5 Ergonomic Home Office Essentials That You’ll Need In 2021

Posted by: Founterior , February 11, 2021

Ever since the quarantine has started, a lot of people have been investing in home offices to bring more comfort when they are working. If you have checked a lot of recommendations online, you will see that most people suggest investing in ergonomic essentials. If you are not sure what that means, ergonomic is designed to bring more comfort and efficiency when you are working. Hence, the rise of ergonomic keyboards, computer mouse, chairs, and more! There are a lot of studies proving that investing in ergonomics for your workspace reduces stress and can boost your productivity. If you are thinking of converting your home office, then you are in the right article! We are going to list down all the things that you can check out. Without further ado, let’s get started.

A Sturdy Office Table

Let’s start with the place where most of your work will take place: your office table. Your home working desk setup must be spacious enough to cater to your other work supplies. A standard desk may be as functional but take into account that there are different types of tables to choose from. The L-share desk by Mr. IRONSTONE is a must-have space saver. You get to have access to shelf space that is within your reach. Another L-shape desk that we recommend is the Sauder Costa table, with the chestnut finish. Aesthetically, the carvings and finish of this desk make a cozy office interior. If you like working in the living room, you can check out the Mainstays Lift-Top coffee table. Like what the name suggests, you can lift the Sonoma oak table, which doubles as a laptop table, giving you the perfect height, so you don’t hurt your back bending forward. There are also standing desks if you are more productive when not sitting down. You can also check this list of office tables from Storables.com for more choices!

A Comfortable Chair

Next on our list is something to pair with your office table. Have you been experiencing some backaches, hip pains, and tight shoulders when sitting down for long hours? Such pain can affect the quality of your work! And all of these can be traced from a poorly constructed chair. Other people might suggest right away to invest in gaming chairs. However, several office chairs can give you the same comfort, minus the hefty price of a gaming chair. You can check out the Office Factor Executive Ergonomic Chair, which has added lumbar support. This heavy-duty mesh chair is also adjustable, comes with flip-up arms, and comes in different colors. For a more sleek design, check out the Bowery Fully Adjustable Management Office chair, which comes in green and black. It is a poly-cotton foam seat with a 5-position sliding seat adjustment.

A Smooth Keyboard

If you are wondering if those keyboards with a curved uni-body or a two-split one are worth it, then yes, it is. Admittedly, ergonomic keyboards are more expensive compared to conventional ones. They also require some learning time, given that they come in unique builds and designs. But ergonomic keyboards are designed more than for aesthetics, they help in mitigating health issues that come with typing keyboards for long hours. If you have been experiencing hand, wrist, and shoulder pains, then consider investing in one. The damages done by typing all day are inevitable. A good basic wireless keyboard is the Logitech 350. It is budget-friendly and has a low learning curve. If you use a Mac for work, you can check out the 2-piece Kinesis Freestyle2 Blue. It is also a wireless keyboard that comes with Apple-specific keyboard commands. The battery life of this keyboard is commendable and features a negative slope design.

A Reliable Mouse

Similar to the function of ergonomic keyboards, a well-constructed mouse can give you comfort. But unlike keyboards, finding the right mouse can be tricky. First, you have to consider what type of job you are going to use it for. For example, an ergonomic mouse can be used for precise cursor like designing but not can be hard to use when playing games. Now, we are not suggesting to get a different mouse for each activity you do, but find the one that brings you the most comfort. A vertical mouse gives you a better grip without twisting your arm. Trackballs mice let you operate without moving the mouse around to use the cursor. Another least conventional design is the pen mice.

Good lighting

Aside from your workstation, good lighting can also help you work efficiently. A poorly lit workplace can cause eye strain, fatigue, stress, and headaches. More than the fixture itself, you have to be wary of the proper placement. Soft yellow light is easier on the eyes. But don’t go for lighting that is too bright, which can cause eye strains. When looking for the right desk lamp, try to look for one that has multiple pivots for extra adjustability. When going for overhead lighting, make sure that you can adjust the level of brightness depending on the time of the day.

We recommend the LED LITOM 2019 desk lamp, which has 9 customizable illuminations. It features three color modes and 3 levels of brightness. This model also has the eye-protection 42 LED source, which protects your eyes from fatigue. Another desk lamp you can check out is the Eye-Care Swing Arm Desk. It has the adjustable color temperature feature, with flicker-free and glare-free illumination.

Start building your ergonomics home office today!

There you have it! Now that most people are opting to work from home, getting the right supplies can be overwhelming since there are hundreds of choices in the market. While upgrading your home office can mean shelling out a few hundred dollars, the result is worth it. More than boosting your productivity and efficiency, switching to ergonomic supplies has a long-term impact on your health. More than that, quality supplies will last you a long time.
