Complete Ergonomic
Home Office Setup

Most people get ergonomics wrong by treating it as a product problem. It's a positioning problem first. Get the fundamentals right, then upgrade your gear.

The golden rule: No amount of expensive gear fixes bad positioning. Start with the free checklist below. Then invest in gear that holds those positions effortlessly.

Ergonomic Checklist — Free Fixes First

Ergonomic Gear — Priority Order

Electric Standing Desk

Alternating sitting and standing is the single biggest ergonomic change you can make. Aim for a 1:1 ratio.

Ergonomic Chair with Lumbar Support

A proper lumbar-support chair maintains your spine's natural curve. Look for adjustable armrests and seat depth.

Monitor Arm (single or dual)

Positions your monitor at exact eye level. Eliminates neck strain from fixed-height stands.

Ergonomic Keyboard (tenkeyless)

Lets your keyboard sit at true elbow height, independent of your screen. TKL reduces mouse reach.

Vertical or Ergonomic Mouse

Keeps your wrist in a neutral handshake position. Reduces RSI risk for high-click-count jobs.

Anti-Fatigue Mat

Essential if you stand for any meaningful time. Reduces leg and back fatigue significantly.

Monitor Light Bar

Illuminates your desk without glare on screen. Reduces eye strain in low-light conditions.

Footrest

For shorter people or non-height-adjustable desks. Keeps feet flat and knees at 90°.
