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 your feet and use it as support to sit more ergonomically.”

Hard pillowRebecaGot this item for my husband since he had knee replacement surgery a couple of weeks ago. It helps him with stretching
Great for CrochetingMicheleReally like this footrest, it helps me to sit up straight while on the couch and also helps while sitting and crocheting. It was an impulse buy, so happy I bought it. Highly recommend.
So nice!YvonneThis is so much better and lighter than the wood and metal versions. The foam is very dense and can easily be turned around and upside down to make your posture perfect!
Great for footrestTimothyGreat for under desk foot support. Only input would be to maybe offer water proof version
love it!Shirleymy daughter loves it.uses for her feet under the table. supportive. didn’t slip & slide - stays in place.
My feet love it!SatangaThe footstool is firm. It provides great support for my feet. It elevates my feet just enough to relieve swelling. So happy I purchased this footstool.
Not what I ExpectedYenhongMaybe some other will like it, but it isnt what I was looking for.
The texture seems okay, but the firmness is on the higher side. I was expecting some support like a firm memory foam, but it turned out the firmness is more like a hay stack or without the straw poking part. Eventually my cat took over it and use it as a scratch pillow, which worked out great for him.
Impressive foot rest!TinaVery high quality and well made - very firm, probably the perfect foot rest. Considering getting a second one for my other desk.
PerfectAnonymousI mean it's exactly what you think when you see it. It's a SUPER firm and very light "pillow" and god so comfy when I'm at my desk. I like being able to rock it or stabilize it by flipping it.
This is a great inexpensive footrest.RomiThis is a great inexpensive footrest. Lightweight so it's easy to move around. I have one at my computer desk and one at each of my sewing tables.
wowYingLove it very much.
Great Foot RestSarahThis makes sitting at my desk much more comfortable and the non-slip dots are a nice touch. I also appreciate that the cover can be removed and washed if needed.
Perfect 👌 KyoungaMy 11-year-old boy loves it. It's good for under his desk.
comfy legs/feetJamieI use this with my poang chair instead of its matching ottoman because of the space limitation. It makes my sitting position very comfortable. I like its clean look, the firmness, the angle, and the height. It's perfect for a short person like me (for reference, I'm 5'2"). Obviously, it's good for kids!
Very goodChristaVery good and comfortable to use
Back saverKellynBest in service for comfort & price

Nice foot StoolRaulSimple foot stool that works.
love this little foot restSammivery cute, allows me to sit in an ergonomic way, and I need to thank the designers for having the insert be wrapped in a protective plastic cover. My house just dealt with a flea infestation and the plastic insert is safe from those nasty little bugs.

Story
Get the homework started
Sometimes it can be hard to find a quiet nook and get started with homework. With the ÖVNING series, we wanted to develop smart tools so your child can 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 to 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.
