When you are planning to buy suitable pieces of furniture for a working environment like an adjustable chair or a desk, most people like to focus on the comfort of their back, shoulders and neck. But the legs and feet gets overlooked most of the time. If the feet and legs are not properly supported, then one could end up with serious damage in blood circulation and long-term health issues.

Over the years, footrests have been dominating the living rooms, bedrooms and the salons. Apart from that, there are several other reasons why pouffe stools are highly recommended with your ergonomic chair or desk set. They are as follows:

Relaxation

The age-old expression "sit down and relax with your feet up" becomes real when you have good footrests to support your legs and feet. For many people, pouffe stools offer actual health benefits which come from keeping your feet supported. Patients of health conditions like lymph-oedema and poor blood circulation are often advised by physicians to sit with their feet elevated as it improves overall blood circulation of the body.

Extra Space

Those people, who are looking for extra space, can use large and sturdy pouffes or stools as a spare seat or even a coffee table when you have guests in your house. The smaller variety can be used as an upgraded version to top shelves and seats for children. While there are chairs for petite users, a footrest is a perfect way to enjoy the benefits of seating without any limitations.

End Tables

There is a way to add some utilitarian quality to a room that is full of sharp angles by using pouffes along with same old and traditional end tables. Using flat pouffes which are sturdy and square, add more rigidity as well as style to your living or dining room. This way you will have complete control over the shape, size, colour and fabric that is used to enhance the look of your living space without any added hassle.

Eye Candy

It gets really boring when you have a monochromatic room full of hard edges. But adding pouffes are the easiest and the most inexpensive way to add colour and interest to your room without the need to remodel the whole thing. If you have a room that is full of beige and brown furniture, it is recommended to use heavily patterned and brightly coloured pouffes. Simple round pouffes can change the whole set-up of such room by adding softness without disturbing the balance of your room.

Health Benefits

Even the most comfortable chairs can sometimes make your feet or back go numb after a while. So you need to get up and walk around to shake off that tingly feeling when you are at work. But, if you have a footrest under your feet when you are sitting on a chair, it will considerably reduce the pressure on your legs. When there is less pressure on your legs, it encourages good posture and keeps your spine in its proper position.

Accessories

Often buying a spacious house can put a huge dent on your budget, so most people prefer smaller apartments and condos. A smaller house means less space for furniture so it gets difficult to fit bench or trunk at the end of your bed. However, a pouffe or two can enhance the look of your bedroom as well as serve as a storage space and an accessory with the bed. It can be used as a seat as well as a table or as a substitute for an ottoman. Pouffes are smaller than classic ottomans and can also be used as a cushion on your bed.

In addition to all this, pouffes make good souvenirs to gift your guests as well. Buy exclusive pieces of handmade pouffes to help them give their house a brand new makeover.
