Inflatable Footrest Travel Foot Rest Cushion 40 x 30 x 43cm

Description

This inflatable footrest inflates to 40 x 30 x 43cm, deflates into the carry bag it comes with, and costs $29.99 - a flocked PVC cushion in grey that gives your feet somewhere to sit at a height that suits you. Inflate it under a desk, in front of a chair or in a seat while travelling, and let it down flat when you are done.

Short legs and tall chairs are a bad combination. If your feet dangle or your knees are pushed up, you shift position constantly and nothing feels comfortable for long. A rigid footstool fixes it at home but is useless anywhere else, and it takes up floor space permanently. An inflatable one holds its shape while it is in use and packs down to nothing when it is not, which is the entire reason people buy this rather than a wooden stool - it goes in a bag.

What's in the Box

Why Choose This Inflatable Footrest

• Packs into a bag - it deflates completely, so it travels in hand luggage rather than living in a corner of a room.
• Adjustable by how much you inflate it - a firmer or lower rest is a matter of letting some air out.
• 43cm at full height - tall enough to matter under a desk or in front of a chair.
• Flocked top surface - softer underfoot than bare PVC and less slippery in socks.
• Wipes and washes clean - a sealed surface rather than a fabric cover that absorbs everything.

How Firm Should an Inflatable Footrest Be?

Slightly under full. A cushion inflated rock hard has no give and pushes back against your feet, and it also puts the seams under more stress than they need to be. Inflate it until it holds its shape and then let a little air out so the top surface yields when you rest your weight on it. Air pressure also changes with temperature, so a cushion inflated hard in a cool room can become over inflated in a warm one - another reason not to fill it completely.

Can You Use It Under an Office Desk?

Yes, and it is one of the most common uses. At 43cm high it suits a standard desk chair, and because you control the height by how much air you put in, you can match it to your own leg length rather than accepting whatever a moulded footstool gives you. Keep it on a flat floor rather than a sloped one, and put it away or deflate it if the space is shared, since anything on the floor under a desk is a trip hazard for the next person.

Are Inflatable Footrests Allowed on Aeroplanes?

That depends entirely on the airline, and a number of airlines do not permit inflatable footrests in the cabin at all - they can obstruct the aisle and the row's exit path. Check your airline's current policy before you fly rather than assuming, and expect cabin crew to have the final say. The cushion itself packs into hand luggage without difficulty; the question is whether you will be allowed to inflate it once on board.

Buyers are typically shorter adults whose feet do not reach the floor comfortably at a desk, people who work long hours seated, travellers on long flights and coach journeys, and campers and caravanners who want a footrest that packs flat. It is also bought for children on long car trips to bridge the footwell.

If you want something for your feet at a desk that needs no inflating, the wooden foot roller is a good companion. Browse the Home and Garden range for more comfort and household items.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a pump included?
No. You receive the cushion and a carry storage bag. It can be inflated by mouth or with any standard pump.

What is the weight limit?
The manufacturer does not publish a weight rating. It is designed as a footrest, not as a seat or a step.

Can children rest on it?
It is a footrest cushion, not a bed or a child restraint. Never use it to bridge seats or to support a sleeping child, and always supervise children around inflatable products.

How do I clean it?
Wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild detergent, then dry it before deflating and storing.

Will it puncture easily?
It is PVC and can be punctured like any inflatable. Keep it away from sharp objects and pets, and do not drag it across rough surfaces.
