I don't. When I was a kid in Philly in the 1960s every living room had one. Nowadays, hardly any.

I don't, but I'd like to have one, having reached a time in my life when it feels good, really good, to put my feet up.

Tumpty and humpty? You made that up. No Tumpthy is a name for it on the British isles and humpty in New Zealand and Newfoundland I find it bizarre that such distant lands as New Zealand and Newfoundland would name them the same. But you're right. I googled it. I thought you were pulling my leg. 
I also believe the term "ottoman" is a bit racist. It was an empire, not a foot stool. My great grandfather worked for the Sultan.
