Sitting comfortably at your desk
for long periods of time can be seriously challenging. To do it right, you need to raise or lower your chair so that your arms are at the keyboard and are parallel to the floor, raise or lower your monitor so the top of it is at eye level, and most importantly, make sure that your feet are supported. If everything else is right but your legs are dangling, you may need to use a footrest!
Did you know that a footrest can encourage healthier, more "active sitting" by engaging your feet to rock back and forth for better leg circulation?
The PLUSHY ComfiLife Foot Rest and the oh-so-sturdy Humanscale FR300 Ergonomic Foot Rocker are both better than plastic footrests at helping maintain better posture while feeling more comfortable at your desk.
ComfiLife Foot Rest
offers a firm, all-day comfort. Unlike most plastic footrests, which tend to be clunky and feel cheap, the ComfiLife gives a foam construction that feels good to use. It's plushy, soft, and makes you want to press your feet into the cushion to stretch out those ankles.
With a detachable base, you can use this footrest at either 3.9 inch or 5.9 inch height. The ComfiLife stays in place on hard and carpeted floors alike so you won't have to worry about slippery surfaces. And guess what? The cover is easily removable for tossing the whole thing into the washing machine!
Ergofoam
The ErgoFoam Adjustable Foot Rest is also a great choice as well. It feels just as comfortable as the ComfiLife. The ErgoFoam's velvety-soft cover and squishy foam insert can make elevating your feet quite pleasant. This footrest can also be used as a foot-rocker and comes in a few different styles as well.
Last but not least, the Humanscale FR300 Foot Rocker is like a rocking chair for your feet. This large, wooden platform glides easily over the metal frame with ball-bearing rollers. Non-Skid surface strips on top of your feet help keep them in place and this footrest can be used comfortably with shoes rather than bare feet. The FR300's solid construction feels light YEARS ahead of cheap plastic footrests and rest assured, can 100% justify a higher paying price.
