Buying Guide
Below are some factors to consider when looking for a foldable ottoman. Hopefully, these should help you find the right ottoman for all your storage needs.
1. Storage Space
If you want more storage space, then the bigger the ottoman, the better. However, remember that large ottomans tend to occupy a lot of living space.
Medium-sized ottomans (15 inches cubes) offer the perfect balance between storage space and living space convenience.
2. The Material
Go for ottomans upholstered with fabrics that are durable, hard to stain, and easy to wash. Microfiber fabrics are among the best and most popularly used fabrics for household furniture.
Leather is the other fabric you should consider getting since it’s good looking and the most durable. However, it’s quite costly.
3. The Intended Use
Will you use the ottoman mainly for storage purposes? Or, will it be part of your sitting space?
Foldable coffee table ottomans must have a lot of countertop space.
On the other hand, sitting ottomans need to be strong and firm (Must be able to hold at least 200 pounds).
4. The Shape
The shape is somewhat related to the ottoman’s intended purpose. Square-shaped ottomans are best for sitting or coffee table use. On the other hand, rectangular-shaped ottomans are the best for storage purposes.
5. Additional Features
Some ottomans come with additional features. For example, gliding ottomans allow you to comfortably sync with your rockers and gliders. Nevertheless, there aren’t many foldable ottomans that come with this feature.
