The perfect place to put your feet up

There's something rather wonderful about sinking into your favourite sofa at the end of a long day and putting your feet up on a comfy footstool. Whether you're curling up with a good book, settling in for a film night with the family, or simply taking a moment to relax, our footstools help create those little pockets of comfort that make a house feel like home.

Our collection offers a range of styles to suit different living spaces and tastes. The Amelia Large footstool brings a touch of traditional English design with its deep button-tufted top and castor feet – perfect for those who appreciate classic detailing. For a simpler, more versatile design, the Clara footstool offers beautifully cushioned comfort with elegant hand-turned feet. If you're looking for something with a bit more support, the Dawson footstool features graceful curves and a tailored skirt that covers the base.

Sizes, fabrics and finishes to suit your space

We know that every home is different, which is why our footstools come in various sizes – from compact designs like the 90cm Amelia and Clara, through to larger options such as the 140cm Amelia Large. You'll also find different heights to consider, with some footstools sitting lower at around 30cm, while others like the Taylor and Dawson offer a slightly higher perch at 39-47cm.

When it comes to fabric, you can choose from over 50 options across our collection. Soft Matt Velvet brings a luxurious feel in colours like Mustard, Lake, Deep Blue and Forest Green. Our House Linen Mix offers a more relaxed, natural look in shades such as Dusky Blush, Ink and Sky Blue. For busy households, Aquaclean Oxford provides easy-care practicality, while Rustic Weave and House Weave bring wonderful texture. Each footstool can be finished with your choice of light, medium or dark wood legs to complement your existing furniture.

Handcrafted quality you can trust

Every footstool in our collection is handcrafted in the UK by skilled craftspeople at our workshops. We build each piece using birch and a combination of hardwoods and manufactured timbers, with joints secured using glue, screws, staples and dowels. The zig-zag sprung bases provide lasting support, while foam or feather-and-fibre fillings offer comfort that moulds to you.

We're so confident in the quality of our craftsmanship that each footstool comes with our 15-year frame guarantee. This is furniture built to last – pieces you'll love living with for many years to come. Your footstool will be delivered within 5-8 weeks (depending on the range), brought to the room of your choice, with all packaging removed and recycled by our delivery team.

What materials and fabrics are the footstools upholstered in?

Our footstools are upholstered in a wide range of fabrics to suit every style and lifestyle. You can choose from soft Matt Velvet, easy-care House Linen Mix, textured House Weave, durable Eco Chenille, classic Compton Stripe, hard-wearing Rustic Weave and stain-resistant Aquaclean Oxford. With up to 58 fabrics available across different ranges, there's something to complement any room.

How are the footstools constructed, and what wood is used for the frames?

Our footstools are expertly constructed with frames made from birch and a combination of other hardwoods and manufactured timbers. The joints are secured using glue, screws, staples and dowels, and all footstools feature a zig zag sprung base for lasting support and comfort.

What sizes are available, and how do I choose the right footstool for my space?

Our footstools come in a range of sizes to suit different spaces and needs. We offer three main sizes:

When choosing the right footstool for your space, think about how you'll use it and where it will sit. Measure the area in front of your sofa or armchair, leaving enough room to move comfortably around it. A smaller footstool works well in cosier spaces or alongside a single armchair, while a larger one is perfect for sprawling out in front of a sofa. Consider whether you want it just for resting your feet or as an extra perch for guests. All our footstools are handcrafted in the UK and available in a variety of fabrics and colours to complement your existing furniture.

Can I order fabric or finish samples before purchasing a footstool?

Yes, you can order up to six free fabric samples before purchasing a footstool. This helps you see and feel the fabrics in your own home, making it easier to choose the perfect finish. Samples are delivered within 7-10 working days. Order your free samples here.

Do the footstools arrive fully assembled, or is some assembly required?

Our footstools don't arrive fully assembled – they just need the feet attaching, which our delivery team will do for you. So you won't need to worry about any assembly yourself.

What delivery options are available, and how long will my footstool take to arrive?

Your footstool will be delivered using our specialist Upholstery Delivery service for £5.95. As your footstool is handmade to order, it will be delivered within 5-10 weeks depending on the specific model you choose. Our delivery team will contact you to arrange a convenient delivery date. You'll receive delivery between 7am-9pm, with a specific timeslot confirmed on the morning of delivery. Your footstool will be delivered to your room of choice up to the second floor (access permitting), and our team will remove and recycle all packaging for you. For more information about our delivery services, please visit our delivery page.

Will these footstools coordinate with other Cotswold Company sofas and armchairs?

Yes, these footstools work beautifully with other sofas and armchairs in our collection. Each footstool range is designed to complement specific sofa styles – for example, the Amelia footstool pairs perfectly with our Chadwick sofa, whilst the Taylor footstool coordinates with our Taylor High Back sofa. With a choice of over 50 fabrics and multiple colourways across our upholstery collection, you can easily match or complement your existing pieces to create a cohesive look in your home.

How do I care for and clean the upholstery on my footstool?

To care for and clean the upholstery on your footstool, we recommend regular maintenance to keep it looking its best. For everyday care, vacuum regularly using a soft brush attachment to remove dust and debris.

For spills, act quickly by dabbing (not rubbing) with a clean, damp white cloth. The cleaning method depends on your fabric type. If you have an Aquaclean fabric, you can remove most household stains with water alone. For velvet upholstery, use a velvet brush or gentle steam for light marks, and avoid getting the fabric wet as this can damage its appearance.

We recommend professional upholstery cleaning every 18 months to maintain your footstool in tip-top condition. For detailed care instructions specific to your fabric type, please visit our Sofas and Armchairs Care Guide.

What warranty or guarantee is provided with the footstools?

All our footstools come with The Cotswold Company 15-year Frame Guarantee. This covers any faults to structural elements including spring breakage, wood breakage and loose joints, giving you added peace of mind. Find out more about our guarantee.

What is the returns policy if my footstool isn't quite right?

As your footstool is handmade to order, it can't be returned unless it's faulty or damaged in transit. We understand choosing upholstery is a big decision, which is why we recommend ordering up to six free fabric samples before you buy. If your footstool arrives damaged or with a manufacturing fault, we're here to help put things right. For full details, please see our Terms & Conditions. Your footstool also comes with our 15-year Frame Guarantee for added peace of mind.
