There are plenty of devices out there that claim to improve comfort on the road, including travel pillows and noise-cancelling headphones. Another area of the market is portable footrests, including the new HÄNGAR. It’s the first lightweight, adjustable and compact travel footrest in the world.
Take it with you on any journey and give economy-class seats a touch of first-class luxury. It acts like a hammock for your feet, giving you a more comfortable position on long trips. Hang the footrest from a fixed seat back or a tray table and adjust the length using the strap. You can use it almost anywhere, from planes and trains to automobiles.
Besides increasing comfort, there are health benefits to resting with your legs up. They include better circulation, reduced stress on the back and reduced inflammation of the legs. The HÄNGAR is made from ripstop nylon and vegan suede for durability and comfort, while YKK zippers add to security. It’s easy to pack down and carry in your hand luggage, adding hardly any weight or bulk to your bag.
Following a successful Kickstarter campaign the HÄNGAR will retail for $60. The first orders are expected to ship in May 2018.
