The word tuffet has been derived from tussock a small grassy hillock and has been used since the 16th century - hence the famous
Little Miss Muffet - you all know the story. Type in 'Tuffets' into the search engine and what a confusing array of goods are laid before you, tuffets, pouffes, ottomans, stools - all bandied about under the same label. The tuffet is purported to be a small stool with legs so small that they should be all but hidden under swathes of cloth to create a small article of beauty - but to sit on it becomes a very strange beast indeed! One has to crumple ones legs with knees about ears -
far too low and to raise it to a sensible height - have you ever tried to balance a footstool on a bench to gain total comfort? A most dangerous pastime, akin to balancing on one leg at the top of the crows nest - not for the faint hearted! This scenario can only lead to one conclusion, the footstools, pouffes and ottomans would all require the sustainable comfort of the deliciously sheepy tuffet created by the Travelling Tuffeteer to provide that wondrous sensation of Bottom Heaven! When considering the practical comfort one can visualise the added luxury that may be gained from the use of a wool tuffet, perhaps the
Titan Talan or the Trusty Jacob, or any other of the wonderfully rustic varieties, adding a certain suave yet rural sophistication to either the most basic or luxurious sitting furniture.
Suddenly the seat feels bigger and so much more................
Practical, comfortable, delightful and affordable, perhaps the perfect gift for that certain someone who has everything - what better than enriching your loved ones lives with the soothing caress of 'Bottom heaven Since 2011'
