Everything you need to know about Footstool

Sizes, materials, care and delivery — written by the GalaxiMart team to help you choose with confidence.

Footstools, pouffes and ottomans

A footstool finishes a seating area: somewhere to put your feet, an extra seat when friends come, and — if it has a lift-up lid — storage for throws and remotes. Our range includes round and square stools (Ben, Whisper), ribbed cylindrical stools and the Ripple storage ottoman in velvet and bouclé.

Getting the height right

For putting your feet up, choose a stool 2–5cm lower than your sofa seat (most sofas are 42–47cm). A storage ottoman at sofa height doubles as a coffee table with a tray on top.

Pairing

Match the fabric of your armchair or sofa, or use the stool to add a colour accent — olive, burgundy and blue against a grey sofa. See also dining benches and bar stools.

Footstool — frequently asked questions

What height should a footstool be?

Slightly lower than your sofa seat — around 40–45cm for most sofas.

Can a footstool be used as extra seating?

Yes; the square and cylindrical stools take an adult's weight comfortably.

Do any have storage?

The Ripple storage ottoman has a lift-up lid; other stools are solid.

Is delivery free?

Yes. Free UK delivery is included on every order. Estimated delivery times are shown on each product page, and larger pieces are delivered by a two-person team.
