I am in need of a solid adjustable footrest for office work. Does anyone know if this footrest qualifies as an acceptable HSA purchase?

Off the shelf ergonomic equipment is not an eligible HSA expense. You *might* be able to qualify this type of equipment if you are able to get your doctor to write a prescription for it, but I'm not sure if that would even be an option for them.

Yes they are. This chair has the most versatile and functional leg rests of any we have found. We originally sought to get a chair that did a better job of elevating my mom's feet due to a sore on her heel that would not go away. Sore's all healed and Mom's in this chair about 8 hours a day.

No this type of chair is not FAA approve. Look for CARES retraining harness instead.

No, the seat portion is a stationery position, the only adjustable is the back and foot rests. We needed to put a rug underneath so it wouldn't slide when the client got on it. I would not put a "heavier" client on it.

Hi...I can only convey what my wife says (bought it for her)...She LOVES the product and she says it will work for your feet. She tried it out prompted by your question. She uses it mainly for her back and legs. Hope this helps.

I would call the company and see what they say about replacement foot rest.

This foot cushion is pretty firm. But I'm not sure if you want to put your weight on it because it will take you out of balance. If you just wish to rest one leg then it should be ok. Good luck.

I would not recommend this chair although it might "be the right size"You are going to be bearing your weight onto the seat's forward frame. If you buy it, get a good, adjustable footrest

Absolutely 100%. It is comfortable to sit on, never mind putting your feet up to rest. We are extremely pleased with this purchase, especially for fit & finish, comfort, price, value & free shipping. " Do not hesitate go for it.

You are correct. It may be too high even when the seat is at it's top position, but I haven't tried that. I don't think it was built as a foot rest.

Yes. The angle of inclination of the chair back is infinite between vertical and (almost completely) horizontal. What you CAN'T adjust - not a deal-breaker for me, but something to consider before purchase - is that there is no adjustment of the inclination of the SEAT. In other words, if you choose to adjust the back to a position somewhere between vertical and horizontal, you may find yourself slipping a bit. I love this chair, but not everyone will I'm sure. The only other caveats I've found in the month-plus I've had it are (1) the padding in the seat could be either firmer, or deeper, or both; and (2) the "foot" rest hits mid-calf on a person over six feet tall. You'll have to decide if either of these are deal-breakers FOR YOU.

I'm 5 foot seven and the chair was too high for my feet to touch the ground, and that was at the lowest setting it would go. I only use it occasionally at my desk. I had to purchase a different brand you use on a daily basis. But the chair was at a good price. I hope this was some help to you. Otherwise I think it would be comfortable it's well-made.

Those are questions the Mfgr or seller should answer, however, I can report that it is comfortable, roomy, really attractive, and easy to assemble (I think it came in two pieces). When putting it together be sure to listen for all of the "clicks." We must not have because for a day or two every time we leaned forward with the footrest up, it tipped forward. A simple lifting of the back and pushing down hard brought a "click" and stability. My daughter slept for 6 weeks in it following an automobile accident and the chair was totally comfortable and supportive.

Yes it is. This chair is great...the seat and footrest are both easily adjustable, the chair is easy to clean, and it is nice looking and very sturdy real wood. Go for it.

Great for the office, but not tall enough for anything else. It is very comfortable. But make sure you have a non slip pad under if you are using it on wood or title floors. I hope this helps you,Rosa

I use this ball for working at my computer. It functions well for me in this capacity. I have back/neck problems from herniated discs and this is far more comfortable for me than a conventional chair. I do not have a desk job so I'm not sitting on the ball for 8 hours a day. Just make sure you can inflate the ball to a comfortable height for your desk. The exercise height may be different than your desk height. I have the 65 cm ball and am considering ordering a 55 so that it might be slightly firmer when I inflate it to the correct height for my desk. I would like to inflate the 65 a bit more to be firmer, but then I would be sitting too tall for my desk. Overall, it is still my favorite desk chair. I use this ball for working at my computer.
