POUFFES
A pouffe is one of those pieces of furniture that often ends up serving more purposes than you originally imagined. The same goes for our leather pommel horse benches and stools, which can just as easily find a place in the hallway, at the foot of the bed, in a fitting room or wherever you suddenly need an extra seat. Here, you'll find pouffes and leather seating in different sizes and shapes, with leather as the common thread throughout the collection. Our leather pouffes and leather benches are particularly popular because they combine comfort, character and durability. They fit beautifully into living rooms, hotel lounges, cafés, shops and offices where flexible seating with a little extra personality is needed.

How to choose the right pouffe
The choice depends first and foremost on how you plan to use your pouffe. Some people choose a pouffe as an extra seat, while others use it as a leather footstool, footrest or an alternative to a small side table.
The collection also includes leather benches and pommel horse-inspired seating in different sizes. While classic pouffes are typically low and soft in appearance, these leather seats are often slightly taller and firmer. This makes them ideal as a small leather bench, stool or extra seat in the hallway, bedroom, fitting room or lounge area.
A few simple rules of thumb:
- A round leather pouf works well as flexible extra seating
- A leather pouffe fits beautifully into both rustic and classic interiors
- Larger pouffes are ideal for lounges and living spaces
- A low pouffe makes a great leather footstool next to a sofa or armchair
- Several pouffes grouped together can create an informal seating area
- A pommel horse bench works well as a small bench, stool or extra seat
When choosing a pouffe or leather bench, it's therefore a good idea to think about how you'll use it before deciding on its shape.
Leather pouffes and benches with character and durability
A leather pouffe or upholstered bench often becomes even more attractive with age. Leather is a natural material that develops greater depth and personality through use. Small signs of wear and natural variations aren't something to hide. They're part of the charm.
That's why many people choose leather pouffes and benches:
- Soft and comfortable seating
- A natural, warm appearance
- Durable material with a long lifespan
- A beautiful patina that develops over time
- Easy to combine with wood, metal and textiles
It's precisely these natural variations in leather that make each leather pouffe or bench slightly different from the next.
More than just an extra seat
A pouffe or leather bench has more uses than most people realise. Some use them as footstools, others as extra seating, and many end up using them for a bit of everything.
They're often used as:
- A footstool next to the sofa
- Extra seating when guests come over
- A small surface for books and magazines
- A base for a tray with candle holders or decorations
- An alternative to a small side table
- A practical seat in the hallway
Many people also choose to pair a pouffe with a lounge chair. Here, the pouffe works as a footrest, allowing you to lean back a little further and relax. This combination is popular in private homes, hotel lounges, offices and cafés where comfort is an important part of the interior.
The smaller pommel horse-inspired leather stools often work well as compact seats or small display plinths, while the longer models can be used as leather benches at the foot of a bed, along a wall or as extra seating around a table.
It's this flexibility that makes both pouffes and leather benches so popular. If you're looking for a proper bench, you can also explore our selection of raw and rustic benches. If you need something smaller and more compact, you'll find a variety of stools in our collection too.
Pouffes and leather benches for cafés, shops and lounges
In commercial interiors, pouffes and leather benches are often chosen because they create a more relaxed atmosphere than traditional chairs and armchairs.
In shops, they're used near fitting rooms or as part of the overall customer experience. In hotels and offices, they help create informal seating areas where guests and employees can sit down for a moment. In cafés and restaurants, they're often used to soften the interior and add variety to the seating arrangements.
One of their main advantages is that they're easy to move around when needs change. At the same time, the leather adds warmth, patina and character to the space.
FAQ about pouffes
What's the difference between a pouffe and a pommel horse bench?
A pouffe is typically lower and is often used as a footstool or extra seat. A pommel horse-inspired leather bench or stool is usually slightly taller and has a firmer structure. The smaller models work well as stools, while the longer versions can be used as small benches.
Can pouffes and leather benches be used as footstools?
Yes. Many people use both pouffes and smaller leather pommel horse stools as a footstool or leather footrest next to a sofa or armchair. The lower models are particularly well suited for this purpose.
How do I care for a leather pouffe or leather bench?
Leather should be wiped with a soft cloth and treated with suitable leather care products when needed. This helps preserve the leather's flexibility and prevents it from drying out. With proper care, both leather pouffes and leather benches can stay beautiful for many years.
How many pouffes or leather benches should I use in a lounge area?
It depends on the size of the room, but many people choose to combine two to four pouffes or leather benches to create a flexible seating area that can easily be rearranged as needed.
Are all leather pouffes and leather benches the same?
No. Leather is a natural material, so colour, texture and patina will vary from one product to another. These variations are part of the unique character that makes leather such a popular choice.
