Footstands and Footrests

Footstands, Footplates and Footrests can be an essential part of achieving a good posture at your desk.

Our footrests are designed to provide support for your feet and legs to relieve aching in the knees, legs and ankles. Foot rests also provide a more ergonomic posture by encouraging users to be sat at the correct height on their chair. With a range including economic footrests, high footrests and footrests which rock to stimulate ankle movement and blood flow, we have a model for all environments.

There are various factors that are key to getting your posture just right, and part of this is making sure feet are firmly supported on either the floor or a foot support.

 

Why use a foot rest?

Many people, particularly shorter users, don’t sit at the correct height for their desk (users should be sat with their arm rests slightly higher then the desk top). If they sit at the correct height, they are unable to touch the floor which places large strain on the knees and legs. Introducing a foot rest enables the user to sit at the correct height and also have their feet fully supported. This problem is also felt in high workstation environments such as laboratories and counters. With footrests height adjustable to 37cm from the floor such as the 959 foot rest, we have a model for any user or environment.

The height of your desk and the length of your legs will all make a difference to whether you will need a footrest. For example, if you are of small stature and working at a standard height desk – usually 72cm high. You should sit at a height where you can relax your shoulders when typing and have your feet flat and supported. Ideally your feet will need to be supported on a footrest with a good height variation and legs that do not impede the base of your chair. Another option is a electric height adjustable desk
