footrests & leg rests
Put your feet up with an ergonomic, adjustable footrest or leg rest
Experiencing aching knees, legs and ankles at your office desk? A footrest or adjustable leg rest under your desk may be the solution. They are designed to provide support for your legs from the feet up, taking strain off your thighs to keep you comfortable for long periods sitting at your desk.
- Standard Castors: Free-moving wheels for easy repositioning.
- Brake-Loaded Castors: Lock in place when weight is applied for stability.
- Glides: Fixed, non-moving feet that hold the leg rest entirely stationary unless physically moved.
- A footrest is designed to support only the feet. It typically consists of a flat surface or platform that you can keep under your desk and where you can rest your feet. Office foot stools help improve posture, especially when sitting at a desk or using a computer.
- A leg rest provides support for both the feet and the lower legs (calves). It usually includes a footrest along with an additional padded or contoured surface that extends up to support the calves. Leg rests are usually used to reduce fatigue and improve circulation in the legs.
