Support

Ergonomic support for optimal comfort during computer use

Ergonomic support during computer work is essential because 80% of office workers develop neck, shoulder, or back complaints due to poor posture. With daily computer use of 6-8 hours, proper support not only provides comfort but also prevents pain and increases work efficiency.

Optimizing monitor and screen height

The top of your screen should be at eye level to minimize neck strain. Keep a distance of 50-70 cm between your eyes and the monitor for optimal comfort. Place the screen perpendicular to the window to avoid annoying reflections. For laptop users, an external monitor is essential because the built-in screen is often too low.

Perfect sitting posture and desk chair

Place your feet flat on the floor with your knees at a 90-degree angle. A footrest can help create a raised foot and leg position for better posture. The lower back should be fully supported by the backrest of your chair, possibly supplemented with a back support for extra comfort. Armrests at elbow height help relax shoulders and neck. Stand up and move every 30 minutes to promote blood circulation.

Wrists and keyboard use

Keep your wrists straight while typing to prevent repetitive strain injuries. A wrist rest offers extra support and comfort during long typing sessions. Position the keyboard at elbow height for a natural arm posture. Place the mouse close to the keyboard to avoid unnecessary reaching. For mouse use, an arm support can reduce pressure on the wrist and shoulder.

Lighting and arranging the workspace

Ensure sufficient daylight without glare on your screen. A desk lamp provides extra light during dark times of the day. For a modern workspace, you can also choose smart lighting that automatically adjusts to the time of day. Place documents at eye level next to your screen to avoid constant looking up and down. A tidy workspace reduces stress and greatly increases concentration.
