Afternoon tea. Double decker buses. Fish and chips. These are things I miss about England.
Cold feet isn’t one of them. As a child in England, I craved warmth in our allegedly centrally heated home. I say allegedly because no part of the house was warm and snug. I layered on the sweaters, but my feet were left in the cold.
Fast forward to today and I still have cold feet. Part of it is genetic, part not wearing shoes in the house. Whatever the reason my feet are cold most of the time…and my home is, in fact, centrally heated.
During family movie nights, everyone fussed so much about needing a blanket that I finally bought a blanket rack to hold a blanket for each of us. But our tootsies are still cold. I have given birth to children with cold feet, too. I’m always on the lookout for a cold feet cure.
I was asked to review a product that I was sure would be a hit with my husband and I, except that my girls nabbed the the tabletop pillows first. Clever kids! I was sent a His and Her set of Kickrests. Kickrest is a combination pillow and foot rest. The Kickrest base is firm enough that you can rest your feet on a coffee table and not get “numb foot” syndrome. Or you can place the Kickrest on the floor in front of your office chair to keep your toesies warm and snug. The memory foam pillow acts as a cradle for your feet and legs.
The kind folks at Kickrest sent me a pair of Kickrests - Think Pink for me and Tan Line for my husband. My older teen laid claim to the Tan Line while my younger teen took the Think Pink. I was pleased to see that both used the Kickrests many times over the weekend. The older teen used the Kickrest to cover her feet as she lay on the couch. The younger teen sprawled full length on the recliner with her feet tucked in the Kickrest. One used the Kickrest while snoozing in bed.
Kickrests are usually $29.95, but there is a Back-to-School Sale where you can buy one for $19.95 to keep warm this winter. According to Kickrest, no other product out there offers the parent-pending features of the Kickrest. For instance, the foot pillow has a detachable fleece hood. The base of the foot pillow not only grips the tabletop, but protects surfaces from wear and tear. Great for relieving pregnancy foot pain and swelling of ankles and feet, too.
Kickrests come in a variety of vibrant colors with ever-so-cute names:
- Tan Line
- Maroon Six
- True Blue
- Think Pink
- Putting Green
- Olive Me

My hands and feet are always cold.
b/c my daughter and I always have cold feet
My feet are always freezing and a normal blanket never seems to do the trick in warming them up.
My feet are usually the only thing cold!
I am on my feet all day, this would be wonderful!
I would love one of these to rest my sore feet at the end of the day.
My feet are always cold! And I’m not a shoes and socks kind of girl.

For my cold feet as I sit at my desk working on my computer.
Because my feet are always cold!!!
I always have cold feet.
This would be perfect for my mother who has arthritis in her feet and we live in a colder climate.
I need this like you wouldn’t believe! My feet are cold year round and I have a really hard time warming them up. In the winter, I’ll wear house shoes around until bed time, but I can’t keep them on if we’re sitting down to watch a movie together or something similar. This is the perfect solution!
My feet are always so cold in the winter months.
We keep the heat on the cool side through the winter, to save heating costs. These would be very warm & cozy!
It is getting chilly already! I could slip my paws into Kickrests right now!
For the occasional swelling I get in my feet and to keep them warm when I am at the computer or watching TV, there is no insulation under the lino covered floors and it gets cold on the tootsies
I need them to keep my feet toasty in this drafty house
to keep my toes warm
My feet are always cold
We don’t really turn the heater up, so our place gets a little cold during the winter. So we usually wear more clothes and blankets. This kickrest would be another great way to keep warm.

I would need it for my Mother, she is always complaining about her feet being cold.
I would love to win one because my feet are always cold and I always sit with my feet resting on something.

I’d love it for the winter months in Connecticut to keep my feet nice and warm.
I would like this because when my feet are warm, it warms up the rest of me.
Because we moved to Alberta and it’s freezing here!

Well, and because I spend my evenings with my laptop in my lap and my feet up on the coffee table, so I’m all too familiar with the numb feet syndrome!
I stay cold and this would be really helpful
I’d need this too keep my feet warm while watching movies with my girls on Friday nights!
I work at an office that’s freezing cold!
Like you, my feet are always cold. I think that I would really benefit from the Kickrest Table Top Pillow as I can not stand to put my feet on a hard surface, such as my ottoman, because of the pain. I would love the memory foam pillow to cushion my feet and keep them warm also. I think this product is a terrific idea.
its getting colder and keeping my feet warm is necessary.

I’m always in socks and slippers and my feet are still cold, plus they tend to swell a bit at the end of the day. This looks like it would help a lot and be a great way to relax.

My feet are always cold
These would make my feet toasty warm!
Because they feel like ice cubes the majority of the time.
Oh, I need this so bad! My feet are always freezing because I am anemic! I would love to have this for sitting in my computer chair!
A very interesting product, I have to see. Looks like it might work for the chilly winter months ahead.
