This might be a double definition.

'soft bench seat' is the first definition.

'from turkey?' is the second definition.
(as in the Ottoman Empire)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ottoman that I've seen before include "Couch for a Turk" , "cushion" , "Turkish dynasty and cushioned stool" , "Am not to (anag)" , "A long cushioned seat for an old Turk?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
