Footrests Buyers Guide
If you are looking for simple ways to improve the comfort and productivity of work carried out by your desk you should definitely getting an ergonomic footrest and a backrest. Anyone who spends numerous hours sitting in an office chair and operating computer or phone has suffered some back or leg discomfort at some stage but there are ways of minimising risk of injuries and pains simply by using footrests and backrests. You might think that such products are designed only for large offices but in fact they can work great for home users as well.
A lot of people ignore the need of using a footrest or a backrest as they are not aware with the long term effect that sitting in the same position systematically over the years can lead to some serious health consequences. Footrests not only take the strain of your legs and feet but also of your lower back. Sitting at an incorrect posture might result in decreasing the efficiency of work and increasing the number of sick days taken by an employee.
Ergonomic footrests provide a stable large surface for your feet that can be tilted and height adjusted. The most important thing when sitting for several hours is to take breaks every hour to stretch the muscles a bit and improve the blood flow by taking a short walk even around the room. With ergonomic footrests for desks you can maintain a good blood circulation even when sitting simply move your feet on the base of a footrest. A lot of desk footrests have a massaging surface (typically in a form of plastic balls or waved platform) which is brilliant for reducing the strain of your feet to use the massage function you need to have your shoes taken of so it might not be suitable to use in all workplaces.
What to look for in an ergonomic footrest:
Height and tilt adjustability this is the most important feature as it allows to set it at the most comfortable for each person using it; if a footrest cant be customised to your very own requirements it means it is not ergonomic at all.
Non slip surface and back - to do its job correctly a footrest needs to be stable on the floor so it doesn't move around under the desk; the top surface on which feet are place should also have a slip preventing surface so that your feet dont slip off it.
Size a good footrest shouldnt be too bulky so that you can easily place it under your desk; the footrest surface should be large enough to comfortably accommodate your feet.
Weight heavier footrests seem to work better as they give the users the feeling of more solid base than lightweight footrests.
