Footrest for jack knife sofa ideas?

Not prettiest solution but functional, I keep one of the folding step stools in MH for reaching stuff/climbing into over cab bunk/etc and have found putting a pillow or folded blanket on top makes it into a pretty comfortable foot rest. When not in use, it folds up and store in over cab area or behind drivers seat.

I use my camp stool as a footrest. It is about 16-18" square and the right height.

There are RV sofas with built-in foot rests, and they also recline in stages. Winnebago calls theirs Rest Easy, they are not the only company to make one. Since they are installed only in higher-end models, with sofa slideouts, you may not have room.

We use a small 'hassock', perfect height, two can use, and cushoined removeable top, it has storage inside, also use it between front seats when traveling to block the dogs out of the area.

We have 2 of these. The tops come off giving access to a lot of storage space inside. We keep spare bedsheets/blankets in them. The inside dimensions are perfect for storing the cushioned pillows you buy to block the air vents during the winter.

x 2 with Bobbo...they work great. Target has them.

Ok all and thank you for the replies. We will try a hassock. If it doesn't work out for us, we can bring it into the house for one more place for a cat to hide.

QVC has collapsible ottomans that are smaller and lighter, can store stuff in them when assembled. Top is leatherette and padded for footrest.

Bordercollie...............thank you! That's it!

Hi BuckHarker, the DW found a fold up foot, leg rest that is adjustable in the slant part, works great. Folds up to about 3" high so easy to stow, almost like a recliner, you can have you feet in front of you resting to the thing and if you want to bring your legs up higher you just open it up and it goes almost flat like a recliner. Don't remember where she got it or the name of the company that made it.So there is something out there. Good luck in finding something that will work for you. Come to think of it, knowing the DW she probably found it a place like Big Lots, etc.

Bordercollie.... I thank you also. Just ordered from QVC. I don't know why these Jayco couches are so shallow but they are and they require a foot rest!
