Recliners, ottomans, footrests all exist because seemingly just sitting down isn’t good enough, we gotta lean back and kick our feet up. But why tho

I think it’s got something to do with blood flow. Takes the strain off your legs from standing on them all day

Same reason it’s more comfy to lay down instead of sit.. if the weight of your body is supported by more than just your feet and/or butt, the pressure in those areas is decreased, hence more comfy… Pressure= Force (weight) / area….. increase the area (i.e. lay down) and you’ll decrease the pressure
