Other Ways to Be Comfortable at Work
Working for long periods at a computer keyboard may cause discomfort on the wrists and hands, especially if working at an awkward angle. While you can adjust your seat height to keep up your wrists in a straight line, you can also buy an ergonomic wireless keyboard designed for protracted use, putting your hands in more natural positions to reach the keys and mouse. You can also get an ergonomic keyboard if you have a laptop but find it difficult to use the cramped keys for extended periods.
Types of ergonomic keyboards include the:
- Split keyboard
- Contoured keyboard
- Handheld keyboard
- Angled split keyboard
Or if your feet don’t reach the floor properly with your desk chair, you can buy a footrest for under the desk, with different height and tilt adjustments to suit your particular body stature. Some might have “massage” bumps to promote circulation in the feet and a “rocking mechanism” to keep the feet active, promoting circulation during a long day of sitting.
When it comes to working at home or in the office, comfort counts. The right office chairs, ergonomic furniture, and ergonomic accessories can help you, or your employees, focus on the work at hand.
