Low padded seat (7)
I believe the answer is:
ottoman
'low padded seat' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for ottoman that I've seen before include "Turkish dynasty or long cushioned seat" , "that lacks arms and backing" , "Turkish empire or ling cushioned seat" , "Turk (historical); seat" , "Turkish dynasty and cushioned stool" .)
