Ergonomic Support for Long Weaving Sessions
Long hours at the loom demand comfort, stability, and proper posture. The Louet Megado Loom Foot Rest gives your non-treadling foot a supportive platform so you can weave longer with less fatigue and better focus. Designed to integrate cleanly with the Megado’s geometry, it looks and feels like part of the loom.

FAQs
Does this work on other Louet looms?
No. This foot rest is engineered specifically for the Megado.
Does it replace the Treadle Height Adjusting Kit?
No. The foot rest supports the resting foot. The Treadle Height Adjusting Kit raises the treadle position for weavers who need additional reach. Many weavers use both for ideal ergonomics.
Do I need an adjustable bench?
It’s recommended. An adjustable bench plus this foot rest makes it easier to maintain neutral hips, knees, and ankles for a relaxed beat and longer weaving comfort.
Is installation difficult?
Installation is straightforward with standard hand tools. Once mounted, the height is easy to fine-tune.
Why We Recommend It
The Louet Megado Loom Foot Rest is a small upgrade with big impact: better posture, less strain, and steadier weaving over long sessions. Add it to your Megado setup and enjoy comfort that keeps pace with your creativity.
