A round ottoman fits where a square one does not: it has no corners to catch on a walkway and it can sit in front of a chair at any angle. In a small room it works as a footrest, a low extra seat or, when large enough, a small coffee table. This guide compares six round ottomans by the sizes on their Amazon listings, from 13 to 28 inches across, and explains how to choose by diameter, height and material. It also covers the colors, fabrics and tufted or striped styles we used to treat as separate pages.

Quick answer
Choose the diameter by the job. A 13 to 16 inch round ottoman is a stool or a small footrest. A 19 to 25 inch one is a footrest that two feet can share. A 24 to 28 inch one can act as a small table. Then match the height to your chair or sofa seat: the six here run from 10.6 to 17 inches. Choose the material and color last, because they do not change the size.

Diameter and height
- Footrest for a sofa: compare the ottoman height with your sofa seat height. Three of these are 15 to 16.5 inches high and two are 17 inches.
- Coffee-table substitute: the 28-inch Niche Knight has a top area of about 615 square inches (3.14 x 14 x 14), about 3.1 times the 16-inch Modway (about 201 square inches). That is a calculation from the listed sizes, not a stated property.
- Walkway: a round ottoman takes its full diameter in both directions, so a 28-inch piece needs a 28-inch gap on every side you want free. Measure the gap between your sofa and the wall or table.
- Stool use: only the 16 and 19 inch pieces are 17 inches high, a typical seat height. The 10.6-inch knitted one is a low footrest.
Colors, fabrics and styles
Because the size and height decisions do not change with color, this single guide covers black, gray, white, green, pink, blue and patterned round ottomans. After you settle the size, use these points:
- Velvet and boucle: soft to the touch and quiet in a small room. Check whether the listing says the cover is cleanable, and expect light colors to show marks.
- Faux leather: a smooth surface that suits a modern room. Read recent buyer feedback on the cover, and check whether the listing mentions the cover material as faux leather or PU.
- Knit, jute or woven: a casual texture. These are usually light, so check the stated load before you sit on one.
- Tufted and striped: a decorative choice that does not change size or storage.
- Legs or solid base: legs show floor and look lighter; a solid base usually allows storage but hides the floor.
The six round ottomans
Niche Knight 28-Inch Large Round Pintucked Storage Ottoman with Lift-Off Lid
The largest round ottoman here at 28 inches across and 16 inches high, in faux leather over a wood frame, with a lift-off lid for storage.
- Good for: a coffee-table substitute in front of a sofa, where a wide top matters more than saving floor.
- Keep in mind: it takes 28 inches of floor in each direction, and the text we read states no weight limit.
HomePop 25″ Button Tufted Round Storage Ottoman, Black Faux Leather
A 25-inch button-tufted round storage ottoman in black faux leather, 15 inches high.
- Good for: a living room that needs a footrest and a place to hide a blanket or two.
- Keep in mind: a 15-inch height is low for some sofas; compare it with your seat height.
BIRDROCK HOME Tufted Round Ottoman, Mid-Century Modern Velvet with Steel Legs
A 24-inch tufted velvet round ottoman on steel legs that states a 250 lb capacity. It has legs rather than a solid base, so it shows more floor and feels lighter in a room.
- Good for: a mid-century or modern room where you want a visible base and a stated load.
- Keep in mind: the listing text does not mention storage, so treat it as a seat or footrest only.
Studio Living Wentworth 19″ Round Ottoman, Faux Sherpa, Gray
A 19-inch round ottoman in faux sherpa fabric on a rubberwood frame, listed as fully assembled.
- Good for: a bedroom chair or a vanity, where a textured seat adds comfort without taking much floor.
- Keep in mind: a gray textured fabric can collect lint; check the care notes on the listing.
Modway 16″ Round Performance Velvet Upholstered Ottoman
A 16-inch round velvet ottoman at 17 inches high, close to a normal chair seat height.
- Good for: an extra seat by a window or desk, or a footstool for a tall chair.
- Keep in mind: a small top means it works as a stool, not as a table.
13″ Round Handmade Cotton Knitted Boho Small Ottoman with Non-Skid Wood Leg
The smallest round piece here at 13 inches across and 10.6 inches high, with a hand-knit cotton cover and wooden legs.
- Good for: a footrest at a desk or a low stool for a child, where height matters more than size.
- Keep in mind: a 10.6-inch height is too low for use as a chair seat; the text we read states no weight limit.
Choose by situation
| Situation | What to look for | From this guide |
|---|---|---|
| A footrest for a sofa | A diameter of 19 to 25 inches and a height near your seat | HomePop 25 in, Studio Living 19 in |
| A small table | A diameter of 24 to 28 inches and a firm top | Niche Knight 28 in |
| A stool for a desk or vanity | 13 to 16 inches across and about 17 inches high | Modway 16 in |
| A low, casual seat | Knit or jute at about 10 inches high | 13 in knitted boho ottoman |
| A modern look with visible legs | Tufted velvet on steel legs | BIRDROCK tufted ottoman |
Common mistakes to avoid
- Choosing by diameter only. Height decides whether it works as a footrest or a stool; the six main picks run from 10.6 to 17 inches.
- Forgetting the full circle. A round ottoman needs its whole diameter in every direction; a 28-inch one needs 28 inches of clear floor each way.
- Assuming it is a table. Only the larger and firmer ones suit a tray; check the top.
- Ignoring the cover. Velvet and sherpa show marks; look for cleaning notes.
- Choosing by color first. The same ottoman is usually offered in several colors with the same size.
A worked example
The top area of a round ottoman grows with the square of the diameter. A 19-inch round has a top of about 284 square inches (3.14 x 9.5 x 9.5), and a 28-inch round about 616 (3.14 x 14 x 14), roughly 2.2 times as much (616 / 284) for 1.5 times the diameter. If you want a table-size top, a 28-inch piece gives far more surface than a 19-inch one, but it also takes 2.2 times the floor.

Frequently asked questions
What size round ottoman do I need?
It depends on the use. In this guide, 13 to 16 inches suits a stool or small footrest, 19 to 25 inches suits a shared footrest, and 24 to 28 inches can act as a small table. Match the height to your seat height.
How high should a round ottoman be?
For use as a footrest, a height level with or a little below your seat height is a common choice, as a design rule of thumb. The six here run from 10.6 to 17 inches high, so measure your sofa or chair first.
Can a round ottoman be used as a coffee table?
A large one can. The 28-inch Niche Knight and the 25-inch HomePop have the widest tops here. Add a tray, and check the stated weight and whether the top is firm.
Does a round ottoman save space?
Not necessarily. It has no corners, which helps in a walkway, but it needs its full diameter in every direction. Compare the diameter with the gap you have.
What is the most common round ottoman size?
In the 75 listings we gathered with a three-number size, 11 are about 18 x 18 inches on the first two listed sides. The height ranges from 9 to 19 inches.
Does a bigger round ottoman give a lot more surface?
Yes, because area grows with the square of the diameter. A 28-inch round has about 616 square inches of top and a 19-inch one about 284, roughly 2.2 times as much.
