Transform The Way You Work From Home With Standing Desks, Ergonomic Seating & More!

People who sit for hours on end every day have an increased risk of diabetes, heart disease and early death. Additionally, sitting all the time doesn't burn that many calories and studies have linked a sedentary lifestyle to weight gain and obesity. If you find yourself in this precarious situation, now is the time to do something about it.

Luckily for you, there are a lot of options that can help alleviate many of the negative effects of working from a desk. Standing desks, ergonomic chairs, and monitor stands are awesome ways of making sure that your posture and your health don't go down the drain, now that working from home seems to be the default for the majority of the workforce.

Standing desks and back pain

Around 31 million Americans experience back pain and, according to ACA today, "Worldwide, back pain is the single leading cause of disability, preventing many people from engaging in work as well as other everyday activities." This is suspected to be caused by the increasing number of office and desk-related work which puts people in sedentary positions for most of their day.

To prevent this, you need a standing desk. It's got a wide range of height adjustment options so you can switch from sitting to standing seamlessly. There's even an electric desk that's really exciting to use. It lets you adjust its height in just a simple button push. You'll find this standing desk's features very convenient and hassle-free.

Ergonomic chairs to match

And what's a good ergonomic work set up without a good ergo chair?

It's so comfortable with a seat that tilts forward for better back support. For those who have a bad back, it's also outfitted with essential lumbar adjustment. In addition, the backrest can recline up to 70 degrees a-la business class airplane seat. This added comfort-boosting feature set will allow you to take your breaks to a whole other level.

Got a sore neck?

How many times have you struggled to get a good night's sleep because your neck was sore? Well, you don't have to worry about that anymore because these monitor stands are a real lifesaver. These are one of, if not, the best pieces of equipment you can invest in if you work in front of a screen a lot. The advantage of having your monitors on an adjustable mount is that you can change their position far greater than if they aren't.

To increase your productivity, you may have more than one monitor in your home set up. This means that you don't have a single screen in the center of your set up so you're always looking a little bit off to one side. This can cause tension in the neck as it's putting uneven pressure on the neck's muscles. With an adjustable mount, this will no longer be a problem. Plus, you don't have to look down on your screens anymore since you can set them to any position you want. Gone are the days of sore necks and sleepless nights!

Ergonomic accessories

Of course, with an ergonomic setup, you have to consider everything. Having a standing desk means that everything moves around more. This may become a problem if you have a lot of wires. The easiest solution? Ergo accessories. Here are some of the most useful accessories that are considered essentials for a good ergonomic setup.

• Underdesk cable management trays
  You can say goodbye to a cluttered desk with these handy trays. Just route your power and monitor cables under your desk so they'll stay nice and organized. Just remember to have enough slack on those wires.
• Tabletop power & USB grommets
  If you're between the ages of 15 to 45, chances are that you've got your phone with you most of the time, even while you work. By using these convenient power grommets, you can now charge your mobile gadgets easily without having to buy extra-long cables.
• Edge mounted power clamps
  Since your whole desk moves quite a lot now, you also have to make a few adjustments to your power solutions. Power cables that ship with electronics aren't particularly long, and this presents a real problem when your desk moves. With this, you just clamp it on the side of your table and you've got yourself a convenient little power plug wherever you want.
• Power strips
  Now, if you're someone who uses a lot of peripherals such as an external mic or lights on your desk, then this accessory is perfect for you. You can easily attach it under your table to have easy-to-access power outlets that move with your setup.

There are numerous benefits to providing ergonomic desk setups for those working at home. This should make your work from home set-up a lot more comfortable, and that translates to a better mood throughout the day. And who wouldn't want a mood boost in these uncertain times?
