You might not know this, but using a footrest under your desk might be the best thing you ever do. Raising your feet off the floor is a more comfortable way to sit, but has other benefits, too, including helping you adopt a good posture.
Fellowes Standard
Reasons to buy
This no-fuss footrest features an adjustable height with a tilting platform and a surface covered with dimples to massage the soles of your feet. It's a no-compromise, long lasting product that gets the job done.
AmazonBasics footrest
Reasons to buy
This has a free-floating platform that tilts as you stretch your legs, helping you to promote better circulation with some basic exercise. The rubber feet do sometimes slip, but generally it works well.
Eureka Ergonomic
Reasons to buy
I'm a big fan of the eureka desks, so was eager to try the footrest and it didn't disappoint. It offers tilt adjustment and a textured surface for premium under-desk comfort with a 100% satisfaction guarantee and eco-friendly rubber.
StarTech
Reasons to buy
The StarTech footrest features both height and tilt adjustment as well as a large, bump-filled surface and platform rollers for ultimate comfort.
NEO CHAIR Marvel
Reasons to buy
Who doesn't want a stylish, licensed Captain America footrest that can also double up as a chair when you need it? No one, that's who.
Be comfy and healthy
Why you can trust Real Homes
The comfort and health benefits of using a footrest make one a valuable purchase for your office space at home or work. It doesn't have to be expensive, and if you're looking for something to raise your feet either the Fellowes or AmazonBasics is an excellent choice.
Both have dimpled surfaces to massage your feet, which isn't just a nice feeling but helps promote better circulation, all while you work. The AmazonBasics even allows you to do some fundamental exercises while you sit.
If you want something a little more lavish, or that can also be used as a chair from time to time, why not splurge on the NEO Chair Captain America footrest. The license is official, so this isn't just some knock-off product. And who doesn't want a little bit of Cap in their daily lives?
