With the proliferation of work-from-home and study-from-home set-ups, quality, ergonomic office furniture is now more important than ever.

As office furniture supplier, Now Furniture & Accessories notes: “You may be accustomed to responding to emails at the kitchen table or spending the occasional weekend writing a report or responding to emails on your home dining room table and most of the time it may be a couple of hours. With Covid most companies have asked 80% of their workforce to stay home… and whether intentionally or not they are inevitably working longer hours at the same dining room table or kitchen counter. Unless you have the right setup, sooner or later you will wind up with back pain or other problems.”

With this in mind, the company offers the following tips and ergonomically designed products for spine health:

Keep your elbow angle between 70 and 120 degrees, and your wrists straight while working.
Choose a desk that’s the correct height – it should provide support for your forearms while working without you having to hunch your shoulders. Check out their wide variety of desks ideal for home set-ups here. We especially like the clean-lined 90’ Home Desk and Chemistry Bench System that can easily seat two students for homeschooling.

Opt for an ergonomically designed chair that offers back and arm support, and that can be adjusted to a comfortable height. See their selection of supportive chairs here. Our top choices include the 9 to 5 Chair and the Fern Chair which provides total back support, edgeless comfort, and free movement.
Create a home set-up that encourages movement. Do this by placing your printer, for instance, in another corner of the room.
