The Ergohuman chair is an ergonomic masterpiece as it is. With the power to transform your work experience and increase productivity, there's a reason it's labelled one of the best executive chairs on the market. But there's a way to increase its comfort further by adding on the optional legrest. Is it worth it?
An office chair with a legrest can improve your posture further, reduce lower back pain, and prevent leg fatigue. In this guide, we're uncovering the importance of a reclining office chair with a legrest. Learn whether you require a legrest for your Ergohuman, its potential drawbacks, and how to use the legrest properly.
The Ergohuman goes beyond the ordinary. It's a truly ergonomic chair designed to suit most individuals.

The Ergohuman chair offers an optional legrest. But please note that the legrest is not a default feature. It's an optional extra that you can include if you require it. The flexibility of including a legrest underscores Comfort's commitment to adjustability. We recognise that everyone's needs are unique.
When ordering a legrest, a headreset is also required. A headrest is essential for using a legrest as it provides the optimum neck support when the user is reclining with their legs up.
When investing in the Ergohuman Elite, Mirus Elite, or Enjoy Elite, it's important to prioritise all-day comfort. A legrest may help you achieve ultimate comfort. Let's delve into the specific benefits of an office chair with a legrest.
The legrest helps to maintain a neutral spine and reduces pressure on the lower back. This leads to less slouching and, therefore, keeps the spine in its natural position to prevent discomfort.
Keeping your feet elevated can encourage blood flow, reducing numbness and tingling in the legs. Improved blood flow can prevent discomfort and fatigue during long work sessions. Oxygen and nutrients are able to reach lower limbs more efficiently, too, improving overall vascular health.
Having a legrest on your office chair can make a significant difference in relieving leg pain and stiffness. It provides the required support, promotes a better ergonomic sitting posture, and reduces the strain on leg muscles. This decreased muscle tension and fatigue results in fewer aches and pains, leading to a more comfortable and productive work experience.
The legrest helps distribute your weight more evenly by elevating your feet and promoting a balanced posture. This minimises the strain on your lower back, reducing the risk of discomfort and pain. It's a simple yet effective solution to enhance your seating comfort for long working days.
A legrest addition mitigates leg fatigue during extended periods of sitting, providing a stable foundation for your feet. By minimising strain on leg muscles, the legrest ensures sustained energy levels and focus throughout the workday. This ergonomic solution embodies Comfort’s commitment to employee well-being, fostering a professional environment that prioritises performance.
A desk chair with a legrest enhances comfort by providing foot and leg support. This helps promote a more relaxed and ergonomic sitting posture. The legrest reduces strain on the back and legs, providing unmatched comfort during extended periods of sitting.

An angle-adjustable legrest offers customisable support to align with individual preferences. The legrest's flexibility allows users to adapt the chair for improved comfort no matter their preference or job role, contributing to a more versatile workspace. With the Ergohuman being a fully adjustable chair, we ensured the legrest also offered dynamic adjustability.
An ergonomic office chair with a legrest can reduce swelling by promoting better blood circulation. Elevating the feet helps prevent fluid build-up in the lower extremities. This improved circulation supports the movement of blood and lymphatic fluid, preventing oedema and enhancing overall comfort.
A legrest on an office chair supports versatile sitting by offering additional support and adaptability. Users can adjust the legrest to their preferred angle, accommodating various sitting positions. This flexibility caters to individual comfort preferences, providing a range of options for sitting postures throughout the day. It's especially convenient if you switch between sitting positions during the day, such as being upright or leaning back for a brainstorming session.

While legrests on office chairs offer several benefits, there are potential drawbacks to consider:
1. Limited mobility
Some users may find legrests restrictive, limiting their ability to move or change positions freely.
2. Space limitations
Legrests can increase the footprint of the chair, potentially causing issues in smaller workspaces. For instance, the legrest might not suit some home offices.
3. Individual preferences
Individual preferences differ, and what is comfortable for one person may not be suitable for another.
4. Not suitable for all tasks
A legrest may be an interference for work requiring frequent movement or standing.
It's important to carefully assess your needs and preferences before opting for the legrest. Consider the nature of your work, available space, and whether the legrest aligns with your requirements and working style.
If you experience elevated comfort with a legrest, then it's worth using. This is especially helpful for shorter individuals, those who struggle with keeping a neutral posture, and those with increased leg pain. A legrest can mitigate strain and fatigue, and help blood flow, therefore reducing swelling. However, if you switch from sitting to standing often or have limited space, a legrest on your office chair might not be right for you.
Ergohuman's legrest is automatically set to elevate your legs to the optimal angle for comfort, while balancing the chair's centre of gravity for safe reclining.
