We bought 2 of these poufs in January and we use them 2 or 3 times a week to put our feet on while we watch TV. Both poufs have reduced in size by at least half, so they are no longer high enough to put our feet on. We have to stack both poufs on top of each other to make them high enough to use as a foot rest. (Yes, we have fluffed them, repeatedly). On top of that, the cotton lining has ripped in both and small styrofoam beads are spilling out all over the floor. What a waste of money. I wish we had just bought a regular ottoman. These are pretty expensive for something that barely lasts 9 months.
