Corduroy Ottomans

Corduroy ottoman sizes and room fit

A corduroy ottoman here fits a range of spots, from a compact footrest in front of a chair to a long bench at the foot of a bed. Widths run 25.6 to 43.3 inches, depths 14.6 to 27.6 inches and heights 15 to 21.3 inches.

Lower models sit a little below typical sofa seat height, which is comfortable for resting legs. Leave about 18 inches between the ottoman and the sofa, and around 30 inches for walkways.

Corduroy storage ottoman benches

A corduroy storage ottoman holds blankets, shoes or toys inside while serving as a seat. Some models here include storage, select models have a lift-top lid, and the bench styles fit an entryway or the foot of a bed.

Construction varies by model: some list solid wood parts, and some use plywood or MDF panels in their construction. Check the listing for how the top opens and for any weight guidance before using a bench as everyday seating.

Black corduroy ottoman and other colors

A black corduroy ottoman grounds a light room and hides marks well, and black and gray are the most common colors here. Green and brown add warmth, and beige suits lighter rooms.

Corduroy ribs catch light differently from each angle, so the color can look a shade lighter or darker depending on how the ottoman sits in the room.

Ottoman care for corduroy fabric

A corduroy ottoman lasts longest with regular vacuuming and gentle spot cleaning. Vacuum along the direction of the ribs with an upholstery brush, and blot spills right away with a clean cloth, a little water and mild soap, testing a hidden spot first.

Brush the pile lightly once it is dry to lift flattened cords, and keep the ottoman out of strong direct sun, which can fade dyed fabric over time.
