IF YOU ARE SHORT, YOU NEED THIS!

Wow, what a difference! I am not into travel gadgets, but this made all the difference on two long haul flights. I am 5' tall, and I always struggled to get my feet off the floor and release pressure on my lower back during long flights. The Sleepy Ride foot/ leg hammock is the perfect solution! When I used it under my calves to elevate my legs, the wide, comfy memory foam pad supported my legs in exactly the right position ( My feet slid right under the seat in front). I also used the sleepy ride by placing both feet on the hammock and turning to the side for a perfect side sleeping position. Lastly , I tried placing one foot on the hammock, knees bent, with the other leg straight forward with the calf supported by the hammock. All three positions were great, and I actually managed to sleep, even though I was in the dreaded middle seat. Btw, these were Delta flights, and contrary to what another reviewer said, I had no problem installing the sleepy ride on the tray table as directed. I cannot recommend this product highly enough!

Great device. ONE CAUTION, THOUGH.

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.

International flights in coach are terrible...but this helps.

I recently travel to Africa on a series of flights lasting over 24 hours in total in Delta and KLM coach. Let’s all agree that no matter what you do, this kind of flying is going to be painful, but I did find that this device helped. I’m 5’4, average build, and I was able to use in every seat, though I found it was better in delta vs KLM given the way the tray table folds out. It’s nice and squishy which is why I chose this one over some of the more affordable options. Folds up nicely to fit into a side pocket of a backpack, which was great because we only carried carry-ons. I even got lucky on one of the flights home and had an empty seat next to me. I was able to hang it on the tray of the empty seat and stretch out nicely. Definitely recommend if you have a long flight coming up! One caveat..I’m not sure this would work if I was much taller or wider—I have the luxury of folding my legs up in front of me which is really required to make this work. Happy flying!

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!

Not only was the footrest super comfy and easy to use

This was a lifesaver on a recent non-stop flight from LAX to Paris, and back. Not only was the footrest super comfy and easy to use, it really made the long flight bearable. At the end of the flight my feet and legs were not swollen at all, like they usually are after a long flight. I like to kick off my shoes during long flights and when I put my shoes back on, they fit like they normally do, no swollen feet, ankles or legs. I will never fly again without this footrest.

So far so good

I was not paid to write this review. I am not a robot. I actually bought this because I fly transcons every so often and wanted to test this out in preparation for a transatlantic flight later on. I tested it out on a 3-hr Delta flight while seated on a window seat. For the most part, I was comfortable. I think I should have adjusted the footrest slightly higher, but even at the position it was at, it was better than just leaving your feet rest flat on the floor. There was definitely a difference after I decided to pack up the footrest prior to landing. That being said, I think I would have truly enjoyed this even more if I had booked Comfort+ as my legs were a bit cramped (then again, the configuration of the airplane is what made it cramped). First things first: it comes in a plastic zipper case which you can use instead of the actually carrying bag (I'll keep using it instead of the bag since it can protect against water and such). The footrest itself is easy to set up in an airplane: 1. Open the tray table in front of you and buckle it so that once the table is closed, the footrest remains in place. 2. Gently raise your feet and place them on the footrest (be considerate of the person in front of you; remember: you're both packed like sardines so don't make their experience worse). 3. Relax and enjoy the flight! If you need to move your feet, do it gently so that the seat in front of you doesn't rock. I switched my legs from crossed to uncrossed to side and the seat barely nudged, all while enjoying my rest. Now, caveats: 1. Not all airlines will allow this. Consult your airline to see if there will be any issues with this. Even if the airline doesn't allow it, the worst that can happen is that they ask you to take it down, but keep reading. 2. Not all airplanes are capable of supporting this. Regional jets (CRJs, ERJs) have very little legroom, small tray tables, and very weak seats. You're better off going with the mainline jets (Airbus, Boeing). Besides, for the flight time of those jets, it's not even worth taking out. 3. Not all seats can accommodate you. Don't get a bulkhead seat or one that has a seat way ahead of you. The footrest will not work. 4. Not all remaining seats are the same. Airlines have to abide by safety regulations and exit row seats and aisle seats will be big no-nos. You're better off booking a window seat if you're on your own or a middle seat if someone you know is traveling in the window seat. You SHOULD NOT impede access to the aisle for anyone (that's how they'll ask you to take it down). Even if your entire party is seated next to you, never use this on an aisle seat. 5. You're probably better off with nothing under the seat in front of you so you can take advantage of various positions (legs extended but still suspended being the best one). However, be considerate of others and if you have a handbag or backpack, place it there and leave the space overhead for carryons. Finally, not all airlines are made equally. Legacy carriers like American, Delta, and United offer Economy Plus cabins that have a bit more legroom and may make it more comfortable to use this. Budget airlines like Spirit have so little legroom that there is no way you'll enjoy this. If you're flying in first class, it's pointless since the tray table is under the armrest and there is plenty of leg space as it is (unless you're flying an intl. configuration in which case it truly is pointless to bring it out).

Short? Long haul flight ahead? You need this.

I bought these for my daughter and myself for our trip to Australia. They made a very long flight much more comfortable! Highly recommended!

Fly often and under 5'6"? DEFINITELY get this.

I fly a lot. I'm 5'4" and sometimes the seats are just NOT okay. you know airplane seats were ergonomically designed for men? Well, yes. So this thing can be really useful because a long flight where your legs don't *quite* touch the floor is hell. First-world hell, but that's a type of hell, I guess. It's also soft, so sometimes I just place it behind my lower back or use it as a pillow. Versatility, baby!

I am 5'4" and always like a carry on bag to prop my feet on ...

I am 5'4" and always like a carry on bag to prop my feet on when I fly. I was going to Europe and then Tahiti and thought I would give this a try. You open your tray then hook the strap over the tray bars right up next to the seat back and close your tray. You can adjust the height. It was so comfy for me to prop my feet on the strap. I had sent the link to my girlfriend and she got one too. I don't know if our hubbies would have lived it as much as their legs are longer but for us, it made our long flights a lot more comfortable.

Bliss!

Do you get twitchy on long flights? Restless leg syndrome? Cold feet? No budget for first class with fancy footrests or beds?! We flew from California to Ireland last week and this little wonder was a lifesaver. To be honest, there's not enough room in coach to recline like their photo indicates, but slide it onto the tray table, adjust the footrest to enable your feet to be cradled in it. (I brought slipper socks.) It keeps pressure off the backs of your thighs, improves circulation and makes feet comfy and warm. Ahhhh... I won't travel without it again.
