed to coordinate with specific sofa or sectional collections, matching frame materials and cushion fabrics for a cohesive seating group. Some incorporate hidden storage beneath the cushioned top, creating a useful space for blankets, magazines, or outdoor accessories. The ottoman's low height and soft surface also make it a safer, more forgiving piece of furniture for families with young children who frequently climb on and off outdoor seating.
