Tuffet
A tuffet, hassock, or a pouffe is a piece of furniture used as a footstool or low seat. It is mentioned in Little Miss Muffet as so:
Little miss Muffet, she sat on her tuffet
Eating her curds and whey
Along came a spider, who sat down beside her
And frightened miss Muffet away

Eating her curds and whey
