Portable Leg Rest Device

Abstract

A portable leg rest device is disclosed for elevating the legs while sitting or lying down. The portable leg rest device comprises a body component that is configured as a frame with height-adjustable legs in a scissor-lift configuration that allow a user to change the height of the pillow attachment secured to the top pad. The pillow attachment can be stored inside the device until applied to the top pad. The top end of the device terminates in a rectangular pad to support the legs. During use, the device keeps the legs of a user above their heart while napping or relaxing to improve blood flow.
