It's a daily after-work ritual: drop on the couch, grab the remote, pop the top, and prop your feet up on the coffee table. And stay there until the stress level drops.

Coffee tables make great ottomans. (Ottomen?) They're the perfect height, they're close to the couch, and they perform double duty by holding both your feet and your drink and chip bowl. But there are downsides: they're only comfortable for a short time, and if you're wearing shoes, you can damage the table. (Not to mention the crap you get for doing it at your girl's place.)

Instead, throw a Coffee Table Ottoman on it and recline in comfort, without leaving heel marks in the wood. They're made with "green" Eco Foam, a memory foam that's cut in a crescent shape for optimum support, and to keep it from sliding around like throw pillows do.

The stain resistant cover comes in your choice of micro suede or a satin and knit "dazzle cloth". And if you're thinking of putting one in your Dude Den, they can also be customized with a team logo or colored fabric.

For about $45 bucks you can turn every seat in your house into a recliner.
