Simpli Home Fredrik Round Pouf vs Berlinda Faux Leather Round Storage Ottoman

The Fredrik is the better pick if you want a large, firm leather seat or footrest with real material character. The Berlinda is smaller, lighter-duty and adds hidden storage, which the Fredrik lacks. Reviewers of leather poufs like the Fredrik praise the firm bead fill and the way the hide wears in; owners of small faux-leather storage ottomans like the Berlinda call them handy but report the foam softens and the cover can crease. Build quality favors the Fredrik; practicality for small rooms favors the Berlinda.

• Choose the Simpli Home Fredrik if you want a 30-inch genuine buffalo leather pouf that works as a firm extra seat, ottoman or casual side table.
• Choose the Berlinda if you need a compact 18-inch ottoman with hidden storage and a 220 lb weight limit for a small room.
