Realised that you\u2019re less productive at home than at the office? Are you looking to perform better in the coming year?<\/p>\n

If you think that this is a problem caused by your home office set-up, you might be\u00a0100% right.
\nA proper ergonomic set-up at home will increase your productivity and well-being, while taking care of your long-term health.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1: Get an Ergonomic Chair\u00a0<\/strong><\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You sit eight hours a day, so the most important part of your home office is that chair.<\/p>\n

But if you\u2019re looking for an upgrade, the ergonomic chair market can be confusing \u2013 which of these chairs suits your needs, fits your body and doesn\u2019t strain your wallet?<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what to look for in a good ergonomic chair:<\/p>\n

Dedicated Lumbar<\/strong>\u00a0Support<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Does your back feel stiff when you stand up? A good lumbar support system moves with your body, so your back will always be supported as you work.<\/p>\n

Adjustable Headrest<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This adjustability protects your spinal columns even when you\u2019re in recline and keeps your head and neck correctly aligned, whether you’re seated up straight or leaning back to chill out.<\/p>\n

Cooling Mesh Upholstery<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you have to peel yourself out of that old leather office chair at the end of the day \u2013 opt for a breathable mesh upholstery instead!<\/p>\n

As a bonus, mesh tends to be low maintenance, more durable and collect much less sweat than leather.<\/p>\n

Adjustable Armrests<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Why do we emphasise adjustability? Ensuring that your arms are supported at 90\u00b0 allows you to work without straining your neck and shoulders.<\/p>\n

But your arms won\u2019t be the same length as the next person, so your armrests should adjust to fit you, right?<\/p>\n

Want to stay active while boosting your focus at work? Look no further than a standing desk!<\/p>\n

By standing and sitting at regular intervals, you keep your body active, avoiding stiff joints and stimulating your mind for greater productivity.<\/p>\n
