ABSTRACT:
A footstool extension comprising a leg support assembly attachable to a footstool. In the preferred embodiment the leg support assembly comprises a platform, of a size and shape to correspond to the footstool to which it is attached and made of wood, plastic or other such material, with a pad or cushion covered with a suitable fabric, leather, plastic, or other covering attached to the top surface of the platform, and with the platform slideably mounted on one or more rails or runners bendably attachable to the footstool. A folding prop or brace is bendably attached to the rails allowing the leg support assembly to be folded out of the way when not in use.
In other embodiments the pad or cushion is filled with a fluid or gel resulting in a more comfortable cushion that can be heated or cooled to provide some therapeutic value. An oscillator or vibrator can also be coupled to the gel filled cushion to gently massage the user's legs and/or feet.
