About the Verona Ottoman Footstool
Last checked
Beside the Verona sofa bed, this footstool is the tidy utility piece: feet up by day, spare bedding hidden underneath, and an extra padded perch when the room fills. There is no click-clack, futon fold or pull-out action, so the practical moving part is the lift-up ottoman storage rather than a sleep mechanism requiring floor clearance. Storage is the useful feature here. The 18cm internal depth is honest for a footstool, giving enough room for throws, cushions or lighter bedding, but it sits well below the capacity of larger storage benches or chaise-style sofa-bed bases. Its foam-topped surface gives it a sitting and lounging role, while the soft-touch fabric finish keeps it aligned with the upholstered Verona range rather than looking like a separate utility box. This is sofa-first support, not a bed. Against proper pull-out sofa beds, the build is generous only as an accessory; it improves hosting by keeping bedding close and adding informal seating, but it does not create another overnight sleep surface or meaningful back support.
In a reception room, spare-room lounge or compact guest space, the Verona makes most sense when it completes the matching sofa-bed set and keeps blankets, heated throws and cushions within reach. Praise repeatedly centres on the same things the spec points towards: the hidden compartment is genuinely used for bedding, the fabric is considered soft and smart, and the footstool makes everyday sofa lounging more comfortable. The storage often feels roomier than expected. That is a fair win for an 18cm ottoman compartment, especially where guest bedding needs to stay in the same room as the sofa bed rather than being carried in from elsewhere. Scale is the main caveat. A recent buyer found it larger than anticipated, and a more detailed use note mentions adding felt pads so it moves more easily across laminate flooring, which suggests it is better treated as a placed piece than something constantly dragged about. There is no repeated fault pattern in the supplied feedback, with even the lowest-rating sample still positive, so the sharper limitation comes from the build: foam on a footstool can handle perching, but heavier daily seating or any attempt to use it as part of a sleep platform asks it to behave like sturdier furniture. Best for Verona sofa-bed households needing neat bedding storage and a matching footrest. Less good for anyone needing daily-use sleeping support or a substantial extra seat, who would do better with a purpose-built storage sofa bed or a higher-tier upholstered ottoman bench.

Really useful and stylish. Loved the hidden storage and soft-touch fabric.
Complete the Verona range with this handy foot stool. Its perfect to put your feet up while still having the option to store spare blankets neatly away.
Product bigger than i expected, perfect storage space love it.
In combination with the verona 3-seater sofa it's very comfortable. There's a surprising amount of space inside too.
Great footstool, works perfectly in the reception room and great that it doubles as an ottoman. Bought with the matching sofa bed.
The Verona Ottoman Footstool is well made and perfect for storing bedding and other items. It's a perfect addition to the Verona Sofa bed.
We purchased this to match the sofa bed and arm chair. We got it in taupe which is a really nice colour. We put felt pads on the bottom and you can easily move it about on laminate floor. We use it to put our feet up when using both the arm chair and the sofa. Its also handy to sit on if you need an extra seat. We keep a heated throw inside it as it has storage underneath.
