Still, most children have one thing in common – they can’t sit still for long. “Children’s bodies are full of kinetic energy that needs to be released. Science also shows that the learning benefits from physical activity. No matter if it’s wild play before the homework or moving the body while you study,” says Anna and explains how it inspired to create the footrest in the series. “You can rock it back and forth with the feet and use it as support to sit more ergonomically.”

ÖVNING Multifunctional ergonomic footrest
The footrest raises the child's feet so that they have an upright, relaxed posture when studying, which develops a good habit of sitting correctly.
The curved surface encourages the child to rock with their feet in a completely natural way.
Perfect to use in order to vary the working position by the desk or on the floor.
Teenagers and adults can also use the footrest to support their lumbar region, knees or ankles.

Very Comfy!ElizabethExactly what I needed at my desk, helps my overall posture as well
Simple footrest that feels good.NickThe shape is a little weird, but gets the job down for a footrest while you sit down.
Works perfectlySusanExactly what I needed for working at my art table. The grippy dots keep it in place under my feet.
Great ergo footrestJonathanComfortable ergonomic footrest for feet
Great foot restValerieSubtle aesthetic, I use it mostly under my dining table when doing office work there. Stays put but also easy to move because it’s so light
Amazing Comfort Upgrade!ZoricaI've been using this footrest for a couple of weeks now, and it's made a noticeable difference in my daily comfort. Whether I'm working long hours at my desk or just relaxing, it helps improve my posture and reduces strain on my legs and lower back. The cushioning is soft yet supportive, and the non-slip base keeps it firmly in place. It’s one of those small upgrades that make a big impact—highly recommend for anyone with a desk job or just looking to improve their sitting setup!
Very Comfortable FootstoolJennifferThis is great for a footstool. It is very comfortable, and helps me to sit in a better position at my desk which reduces my back pain. However, I found it to be too hard for the other uses as suggested in the pictures.
Wedge pillowCatWell - it’s the best! I’m actually using it as a wedge under my knees in bed and as a rest on the floor for my feet and knees when at my desk. I have a tally used it on a long trip in the back seat when it was my turn to rest from driving. I have a sometimes wonky knee and it helps relieve the tension and pressure on it. Thanks IKEA. ♥️
Excellent ManalExcellent and firm . Very suitable hight for my feet. Exactly what I wanted.
great function but way over pricedJieunnot sure where it is made of.
it is well made.
not just filled with foam but actually it balances well.
but still it is not worth the price.
I am pretty sure you can make around 10 dollars.
and still be profitable

FootrestKristinaGreat product for someone who is shorter. This footrest gives support for my back and legs allowing me to sit comfortably at work.
Comfortable Foot RestHélèneGreat product. Do not slip, comfortable.
OvningGinaI love that you can use it many ways (e.g. under desk, under head, under forearms) and that the cover is washable.
Still experimentingRoseStill playing with this item to see how it can help my comfort at my desk.
foot restGeorginevery comfortable and just what you need under a desk.
only thing, if you need to move it, you need both of your hands. would be nice to have a small grab hoop on the side
Practical & great for hips & postureFionaThe only reason I gave it 4 stars is because it is very difficult to get the cover on and off for washing. Otherwise, I love it!
I'm shortJenniferThis is perfect, my feet can be comfortable while I am actually sitting properly in the chair. In different positions, it allows me to fidget by rocking my feet or relax with them stretched out. Simple but great for anyone with leg posture problems at the computer.

Story
Get the homework started
Sometimes it can be hard to find a quiet nook and get started with the homework. With the ÖVNING series, we wanted to develop smart tools so your child can more easily find peace and quiet. In the room as well as in body and mind.
“When we do home visits and interview children around the world, we see that not all have the same need when they do their homework. Some work best at a desk, while others rather move around or spread out on the floor,” tells Anna Carme, who works with the range in Children’s IKEA. “That’s why quite some flexibility is needed around the homework, and that insight helped us develop ÖVNING.”
Room for lively legs
Have fun and find focus
To have your own place of study is important but it doesn’t have to be at a desk. With the desk divider and the desk accessories organizer in the ÖVNING series, it becomes easier to create an own private space that you can take with you to the dining table or the sofa – and personalize with pictures and fun things. “To have fun and move around regularly is often confused with distraction and lack of concentration. We think it’s the opposite. When the study time is flexible and feels fun, it helps the child to focus. It simply works as a reward and a positive spiral.”
Function solution
Working for long periods in uncomfortable positions can lead to tension and pain. With ÖVNING footrest behind the lumbar region, you enjoy nice support that helps you keep your back straight and relieves your back, shoulders and neck.
