Snailax Heated Foot Rest Under Desk at Work, Desk Foot Stool with Heat & Vibration Massage, Adjustable Height, 2 Heat Levels Foot Warmer Feet Heater for Office Chair, Gaming Home Use

A truly “comfy” footrest that is just right
The best way to describe this footrest is “comfy.” The foam is somehow both firm enough to feel substantial, yet soft enough to feel inviting and gentle. My feet sink into the foam just slightly, enough to soak up the heat and feel the gentle vibrations.I understand that this sort of massager is designed for under one’s desk at work. Since I wear lace-up shoes, it isn’t practical for me to take them off multiple times throughout the day. I’m always getting up from my desk and walking around. So I have been using this footrest at the recliner at day’s end. I have another more serious foot massager (also a Snailax) and I love using that for more intense and focused massaging when my feet are really worn out. This footrest is gentler. It has a lovely amount of heat that doesn’t roast my toes, instead warming them slowly and thoroughly. And the massage function really helps the heat relax my feet. It slowly and rather gently warms away fatigue and pain.I was initially surprised at the design, as the optional riser that lifts the footrest up higher (should you wish it to be higher) is also made of foam. But in usage it works just as designed and maintains its lightweight form factor while also having enough grip to keep from moving around on the luxury vinyl tile in my sitting room.Though I don’t always feel the need for a more aggressive massage (like I get from my foot massager), when I return home I look forward to kicking off my shoes and resting my feet on this very comfy footrest that welcomes me back and tells me to rest a bit.

Handy office foot stool with heat and vibration
Great quality foot rest for the home office. Fits neatly underneath the desk. Vibration with low heat makes for a comfortable working environment. Easily tap the controls with my toe to change heat and vibration. Ordered this lightweight foot rest with 2 day delivery. A must have for the ‘at home’ office workers. Quite warming and comfortable sensations on cool days in the office. I use it daily. Convenient velcro keeps the 2 halves together and the non-slip bottom works perfectly on luxury vinyl flooring.

Seems very reliable with some modern conveniences
9/30/25 Edit: Experiencing heating issues where it doesn’t heat up consistently. Submitted technical support ticket to Snailax itself. Seems like might be fire hazard if continuing to try & use the inconsistent heat option. Massager still works like a charm. Even without those 2 features, the footrest itself gives you that “tingly cool feeling running down your spine” & I love it.Prior to 9/30/25 review:This was after having used for several hours working from home:Heats up pretty quick, has a high & low temp settings that run 1 hr at a time.The massager is interesting, has 3 different massager settings. Varying in intensity / pattern. Each set to a 15 min cycle. I found 3 to be the best, as its the most constant pattern wise. (Think like long/skate boarding vibration)Not very noisy by itself tho I do live in apt. So may selectively use it pending on time of day.Super light weight (1.4 lb), feels like its weightless tbh. the fabric is very soft, non slip & washable via wet wipe.In general its ergonomic, almost an instant relief just resting your feet on it. height is somewhat adjustable.(1-2 inch detachable Velcro base).Will do some more testing tho this just initially in first like 15 min of use.All in all, for $47 it’s not bad. Something that seems very reliable with some modern conveniences in terms of functional services, maintenance (cleaning) & instant relief / supports proper posture.(used a gift card from work to buy & honestly don’t regret it. Will update review after more long term use)

It works absolutely wonderfully. It’s the perfect choice for warming your feet under your desk in the winter. It’s lightweight and very easy to use. While it may feel tingly while massaging, it’s also very relaxing.

Well what can I say. I’ve struggled for years whilst working from home to get comfortable with my legs and feet. Suffering aching legs and feet every night. My DSE recommended a soft foot rest. After having cold feet over the winter I was looking for a heated one. I was excited when I also found this that had a vibration massage too. I was going to buy something separate but thought I’d try this all in one.I was pleasantly surprised on setting it up. It’s so comfortable and just soft enough to allow my feet to position exactly how they lie which is important. The heat function works a treat and as it has a soft overlay cover it doesn’t get too hot to touch, so looking forward to using that in the winter. I have tested the vibration function. It can be a little noisy but I expected that as it is vibration. It doesn’t actually bother me when working as I find it a little therapeutic and aids concentration. I normally listen to brown noise but this does whilst the vibration is on. I’ve had a good go with vibration on my feet whilst working. As my calf’s ache and twitch during the evening I’ve done a session with resting my calf’s on it and it’s made a massive difference as my legs haven’t ached as much tonight and the twitching not as bad. I’m hoping that with daily use this will improve more. But as it stands I’m extremely happy with the results already. If you work at a desk for long spells I definitely recommend this. If you suffer restless legs or symptoms similar this will seriously help ease them.

Purchased for my son who spends a fair bit of time at his gaming PC. He loves the vibration function. He suffers from Raynaud’s so the added heat setting is bliss. As a spectator, the rumble from the vibration is pretty loud and irritating for my tinnitus though so something to bear in mind. He likes the added ‘cushion’ on the bottom which can be detached for height adjustment and he likes the fact there are different vibration settings/sequences.
