A removable board at the bottom gives feet a stable rest and prevents feet rolling into each other.
The company said: “Using this plane footrest, let your legs gently sway with the movement of the plane to help prevent lower back pain, stiffness and leg swelling suffered during long flights.
“You can simply hang the foot sling on the arms of the tray table and place your feet in footrest.
“The adjustable strap allows for the perfect length to provide necessary support to your feet.”
