9 Best Poufs of 2025: A Designer's List

We sat down with Courtney Marquez, a Living Spaces staff designer, to talk about the best poufs consumers can buy this year. A seeming trivial subject for the unaware — but a wealth of rabbit holes to travel in and around for those with a sharpened eye for interior decorating. In case you fall into the former category, here's a recap of just why you want to pay a little more attention to these living room accent pieces: without the right quality, a few foot props and sits is all it takes for sagging and frayed fibers to start to show. (And if you need more reasons, consider that the pouf is perhaps the best value for your dollar: what other piece of furniture can you use as an ottoman, coffee table, chair and side table?)
If that has piqued your interest, keep reading. If you're still nonchalant, keep reading. Either way, the following report takes the guesswork out of finding the best pouf for your own home and is bound to turn even the most pouf-weary skeptic into a diehard fan. From size to material to feel to uses, these best-of designs will take your living space from ordinary to super-comfy, and add a touch of function, too!<
