Introducing Hopper: The Spring-Activated, Ergonomic Footrest for Healthy Sitting

Live on Kickstarter, Hopper is the footrest that promotes active and healthy sitting.

Santa Monica, California – August 27, 2024 /MarketersMEDIA/ —

Hopper, the revolutionary new under-desk footrest promoting better posture and reduced stress, is live on global platform Kickstarter and a breakout crowdfunding success story having already surpassed their initial raise goal in under a week.

Research has long linked sitting with poor health outcomes including heart disease, obesity, diabetes and more. Hopper is an innovative new footrest designed specifically for those who spend long hours at a desk. Its unique design features a user-controlled pressure rocking mechanism that allows individuals to subtly move their feet, promoting better circulation while reducing restlessness.

“The inspiration for Hopper came from my personal experience of wanting to move while sitting for long periods of time. I noticed that many people, like me, benefit from subtle movements that keep them comfortable and focused, whether they’re fidgeting, stretching, or simply adjusting their posture,” says founder and CEO Wes Furuta. “Hopper was created to support those natural movements and to make sitting a healthier, more active experience.”

Hopper works by elevating feet to a comfortable position, promoting better posture and spine alignment. Torsion springs and a pivot hinge allow users to fidget with a calming rocking motion. The sleekly designed footrest is available in two luxurious shades of high-quality, FSC certified wood— birch and walnut.

Key health features of the Hopper include:

• Promotes leg and foot movement to combat negative effects of prolonged sitting.
• Aids in improving blood circulation and reducing muscle tension.
• Provides relief for various ailments such as arthritis and back pain.
• Acts as a therapeutic coping mechanism to reduce stress and fatigue
• Enables users to engage in leg and foot exercises for weight management and muscle strengthening.
• Offers low-impact motion for calorie burning and muscle toning.

“After years of searching for a footrest that wasn’t just a cheaply made plastic product, I realized there was nothing available that combined high-end design with the ability to promote natural, comfortable motion. Most footrests either lacked durability or didn’t encourage the kind of subtle, effective movement I was looking for. Hopper offers a premium product that not only looks great but also feels good to use,” adds Furuta.

Hopper is currently live and available to support on Kickstarter: www.kickstarter.com/projects/hopperfootrest/hopper-the-footrest-for-the-fidgety
