Benches & Ottomans

Z Gallerie benches and ottomans bring flexible seating and styled detail to a room. The collection spans tufted velvet ottomans, sculptural metal-base benches, upholstered cocktail ottomans that double as coffee tables, and slim entry benches in performance fabric and leather.

Place a bench at the foot of the bed for a finishing layer, set an oversized ottoman in front of a sectional as a coffee table substitute, or anchor an entry with a slim bench under a console. These pieces work where standard furniture won't, filling the in-between spaces a room needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a bench and an ottoman?▼

A bench is typically longer and narrower with a flat top, designed for seating or display at the foot of a bed or against a wall. An ottoman is usually softer and more square or round, designed as both a footrest and supplemental seating, often paired with a sofa or chair.

Can I use an ottoman as a coffee table?▼

Yes, an oversized upholstered ottoman makes a great coffee table substitute, especially in casual living rooms. Top it with a tray to create a stable surface for drinks and decor, which keeps the soft top usable without spills. Look for firm cushioning that holds its shape.

What size bench works at the foot of a bed?▼

Choose a bench about three-quarters the width of the bed. For a queen bed (60 inches wide), a bench around 45 inches works. For a king (76 inches), aim for a bench around 56 to 60 inches. Leave a few inches on each side rather than spanning the full width.

What materials do Z Gallerie benches and ottomans come in?▼

Upholstery includes velvet, performance fabric, boucle, leather, and faux fur. Bases span metal, wood, and fully upholstered designs. Some styles include hidden storage under the lift-top lid, useful for blankets or seasonal items.

How do I clean an upholstered ottoman?▼

Vacuum regularly with an upholstery attachment and blot spills immediately rather than rubbing. Check the product details for the fabric's cleaning code; performance fabrics are easier to maintain, while velvet and boucle need gentler care. Rotate cushions if possible to even out wear.
