Ouch! No! My mother keeps trying to do this, but those things are not comfortable.

I love that kind of ottoman that has a little semi-attached pillow that is a quarter-turn off center. Sorry, I'm blanking on the name of the style and am too lazy to look it up.

Ottoman will be more comfortable for lounging. You can buy a stylish tray to use it as a coffee table.

Measure first! You want 18 in clearance around, also check the height.

New sectional delivered. Seats feel narrower than I remember in show room. Will definitely need an ottoman or coffee table to rest feet on when tv viewing. if lounging is priority ottoman better than coffee table? How to size for sectional?
