If the piece is larger, with storage space inside it, then it is generally known as an ottoman. Hassock has special association with churches, as it is used to describe the thick cushions employed by the congregation to kneel on while in prayer. A tuffet is also an English unit of capacity, equal to 2 pecks, or half a bushel. Another sense of the word tuffet is "an inflatable landing area for precision accuracy parachute landings".
