👉 How to stuff your moroccan pouf
For a standard Moroccan pouf with a 20-inch diameter, you will typically need 8–10 pounds (3.5–4.5 kg) of filling material. This can equal two 40-ounce bags of polyester stuffing, three 26-inch feather pillows, or a mix of recycled clothes and blankets. Larger ottoman coffee tables may require more filling depending on their size and intended use.
The best stuffing depends on how you plan to use your pouf.
Shredded memory foam offers the best balance of comfort, support, and shape retention.
Feather pillows provide a softer, more luxurious feel.
Recycled textiles (clothes, towels, bedding) are the most eco-friendly and cost-effective option.
Many customers combine materials to achieve both firmness and comfort.
A firmer fill is ideal if your pouf is used as an ottoman, coffee table, or footrest. A softer top layer works well for decorative use or occasional seating. Our artisans generally recommend filling the pouf to about 85–90% capacity, allowing the leather to settle naturally while maintaining a rounded shape.
Comfort comes from the right balance between structure and softness. Starting with firmer materials at the base and adding softer layers on top usually delivers the best result. If you are unsure which filling combination suits your interior or intended use, you can contact us and our artisans will gladly guide you based on your needs and experience with Moroccan leather poufs.
Most customers can fully stuff a standard pouf in 15 to 30 minutes. Using pre-filled pillows is usually faster, while shredded foam or recycled textiles may take slightly longer to distribute evenly.
Yes, all stuffing materials compress slightly with regular use. Recycled textiles and polyester compress more than foam or feathers. One advantage of Moroccan poufs is the zipper opening, which allows you to easily add more filling over time to maintain the desired firmness.
We do not recommend polystyrene bean bag beads. They do not provide enough support, create noise, and do not maintain the pouf’s traditional rounded shape. Foam, feathers, or textile-based fillings offer a more authentic and durable result.
