Everything You Need To Know About Marrakesh, The Home of Morrocan Poufs

In the heart of Morocco, Marrakesh is one of the most beautiful cities of an equally gorgeous country, Morocco. Surrounded by breathtaking architecture, the city boasts pleasurable traditional cuisines, music and art. Marrakesh is the fourth largest city in Morocco, with a population of nearly 1 million, and the number annually continues to grow. As one of Morocco's major cities, Marrakesh has tourists flocking from all corners of the world for its well-maintained traditional values that are reflected in everything designed by its remarkable craftsmen. It is shopaholic heaven. One can shop for a wide range of authentic Moroccan items such as rugs, lights, tableware, furniture, but what makes Marrakesh a home decor enthusiasts’ favorite are its remarkably created Morrocan poufs. Morocco is the home of poufs. Here is why every tourist that visits Marrakesh in Morocco should buy a pouf:

 

First, What Are Poufs and What Makes Them Special?

 

Poufs normally refer to small couches, or a big circular pillow either made from cotton, leather or fur on the outside. This particular home furniture piece typically is designed as a one-person seat, placed on the floor. Unlike a chair, poufs are designed to be placed on the ground, but with a soft cushion instead. Moroccan poufs have been used for hundreds of years. Marrakesh holds a prominent position in the leather industry since the 16th Century. The city is famous for producing leather goods, the traditional and authentic way, in the sprawling tanneries which can be found almost everywhere.  

 

Even though they sound old and ancient, poufs are some of the best options to choose from that would make an exceptionally durable seating for any home, big or small. Although most of them do not have any back support, many people feel that they are very comfortable. Poufs can be used for so many different purposes in your home. People prefer it for sitting, but some even use these mini couches as a footrest. If you and your family want to add some extra seating to your outdoor backyard, but are tired of traditional chairs, poufs can also be a creative alternative. 

 

Are Moroccan Leather Poufs Expensive?

 

Unlike regular poufs that are designed like pillow bean bags, Moroccan poufs are normally seen as a higher-quality to the average bean bag seats. Many of them are made with top quality materials like real suede, fur and leather, and of course leather is well known to be an expensive material. Any poufs that are less than $100 are usually made in China and are most likely not authentic, and the fake leather will wear out quickly. Poufs that are made in Morocco tend to be more expensive because unlike any other leather producing country cities like Marrakesh follow the traditional tanning process, which guarantees durability. Any Moroccan pouf made with real leather can range from $200 to $800, but they can last for many years and add a luxurious touch to your home. Moroccan poufs can be expensive, but will most likely be high quality if you purchase from Moroccan vendors in a city like Marrakesh.
