Although its not our first preference, there are ways to improve your desk space without purchasing a new desk.
A new desk isn’t always possible, for either costing reasons or because you may have the same as others in your office space. Below we’ve listed a few items that could help your posture and working wellbeing.
The Anti-Fatigue Mat.
An anti-fatigue mat can help to enhance the wellbeing of your employees. Fatigue can reduce concentration and productivity. When using an anti-fatigue mat, you will keep moving, even when you don’t mean to. Standing still for a prolonged period is very unhealthy because our bodies are made to move.

Footrest
You could need something as simple as a footrest. I’m a short person and struggle to sit comfortably at work all day. This could be prevented by using a footrest. Being able to rock your feet backwards and forwards can stop you from sitting with your legs crossed, or even worse, sitting on your legs. Small movements is better than nothing and can help with circulation.

Leg rest
Have you had an accident and the idea of working at a desk is mentally draining? We have single or double leg rests available to purchase. It could be an ongoing injury, or something that will heal. The leg rests below are ideal for both.

Back Pain
We would always recommend a ergonomic chair for back pain, however, we also know how costly these can be and how the cost of living crisis may effect you purchasing a new one. That’s why we also offer the lumbar support as an option. The lumbar support should be placed in the curve of your back to support your spine. The below lumbar support can be fitted to any chair.

Back pain could also be due to where the monitor is located on your desk. The centre of the monitor should be at your eye level. This means your not looking down whilst typing constantly. If you feel that the monitor is in the incorrect position a desk riser may help. We currently sell the amazing L-E-Vate pro in two sizes. This can turn a regular desk into a standing desk with one small movement. This is an amazing addition to any desk space. Going from sitting to standing can really improve productivity in the workplace.
