Babyletto Cali Storage Ottoman in Ivory Boucle - Clean Air Storage

Our review of the Babyletto Cali Storage Ottoman finds it ideal for parents who want a tidy, nursery-ready piece that prioritizes indoor air quality. The single biggest reason to buy is its combination of substantial hidden storage and certified low emissions: the ottoman is GREENGUARD Gold certified, meaning it has been tested for over 10,000 chemical emissions and VOCs to help maintain cleaner indoor air where a baby sleeps and plays. It also pairs visually and functionally with the Cali Swivel Glider for a coordinated nursery setup.

Key Features

• Greenguard Gold certified: Reduces exposure to common VOCs and chemical emissions, supporting a healthier nursery environment.
• Ample storage: The interior compartment provides space for blankets, toys, and other nursery clutter, keeping surfaces tidy and accessible.
• Texture-rich fabric: Upholstered by hand in boucle fabric, the surface adds visual warmth and a soft tactile feel to the room.
• Emissions-tested foam: Seat foam meets CA TB117-2013 and is CertiPUR-US certified, indicating it is made without PBDE or Tris flame retardants, heavy metals, formaldehyde, and CFCs.
• FSC certified wood frame: The frame wood comes from well-managed forests, which supports more sustainable sourcing and responsible forestry.

Who It's For

The Babyletto Cali Storage Ottoman is best for new parents or caregivers who want a multi-functional nursery piece that doubles as seating and storage while prioritizing low emissions and responsible materials. It suits anyone pairing it with the Cali Swivel Glider or seeking a neutral, texture-forward accent in an infant or toddler room.

Those looking for heavy-duty seating for adult-only living rooms or pieces with integrated electronics should look elsewhere; this ottoman is optimized for nursery use, moderate loads, and the specific safety and material standards that families value.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• GREENGUARD Gold and CertiPUR-US certifications provide reassurance about chemical emissions and foam composition.
• Generous internal storage keeps blankets and toys out of sight, reducing nursery clutter.
• Hand-upholstered boucle adds a tactile, modern look that pairs well with neutral nursery palettes.

Cons

• One realistic limitation is that the boucle fabric requires gentle care to maintain texture and may show wear differently than smooth upholstery.
