I purchased a '£20 pouffe' from Dunelm and it's a been a game changer for my lounge
In an effort to make lounging about at home even more comfortable, I recently invested in a soft velvety pouffe from Dunelm. With selected colours now half price, this could be your sign to invest in one too.
The Eliza Pouffe in Thistle has been reduced from £40 to £20 online. Made from soft velvet with neat piped edges, the plush accessory adds an 'elegant' touch to any seating area.
I originally purchased the pouffe in a beige colour, paying full price for the privilege. An automatic upgrade to my living room, I immediately went back and got another one.
Soft and plush, the Eliza pouffe is perfect for putting your feet up after a long day. Thanks to its lightweight design, it means I can move it around to find the perfect position when plonked in front of the telly.
The velvet introduces a rich texture, making the space feel warm and cosy. While I did question the sanity of buying a light-coloured piece of furniture that people would put their feet on, the pouffe still looks as good as new.
Filled with poly beads, it feels firm enough to stop tired legs from sinking while still feeling soft and comfy against the skin. I haven't seen the beads sink too much yet, but I assume that they can be refilled if they start to sag.
Being able to pop my feet up has been a real game changer - it makes my seating area more comfortable without having to fork out for an expensive foot stool.
While I love my pouffes, other alternatives are also available. Argos, for example, is selling the Habitat Fabric Storage Footstool in a choice of rich moss green colour for £50. Not quite as versatile as the Dunelm pouffe, this model has handy storage to keep smaller items out of sight.
Elsewhere on Amazon, the Icon Milano Velvet Bean Bag Pouffe comes in six colours and is currently reduced with prices from £37.99. Shoppers have given it a 4.6 out of five-star rating, calling it "excellent quality" and "great value for money."
The stylish Eliza Pouffe has earned glowing feedback on the Dunelm website, boasting an impressive average rating of 4.7 out of 5 stars from over 120 reviews. One buyer said: 'Comfy. So comfy, great after a hard day's work. Don't know why I didn't get one ages ago.'
Another called it " very comfortable and stylish,' while a third added: "Lovely and comfortable, just right for tired legs, and it looks great too. Would definitely recommend it."
Not all Dunelm shoppers were quite so impressed, with some mentioning that the 'orange umber' shade appeared different in person than it did online. One reviewer wrote: "It's a good pouffe, quite comfortable. But it's not orange by any stretch—more of a brown or magenta tone. That was disappointing, as I was expecting a true orange."
Overall most buyers were happy with their purchase, even those who paid full price. A five-star review summed it up saying: "A wonderful room accessory. I'm thrilled with my Eliza Pouffe. It's an elegant addition to my room and looks far more expensive than it was."
