poufs

Soft round seats

Poufs is the plural of pouf, a word with two main senses.

A pouf is a large, firm cushion used as a seat or footrest—a piece of furniture that sits low to the ground: The living room had several poufs scattered around the coffee table.

Separately, pouf is British slang for a gay man, usually offensive: He called him a pouf.

Also spelled poof.
