Can you sit on an ottoman?
2 Answers
You can sit on an ottoman, though it may not be very comfortable for long periods of time because they don't have backings like sofas and chairs do. Ottomans are typically used as footrests, but there is no rule against sitting on them.

Sure you can, however it does not have a backrest witch can make it not so comfortable for a larger period of time
