The Cozy Foot Rest from Aidata bridges the gap between design simplicity and sound ergonomic benefits. The manually-adjusted locked-angle, foot platform measures approximately 17.7" wide by 13.5" deep, and is secured to a gently sloping frame made of high-impact plastic. The platform locks in at fixed angles of 10°, 15°, 20°, and 25° that can be easily changed by hand. Height at the back of the foot platform varies with the angle selected; 3.5" at the lowest angle, to 6.5" at the highest. The side supports remain fixed at 6.75" with the platform moving up or down between them. To ensure that feet remain comfortably in place the surface incorporates a design of flattened elevated ridges alternating with shallow grooves. Rubber pads on the base keep the foot rest secured in place on both carpeted and hard floors.
Note: Because the platform locks at specific angles the Cozy Foot Rest is considered a "locking" foot rest. | Ergonomic Benefits |
---|
Reduces Risk of Plantar flexion - Inappropriate seat height can leave individuals with their feet unable to touch the floor or, if they do touch, force the feet into plantar flexion. A foot rest like the Cozy Foot Rest can reduce the risk of plantar flexion by not only raising the surface on which the feet rest (so that both legs and feet are adequately supported) but also by adjusting the angle at which the feet rest in relation to the direction of the legs (optimally at slightly more than 90°).
Reduces Strain on Lower Thighs - Blood circulation around the lower thighs can be impeded when a person is sitting on a chair without sufficient support for the lower legs and feet. In this situation the weight of the lower limbs can create a pinch point towards the front of the seatpan, potentailly reducing circulation to the lower thighs, which in turn can lead to pain and fatigue in the lower extremities. This often happens because the chair is too high. The Cozy Foot Rest can help reduce this strain by supporting the feet on a raised platform, thereby allowing unrestricted circulation throughout the legs and feet.
Improves Upper Body Posture - The Cozy Footrest provides a stable and natural support for the feet while seated, encouraging a more upright and structurally supportive posture. The improved posture can reduce the risk of upper back, shoulder and neck pain.

| Usage Tips |
---|
- Make an effort to determine the correct height for the seatpan on your chair. Ensure that your feet are supported at a height suited to your position in the chair when you are sitting upright. You should be able to rest your feet on the footrest without tilting the chair forward or having to stretch for the footrest. Alternatively, it should not be too high as this can lift the thighs off the seatpan of the chair, a position that can increase the strain on the lower spine.
- Select the platform angle that optimizes your comfort and achieves as neutral an alignment of your ankles as possible.
- Once your foot rest is correctly positioned make a point of sitting back in your chair and letting the backrest provide your back with the appropriate support. Not only is this good for the health of your back - it will also be more restful and has the potential to significantly reduce the risk of developing lower back pain due to poor posture. It may well also result in a more relaxed back, neck and shoulders with an accompanying reduction in end-of-day fatigue.
- After your chair and foot rest are correctly positioned ensure that appropriate adjustments are made to your monitor height. If you move from a "perching" posture to sitting back in your chair with correct upright posture you will most likely need to elevate your monitor since your head will be elevated and your line of sight will naturally follow suit.
- If you are comfortable working without footwear you may well find that the grooved surface can provide a degree of comfortable stimulation for the soles of your feet. Some people find that stimulating the nerves in the feet triggers an energizing effect.
