Footstools, such as the Boston Guitar Footstool, are also used by musicians, especially guitarists. The footstool serves the foot on the grip hand side as a base. The higher position of the leg results in a more optimal guitar position, with the neck of the instrument slightly raised. This attitude allows the guitarist to grasp the neck of the instrument ergonomically and easily. Footstools are mainly used in combination with classical guitars. Footbands continue to be used occasionally in combination of semi-resonant guitars in jazz.

Depending on the child’s imagination, the footstool is a horse, a car or even an airplane. Furthermore, a footstool makes it easier for the offspring to find certain places, for example a specific subject in one shelfto reach, which supports the independence of the son or daughter. Particularly practical is a height-adjustable model with integrated recessed grips. The recessed grips make it easier for the child to carry the footstool to another location.

In the office and in the home study, a footrest that can be adjusted in inclination and height, for example the product Unilux water-repellent foot rest, ensures a better blood circulation and sitting posture. The raised position of the feet prevents a wrong posture and the resulting pain while sitting. The pressure on the lumbar area during a sitting activity and premature fatigue are also minimized by a footstool.

Inflatable footstools

Inflatable footsteps, for example, the product of manufacturer Audew, perform well on their feet and legs during a flight. An elevated foot position reduces swelling of the feet to a minimum and improves blood circulation to the feet and legs. Inflatable footrests can be taken everywhere and are always at hand when needed.

Criteria to consider when choosing a footstool

Footstools are made of different materials, for example wood, plastic and metal. Regardless of what material the footstool is made of, it is important to pay attention to clean and solid workmanship. The corners of the footrest should definitely be rounded off. When buying a footstool made of wood, care should be taken. The wood or the paints, glazes or paints must under no circumstances contain toxic substances. We recommend a product that is made of wood from sustainable and certified forestry, for example the two-level footstool of NATUREHOME Design 2. Furthermore, the new footstool should be height adjustable, non-tilting and non-slip to prevent accidents.
