Step-by-Step Guide to Stuffing Your Moroccan Leather Ottoman

Using IKEA FJÄDRAR Feather Pillows

For a plush and luxurious feel, fill your ottoman with IKEA FJÄDRAR feather pillows. You’ll need three 26-inch inserts for a perfect fill. These pillows are filled with duck feathers, providing a cozy and well-rounded shape to your ottoman.

If you do not have time to visit IKEA, you can easily place your order online:

Make sure to choose the inserts filled with feathers, as polyester ones won’t provide the same level of comfort.

Using Polyester Stuffing

For an affordable and easy solution, use polyester stuffing. We recommend two 40-ounce bags for a snug fit. You can find these at your local fabric store, making it a quick and convenient option.

Recycling Old Clothes and Textiles

Declutter your home and fill your ottoman with unused clothing and textiles. This method is cost-effective and environmentally friendly. Look around for old jeans, sweaters, kids’ clothing, or even bath towels you no longer use. If you have an old duvet lying around, that can be a perfect filler too!

NB : If you plan to buy your ottomans from us, we offer our customers the exclusivity to buy our stuffing, for more information please click here  for the large sizes of ottomans & Tables, and click here for the normal sizes of ottomans.

Special Tips for Large Moroccan Leather Ottomans

Filling a large or extra-large ottoman is also easy and affordable. The key difference is the amount of material used. Start with the corners to avoid leaving any gaps, and mix different materials like blankets and pillows for the best results. For IKEA fans, consider pillows in sizes 25", 30", and 45" for a well-stuffed ottoman.

1- Fill your Moroccan pouf using IKEA FJADRAR feather pillows.

Our favorite IKEA pillows of all time are FJADRAR inserts filled with duck feathers. They are super cozy and plump and the price/quality ratio is spot on. There are two sizes and the bigger 26″ inserts work best to fill our Moroccan pouf.

You’ll need three 26″ FJADRAR* IKEA feather pillows to make your pouf heavy enough to sit on. Three inserts will make your pouf round and well filled. It’s a bit pricier than using polyester stuffing, but it makes the pouf more comfortable and it’s a no-brainer since pretty much everyone has an IKEA store nearby.

 

If you do not have time to go to Ikea, you can place your orders directly online on the Ikea website.

*Important: Make sure you pick up the inserts filled with feathers and not the cheaper ones that are filled with polyester. The polyester ones won’t work for this purpose.

2- Fill your Moroccan pouf with polyester stuffing (or pillow filling).

This is probably the easiest way to fill your pouf. we recommend using two 40 ounce bags (or 3 lbs.) of polyester stuffing*. (Just like this one) You can probably find some at your local fabric store.

​

3- Fill your Moroccan pouf with unused clothing and textiles you can find around your home.

This is our favorite method even if it requires you to do a little decluttering in your closets and find all those perfect textiles to make your pouf heavy and plump.

Look around the house for unused textiles such as:

  • Old jeans you’re no longer wearing

  • Sweaters

  • Old kids clothing

  • Pillows you’re no longer using

  • Bath towels you’re no longer using

  •  Get bonus points if you have an old duvet you don’t know what to do with!
