Designed with a modular approach to height, the ErgoFoam footrest features a two-piece system that allows for an adjustment between 3.9 inches and 5.9 inches. This is achieved via a Velcro-affixed riser, which removes the need for mechanical hinges that might break over time. The high-density foam core is built to resist "bottoming out," ensuring the support remains firm even during long shifts at a desk.
The velvet polyester cover provides a soft touch for those who prefer to work without shoes, though it is designed to be durable enough for standard footwear. Tests show that the high-resilience foam maintains its structural integrity and height even when exposed to body heat, unlike standard memory foam which can soften and lose its shape. The underside features a high-friction beaded surface to keep the unit in place on most floor types.
Best Practices for Use
- Position the curved side away from you to utilize the rocking function for calf movement.
- Keep the Velcro interface clear of carpet fibers or pet hair to ensure the riser remains securely attached.
- Use a standard lint roller on the velvet cover periodically to maintain the aesthetic and keep the zipper clear.
This footrest is particularly well-suited for users who need a specific height to achieve lumbar comfort but want the softness of a foam product. The 5.9-inch maximum height is among the taller options for foam-based supports, accommodating various inseam lengths and desk heights.
If you prefer a hard-surface option with integrated massage features, the Huanuo adjustable footrest includes a dedicated massage roller.
