Leather Pouf Filling Guide
How to fill your leather pouf
If your pouf is supplied as an unfilled cover, filling it at home keeps shipping lighter and lets you choose the firmness that feels right for you.
Recommended filling options
- Clean old textiles: towels, blankets, clothing, and other soft fabrics can create a firm, weighty pouf.
- Shredded foam: provides a lighter and softer result.
- Polyester fiber fill: useful for softening the upper surface and filling the edges.
- A combination: dense textiles in the center with softer filling around the sides often creates a balanced shape.
Step-by-step
- Open the zipper and place the empty cover on a clean floor.
- Add filling in small amounts, pushing it firmly into the outer edges.
- Rotate the pouf as you work so the shape develops evenly.
- Continue until it feels supportive without straining the zipper or seams.
- Close the zipper carefully, then sit on or press the pouf to settle the filling.
- Add or remove material until the firmness suits your intended use.
The exact amount of filling depends on the pouf’s dimensions, the material used, and your preferred firmness. Keep loose filling and the open zipper away from young children and pets.
