Footstool FAQs

DUSK shares everything you need to know about our footstool collection. 

Do footstools have health benefits?

Elevating your feet on a plush, handcrafted footstool isn't just a mark of sophistication; it's a wise choice for well-being. Our stylish footrests seamlessly blend form and function, promoting relaxation and better posture. 

Raising your feet above the floor improves your posture, relieves pressure from your spine and gives aching muscles a well deserved rest. Simply pop one at the foot of your sofa or armchair to enjoy the wonderful benefits. 

What can I store in my footstool?

Our fabulously useful footstools can be used to store so many things. From extra pillows to cleaning supplies to bed linens to cosy throws or even books for a reading nook. 

What is the difference between a footstool and a pouffe?

Whilst footstools and pouffes share many useful functions, some key differences exist. A footstool is a stool made low to the ground for a person to rest their legs on whilst sitting. A pouffe is similarly low to the ground but is made more like a large, firm cushion than a stool. Pouffes often don’t have legs or have very small legs.
