Travel Footrest

I love this thing. I can use it on any plane and adjust the height to a different length as my feet/knees/hips/back need. It helps my back because I like curling up when I sit for a long time, but I can't sit crossed-legs on a plane seat. This is the next best option.

I bought this on a whim as a lightning deal right before I left on a long international flight where I was not sure we would get upgraded. Well, I am glad I did! Ok, this thing looks weird but it actually works. You can hook it onto just about anything (I used the tray table from the seat next to me) and then rest your legs in it. You would be surprised how great this feels when you have been folded up in your seat for hours on end and you just want to sit in a different position (you don't want to fall asleep with your legs in the aisle!) It comes rolled up in a nice compact black bag and is small enough to fit in your purse. The strap length has quite a bit of adjustment built into it as well and was easy to adjust. While it is not particularly padded, it is wide enough that it is pretty comfortable for you to rest your legs on. You can also swing them a bit if you want. Best $7 I ever spent!

I bought this foot rest for my trip to the Philippines, 14 hours from Atlanta, GA to Seoul, Korea and another 5 hours from Seoul to Manila. I have to admit having my legs cradled in this foot rest for the duration of the flight was quite an experience. I put the strap over the tray table and it was easy to get in and out of it. My legs were comfortable for the duration of the flight if I sat upright but when I moved to the side, I had to figure out how to position my feet so they would be properly aligned with my body. This is why I only gave it 4 stars. I did like the fact that the blood didn't rush to my feet when I stood up since they were supported by the foot rest and I no longer had to struggle fitting swollen feet into my travel shoes! Two passengers who sat next to me on different flights liked the foot rest and said that it was a brilliant idea.

Although I have no problem with the product itself, I only rated this product as a 3 star because of the inability to use it on the plane. I specifically purchased this device so I could use it during my 10 hour flight to reduce swelling of my legs The concept is great, (lightweight & easy to slip into luggage) but unfortunately since there was such little leg room inside the plane it was impossible to lift my feet up into the stirrup, once hung. . Again- the issue is not the product but the inability to use it because of limited space on-board the plane.. Maybe it would work in a large SUV.

I take about 3 round trip international long haul flights each year. I'm short (5'1") which is great for fitting into those tight economy class seats, but on the rare occasion I get upgraded (or am on a plane with a basic footrest in economy) I notice a huge difference in the swelling of my feet and fatigue in my legs. I bought this on a whim about a year ago, and have used it on every flight since, and it really makes the flight more comfortable! I hang it from the tray table in front of me and adjust it fairly high so my feet are right under the seat in front of me. On some planes I find that the buckle for the strap gets caught in the tray table, requiring some time adjusting the strap to get it right. I've never had a problem with the tray coming undone, and the people in front of me never seem to notice that I've installed it. The little stuff sack it came in was convenient, but shredded after the second trip, so I just roll it up and stick it in my carry on. It works great for me, but I don't see it working for anyone significantly taller than me.

I wouldn’t say this is LIFE changing but anything is better than nothing. I’m 5’2” and my legs can reach the ground, but sitting in economy on a 10+ hour flight, I’m willing to try anything. Used this on a long flight, and I was able to lean my seat back slightly and have my legs propped up so I can somewhat lie on my side. It’s also discreet enough that you aren’t going to get strange looks from others on the plane, and it can fit easily in a carry on. The length is also adjustable. Just open up your fold out table, slide the slings to the bottom of the table and then click your table back in place. I’ll be bringing this on every flight from here on out.

I must admit I love this purchase. I’ve used on almost every flight since I purchased. Originally bought it for a trip around Europe with lots of flights. This sling is great for me because I like to sleep on flights and need somewhere to rest my feet to get comfortable. Even when awake, my legs can get a bit stiff and this is a more comfortable position for sitting. The sling is a great size and it very comfortable. The downside: You pretty much have to sneak this in between the cushions of the seat in front of you and hope you board the plane before the person ahead of you! You can hook it over your tray table but I found this pulled down the seat in front of you in away that could be disruptive to the person in front of you. It’s also just too close and doesn’t work as well. I would still recommend trying it and seeing if it works for you.

Purchased this footrest to try to make longer flights bearable for a petite* person. When circumstances are right, this portable travel footrest does the trick--making it so one's feet don't dangle, causing pain in the hips and back. That said, if you upgrade to an area of the plane that has more leg room, the seat in front of you may be too far for it to work, and if your carry-on bag takes up the entire area under the seat in front of you, you may wind up just resting your feet on your bag. And I do wish that the sling had a bit of a platform** so your feet did not wind up folding in on themselves. Otherwise, I appreciate its carrying sleeve, so it's easy to find and keep untangled, and packability. *Petite is generally defined as individuals who are shorter than 5'3". **Understanding that this would make it not pack down as well as it does.

Got it for my mom so she can fly more comfortably - she loved it - she said that she was able to sleep better on the plain and not feel so uncomfortable doing the fight (she has bad circulation - this really helped). A MUST HAVE for frequent flyers.

Muy cómodo y funcional, resultó perfecto para los viajes, principalmente vía aérea.

海外への飛行機の使用にしたいと思い購入しました。足の負担が楽になって、とても快適でした。コンパクトで手荷物にも入れ安く、値段も手頃で、いい製品です。予定通りのもので本当に良かったです。ありがとうございました。

If you can't afford business class, then getting these is the next best thing for long haul flights. They are a breeze to set up and works well to support your feet. Due to how they work, you can use them in the office as well for under the desk.

I was skeptical, but trusted the high review scores and made the purchase. Taller people may not understand the sheer discomfort for shorter of the sitting angle on plane seats. This product has fully solved this problem for me. Being able to adjust it throughout the flight for variation by just pulling on the strap added to the comfort joy.
