Why do I use a footrest when sitting at my desk?
Since using the footrest, I find that my back can lean against the back of the chair more comfortably, my head can rest more comfortably on the headrest, and I also don't have to bear the weight of the lower part of my leg, which is dangling because the attached leg cannot touch the ground when sitting in the correct position on the chair.
According to my experience, if you want to sit correctly, the height of the table and chair must correspond to the length from the knees to the feet. And I find that most normal table top heights (72cm, 76cm, 78cm...) are higher than the height where I can sit comfortably in a chair, hands on the keyboard, feet comfortably on the ground... so having a footrest will help me feel more comfortable. When you put your feet on a footrest, your buttocks or thighs no longer need to support the lower part of your legs. The feet are touching a hard, solid ground and are no longer hanging. It goes back to the nature of the leg, which is to be placed on some foundation, not suspended. When I put my feet on the table, I can now sit close to the back of the chair. At this time, many parts of the body will be lifted by the back of the chair and reduce the need for the buttocks to support the entire body. This time you will feel more comfortable and lighter.
I used two footrests from Long Home (sent to me a long time ago by someone over there) made of wooden surface and stainless steel frame. It looks a bit cheesy, but it's flexible and the height is right for me. I've been using it for a long time (probably 2 or 3 years) and it's still the same as when I first bought it. Appearance and features are still good. This is delicious. The second one I recently bought from D'egro. This one looks nicer (in my opinion), more modern, seems mechanical. Not as flexible and a bit low. Footrests don't cost much but provide a good experience for sitting in a chair. If you find out more information, people also talk about the types of spine, back, buttocks, head, ergonomics... in this topic I only talk about comfort when sitting. If you have the means, you should try it or buy it and see how it goes. Social Twitter now has so many things to try 😁
