Tips to improve your workplace comfort

If you spend more than an hour or two a day sitting you won’t regret time spent getting your workplace just right. If you suffer from back pain you have even more to gain.

Screen

Is your screen is at a comfortable height too, with the top about eye level, and not tempting you to crane your neck down towards it? Just raising it on phone books often makes quite a difference.

If you use a laptop you may find it more comfortable to prop it up at the back with small books or a piece of wood, so the screen is higher. Aim to have your forearms about parallel with the keyboard when your hands rest on it. They don’t have to be horizontal as long as your wrists are relaxed and not bent. A high desk may even be an advantage as the screen will be higher.

Angling the book towards you for easier reading

Do you read from books or papers? Propping these up at an angle makes them easier to read without craning your neck. A folding plastic lectern is ideal. If you read a book on your lap, raising it on a cushion or two will help.

Wax your stool!

To keep your Wave Stool swiveling and sliding easily so you don’t have to twist. Have an ordinary white candle handy. Rub it on the base of the rockers every week or two (you can wipe any excess off with tissue to protect your carpet).
