The cushion and foot rest adds comfort to passenger's “bottoms” as well as rests their feet for long flights. The cushion and foot rest folds easily for easy carry-on and stays in position by the weight of the passenger sitting on it. The cushion and foot rest can alleviate aches, pain and leg and foot cramping.
