What’s the Ideal Footrest Length for a Recliner
Ideal Footrest Length for a Recliner? There’s nothing worse than buying something in the wrong size – clothing, shoes, batteries, wrenches, you name it.
Some customers worry that they have picked the wrong size chair if their feet extend past the end of the footrest of their recliner.
If you’ve noticed this, don’t be alarmed – this is actually the ideal positioning for your legs and feet. Take a look at the infographic below – what you learn might just surprise you!
So, Ideal Footrest Length for a Recliner?
Ambassador recommends the ideal footrest length allows for the ankle full clearance of the footrest. The ideal position is to have your heels extend past the footrest. This distributes the weight evenly to a large portion of your legs, allowing you to sit in comfort.
How do you find the ideal length of a footrest for you? Visit a local dealer with an Ambassador chair lift chair to be fitted correctly.
Custom Modifications for a Longer Footrest.
Each of the Ambassador chairs is manufactured individually and not on a big production line. So custom changes have minimal impact on the overall delivery time and cost. We are able to customise the height, width, depth, cushioning, and coverings to provide you a custom-built lift & recline chair suited to your needs. The standard chair has a footrest length of 26cm and can be extended by 3cm without impacting the standing function. Should we need to add extra length to the footrest, we can increase the seat depth. Providing an overall leg extension and a seat depth of around a meter. Further custom changes can be made to the footrest with pressure care, softer and thicker foam and fabrics.

I have had many recliners. The comfortable ones have had a footrest that let’s my foot sit on the footrest. When your foot hangs off it puts your foot to sleep because it cuts off blood flow. All my friends agree.
Hi Diane,
Thank you for your feedback.
The recommended footrest length is to allow the foot the ability to rotate and avoid cramping.
It’s entierly up to you what suits your individual needs.
Thanks

I wholeheartedly agree! I’ve had no luck finding one that lets my heel sit on the footrest. They are all a good two inches too short..doesn’t help my dicky ankles at all.
Is there someplace in New Jersey that you have recliners available to see in person?
Sorry…manufacture and supply to Australia only at this time.
