Ottoman + Benches

Benches and ottomans offer both style and function, serving as footrests, coffee tables, storage solutions, or extra seating in living rooms, entryways, or at the foot of a bed. Modern designs focus on clean lines, neutral tones, and practical features like lift-top storage, tufting, or slim metal legs, with durable upholstery options such as velvet, boucle, eco-leather, and performance fabrics.

Unlike traditional pieces with ornate wood frames and heavy detailing, LA Furniture Store highlights sleek, modern designs that fit contemporary lifestyles while maintaining comfort and durability.

What Are the Main Buying Tips for Benches & Ottomans?

When shopping for a bench or ottoman, think about more than just looks, consider how the piece functions in your space.

Know the Purpose

Do you need seating, storage, a coffee table alternative, or all three? Clarifying your goals helps narrow your options quickly.

Measure Your Space

Most benches range from 40"–60" long, while ottomans average 18"–36" wide. Always allow at least 12–18 inches of clearance around the piece for easy movement.

Match Heights

Ottomans should match your sofa’s seat height (typically 16–18 inches) for comfort. Entryway benches are often 17–20 inches high for easy seating or shoe changes.

Choose the Right Fabric

For high-traffic areas, choose performance fabrics or faux leather for easy cleaning. Velvet and boucle offer a richer texture but may require gentler maintenance.

Consider Storage Features

Lift-top or drawer ottomans add functionality to small spaces. Entryway benches with cubbies or shelves are great for organizing shoes or bags.

Check Frame Quality

Look for kiln-dried hardwood or strong metal frames for durability. Avoid plastic legs or light construction if you expect frequent use.

Set a Budget

Benches and ottomans range from $199 to over $1,500. Determine your priorities, storage, size, or style and shop accordingly.
