Footrests

Problem

Tips

Corrective Action

I would like to obtain a footrest, what kind should I get?

A footrest is essentially a secondary floor - it needs to provide foot support as part of the seating system.

A phone book is NOT wide enough and stable enough to act as a good footrest.

 

Check out Tips for recommendations.

Size and type

Because the footrest needs to be a substitute floor it needs to be at height that supports your legs when your chair's seatpan is at the correct height. Go to Chairs to first learn how to set-up your chair.

Footrests are available that are height and angle adjustable.

Order footrest - go to Products - Foot rests.
