What s in front of your chair?

I'm condsidering putting an ottoman in front of my listening chair, but am concerned about sonic effects. However, could an ottoman be beneficial as a low frequency absorber? If so, what type of ottoman would be best? I'm thinking cloth covered with natural stuffing, i.e. wool or cotton. Has anyone experimented with this? I guess anything would be better than a glass table. I just don't want to buy something then not like it because once it's in, it will never leave(SO). Hey, maybe there's a product in this thread for some ingenious furniture maker: Audiophile Ottomans, $10,000, Chairs, $15,000.

Njonker...TOO funny! Bravo.
Am also looking at the possibility of a footrest/low ottoman, predominantly to get comfortable enough so that I don't cross my legs all the time, which aggravates my arthritic knees. Whereas I'm fully aware of the reflective problems with hard surfaces, I would hope that a cloth-cushioned LOW footrest wouldn't have sonic attribute, unless maybe it's too near a low port?...or an electrostat?
Sorry I'm not continuing the humorous bent of the thread...well perhaps a joke: why do Scotsman wear kilts?
