footstool

Low seating companion

A footstool is a low piece of furniture for resting your feet while seated.

It's typically a small padded or wooden platform, shorter than a chair: She propped her feet on the footstool while reading.

Footstools are sometimes called ottomans, though ottomans are often larger and may double as seating.
