Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

As airplane seats (coach) and their surrounding personal spaces shrink from square feet to square inches, any help getting comfortable is important, especially on long flights. This has probably been the most useful travel item I've ever bought. Better than foot rests that collapse and dissappear into the nether regions under and around the bottom of he seat, this sling stays in place I am less than 5'2"and usually experience leg discomfort because my legs don't touch the floor enough for them to be able to completely relax. The picture on the ad shows someone with their legs stretched out completely. I couldn't get into this position myself because the area around airplane seat is just too tight, and the seat in front of me was too close to the floor. But this footrest-sling design enabled me to basically bring the floor up to a comfortable level, and was soft and adjustable. Experiment to find out if it will work for you. The sling will be about 8-10" in front of your seat, and will be about 10-12" lower than the hinges that support your plane's tray table, when the sling is adjusted to its lowest position. It will move forward up to 90 degrees (straight ahead) if the seat in front of you permits. BE AWARE: Take your legs or feet off of the sling before lowering your tray table since the added weight of your legs will pretty severely jerk the seat in front of you. In that particular instance for me, the seat directly in front of me was empty, but the passengers on either side were also effected. After becoming embarrassed, and apologizing profusely, the passengers in front of me smiled and forgot it. I learned my lesson. It's simple physics, but I didn't think it through at the time. I'm very happy with this purchase.
