For professionals, students, and anyone who spends long hours at a desk, the discomfort of poor posture and fatigued legs is a common challenge. roumo, a brand dedicated to healthy and creative desk environments, tackles this issue head-on with their latest innovation on Kickstarter: the Dual Rest LC99. This second-generation footrest is engineered to seamlessly integrate with your existing workspace, offering versatile support and promoting better posture for enhanced comfort and productivity.
Project Overview
Name and Creator: Versatile, High Performance 2nd Gen Footrest, Dual Rest by roumo
What It Is: An ergonomic, two-tiered footrest designed to provide versatile support for various sitting postures, improve circulation, alleviate leg fatigue, and promote proper spinal alignment, featuring extensive adjustability, a stable non-slip design, and eco-friendly materials.
Key Features
Ergonomic 2-Step Design (Footrest & Ottoman): The Dual Rest LC99 offers a unique two-level support system. The primary footrest platform provides comfortable support for your feet while working, while an elevated second-level allows you to rest your ankles for greater leg elevation and relief from fatigue during longer periods of sitting. This dual functionality effectively combines the benefits of a footrest and an ottoman.
Extensive Height and Angle Adjustment: Featuring 18 holes (9 on the front and 9 on the back of the frame), the Dual Rest LC99 provides precise control over height and angle. This allows users to customize the footrest to their specific body type, leg length, and preferred sitting posture, ensuring optimal ergonomic alignment. Adjustments can be made effortlessly by hand, requiring no tools, and the system is designed for durability and minimal noise.
Ample Width for Diverse Postures: Recognizing that everyone has different sitting habits, the Dual Rest LC99 features a wide platform. This generous width allows you to place your feet comfortably, whether you prefer to keep your legs together, spread them out, or shift positions frequently, promoting greater freedom of movement and comfort.
Stable, Non-slip Support: Engineered with non-slip support, the footrest provides stable weight distribution, preventing your feet from sliding or wobbling as you change positions. This ensures that your posture remains steady and undisturbed, enhancing comfort and focus.
Easy Position Adjustment with Legs: Thanks to its innovative frame design, the Dual Rest LC99 can be easily adjusted with your legs. It naturally integrates with your body movements, allowing for effortless control and repositioning throughout your workday.
Eco-Friendly and Durable Materials: The Dual Rest LC99 incorporates recycled materials, notably featuring CORDURA re/cor™ fabric for its cushion. This fabric utilizes 100% recycled nylon yarn from repurposed manufacturing waste, offering exceptional resistance to scratches and abrasions. This commitment to sustainable and durable materials extends the product's lifespan and reduces environmental impact.
Health and Wellness Benefits: By promoting proper posture, the Dual Rest LC99 helps to reduce strain on the neck, back, and hips. Elevating the feet improves blood circulation, which can alleviate leg pain, stiffness, and reduce the risk of swelling or discomfort from prolonged sitting. It encourages varied sitting postures, keeping the body engaged and reducing overall fatigue.

Inspiration: roumo's journey began with the personal discomfort experienced by their CEO, a graphic designer, who realized how a non-ergonomic desk environment hindered creativity and productivity. Their philosophy centers on creating healthy and creative workspace solutions that are easy for anyone to use. The Dual Rest LC99 is the embodiment of this vision, born from extensive trial and error to address common issues like leg fatigue and poor posture.
