Can you sit on an Ottoman?

There’s nothing worse than when you find yourself in the situation that you have more guests than sofa space. This is where an Ottoman comes into play. Not only do they look great, offer somewhere for storage and give something to put your feet up on, they can act as spare seating for guests.

They can usually accommodate the weight of an average adult and nowadays most ottomans are padded and then upholstered with fabric. This means they’re fairly comfortable. Depending on the size of your Ottoman, they can then be stowed away when not in use.
