- Watch my travel product review of the airplane foot hammock. It is an interesting piece of travel gear that I find worth packing. It is lightweight, rolls up small and is affordable. If you have a long flight in your future, I suggest purchasing one.
Here is an Amazon affiliate link for one: amzn.to/2Bk2kLB
I took one of these on a 10 hour flight recently but didn’t use it as the food tray was in the way.. It never occurred to me that pushing the food tray table up would work... soo glad that I watched this and even happier that I didn’t throw the hammock away :) yayyy
Yeah! Glad I could shed some light.
Finally i got it, thanks
I have bought this for my upcoming 11-hours long international flight! Everyone has been saying that this is such a game changer. I'm excited!
Was it any helpful? Would you recommend?
Same question as below: would you recommend it?
Update ?
TU going to get one for my upcoming 8 hr flight
Amazing!
Thanks!
Thank you! I have one but could not figure out how to attach it!
Great! I am still using mine to this day. Enjoy!
I've done a lot of long haul flights in my time as I'm in Aus. I've seen over the years how passenger comfort has changed and foot rests have been a big casualty in cattle class for a while, though not on all airlines. My feet swell if my legs dangle for too long (I'm only 5'1") and I have sciatic nerve issues so comfort is never easy when that is affected by seat height. Have finally purchased one of these and will be using next month when I travel to Boston. Hope it works better than the last long haul I took recently, overnight to Hong Kong where I used my bag to rest my feet!
Let me know how it works for you. I sure hope it helps!
I’m in AUSTRALIA too. Were you happy with this footrest?
I fly mostly hawaiian tray table comes out of armrest can’t use these for that
Oh that is a bummer. I've never flown Hawaiin before, but that is good to know in case I do. I will not pack my hammock.
Very helpful, I'm trying to figure out if I buy a foot hammock or an inflatable footrest.
Btw, you remind me of Brené Brown :)
What a compliment! Thank you! I've been looking at trying out an inflatable footrest myself. The foot hammock is just so much easier to pack. If you decide to try out the inflatable footrest, let me know how it goes.
This would help the long travel but not all airlines allow it. I could use it on Turkish Airlines but Asiana Airlines does not allow it at all anytime. I always wonder how high or low off the ground is best for sleeping?
That is a bummer about Asiana Airlines. Thankfully, most airlines are still accommodating.
To answer your question, I think it depends. I usually like it about 4 to 6 inches above the ground. But if you have shorter legs, you may need it higher. It all depends on what is most comfortable for you and your leg length.
I'm ordering one now! I have an inflatable foot rest but feel it would be more bothersome. Thanks for the good review!
That is awesome! Let us know how it treats you.

In your opinion, do u think the hammock is way more comfortable than the footrests airlines have built in already for their economy seats ? Such as like turkish/singapore
Oh dear! I completely missed your question. I apologize for my delayed response. I like the hammock a little bit better because it is adjustable and you can subtly swing your feet if you want to. However, built-in footrests are also nice.
Also, many airlines don't have foot rests in economy. So that's where these can help a lot.
Wouldn't the swinging movement annoy the person in front ?
Yea, wondering same thing. I want it for the kids, but don’t want to bother the person in front.
This is a question I have gotten before and I can understand your concern. If you were to swing vigorously, then yes, it will probably move the seat in front of you. But if you are slightly rocking a few inches, it does not pull on the seat. I have tested this out and have not seen any movement. Better yet, I have never had the person in front of my give me the stink eye. I actually feel worse about reclining my seat. That has a bigger impact than the foot hammock.
I cannot provide any insight into kids using this product. As an adult, I do not use it in a way that bothers the person in front of me. But kids are a whole different ballgame :)
Is this thing for people whose feet can't reach the floor or is it just changing the angle of your knees and hips. I'm 6 ft 4 I know I won't get one but what does it do for people who are 5 foot 5 or whatever
I am 5'10", do you think this would work?
Yes I do! It is completely adjustable. So you could put your feet two inches about the ground, or 10. Of course, if you adjusted it really high, your knees would be in your chest! I'm 5'8" and I like the variety. Just this past weekend I used it on a flight out of Chicago. I had it up about a foot off the ground for an hour or so. Then I put my feet on the ground for a while. Then I put it up about 4 inches off the ground for the rest of the trip. It is just nice to mix things up when you are stuck in the same seat for hours.

So this doesn't work on first class seats?
I don't believe so. Either the set up will be wrong or there will be too much space...which is not a bad thing!
I might try a diy of this
Good idea! Let us know how it turns out.
Jane Sees The World I travel in March so I’ll try to remember to post
I'm 4'7" and my legs kill me because they dangle. I'm going to try this.
Oh good! I hope it works out for you!

@@azfarali9437 tried messaging...it didn't work. I work overseas and have long flights. I'd love to try one.
@@kalinadorazio2339 offer is old, I need to contact with seller.
I am not in touch for a week almost. I need to recheck if it's still valid.

Unless you're about 5'5" or shorter I can't see how this would work.
I am 5'8' and my best friend is 5'8." It works for both of us just fine. Maybe if you are REALLY tall it won't work, but I have not had any issues.
I’m glad I’m 5’4
Meanwhile, back in the real world, never been on a flight where the guy in front didn't recline his seat so it hit my knees so . . .
I guess you could always pull your underseat bag back and rest your feet on that instead.
Yeaaaah. That's always a bummer for the tall folks.
@@JaneSeesTheWorld Its a bummer for everyone. Disgusting how little room there is between seats.
