I am 5’5”. In coach on the long distance routes, I suspect that it will be an uncomfortable positioning of my feet due to the leg space that is available…even with the 2 supports that are built in. Has anyone here tried the hammock or inflatable types of leg rests? I would think that the inflatable would be more comfortable but yet too lightweight to stay in place while you sleep. Would the hammock/sling type work? Or, do you think the built in leg/footrests are adequate? Photos included.
Thanks.

I don't think either of the devices you show would improve comfort.

One thing I am taking if I need to travel in coach overnight is a pad for the footrest, made of pipe insulation. I asked about this on Facebook, and someone said you need to line the inside of the insulation with duct tape so the insulation doesn't split. I cut the piece to 15" length.
