looking for a word
|
Dear colleagues, could anyone please tell me the English for this type of cosy seat? I couldn �t find it in the dictionary :( In French we call it a "pouf".
thanks in advance and have a nice week!

Hi 67Englishteacher, It �s called a �pouffe �. Almost the same as the French word |

It �s also called a hassock- at least in parts of the US.

In the USA, I �ve never heard it called a pouffe. Here a pouf is a scrubber made of nylon net used for bathing. I �d call it an ottoman, but I have heard hassock. |

I agree with Moody!
And we also call it "pouf" in French Canada!
