First Class in Coach!
Most of my flights are 10-12 hours long, and staying comfortable is constant a struggle. Generally, I rest my feet on the bag under the seat in front of me. I recently tried out my Sleepy Ride Airplane Footrest on a couple shorter flights (3 hours each) and was pleasantly surprised by how much more comfortable I felt. On one of the flights, I was seated in the middle seat. The footrest was completely unobtrusive to my surrounding passengers. The adjustable straps easily fit around the arms of the tray table of the seat in front of me. I kept the tray table up most of the time, and rested my feet flat with my knees bent. For the return flight, I adjusted the length as one would adjust the strap on a backpack, and slid the footrest behind my calves, elevating my legs. It felt as if I were sitting in a recliner with my feet raised. I highly recommend trying this product, as it makes a ride in coach feel like first class. Additionally, I am purchasing one for my mother to use when she flies. I washed the footrest and its carrying bag in the washing machine and let them air dry. Both remained in excellent condition.
Edited: Just returned from 10 hours of flying and was able to fall asleep using this footrest. I was startled awake by the announcements every so often, but was other than those interruptions, I felt quite comfortable. Again, having my feet elevated proved conducive to getting some rest. Both flights, I was in the middle seat. I used both the Kuhi-Comfort pillow and Sleepy Ride Airplane Footrest on the flight out, but only the footrest on the return flight. As in previous flights, I slid the sling behind the lower part of my calves which slightly raised my legs, allowing my feet fit just under the bottom of the seat in front of me. Taking a sleeping pill or having a drink in order to sleep on a flight are not options I'd entertain, so finding alternative ways to sleep on a plane has been a long process of trial and error. With this footrest, I've finally solved my problem!
