pouf

Padded floor seat

A pouf is a large, firm cushion used as a seat or footrest, typically round or cylindrical and often made of leather or fabric.

In British English, pouf (also poof or poofter) is offensive slang for a gay man or an effeminate man.

The spelling pouffe emphasizes the furniture sense.
