Choosing a height-adjustable desk

After a long workday spent sitting at a computer, many people feel tired and tense in their neck, back, and lower back.

Regularly sitting for more than 6 hours a day increases the risk of developing musculoskeletal disorders by 50%. Such problems can lead to chronic back and joint pain, as well as pathologies related to the cardiovascular system, diabetes, and reproductive health.

Therefore, it is very important to properly arrange your workplace. Ergonomic furniture, in particular height-adjustable desks, helps to avoid these problems and contributes to maintaining health.

Why use a height-adjustable desk?
A height-adjustable desk allows you to work in different positions: sitting or standing. Studies show that working in a standing position reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease by 54%, and also reduces the likelihood of developing type 2 diabetes by 47%. Constant sitting can disrupt blood circulation and reduce the efficiency of internal organs. For example, in women who sit for more than 6 hours a day, the risk of impaired reproductive function increases by 30%, and in men it can lead to problems with potency.

Sitting for long periods of time also affects kidney function, as evidenced by studies showing an increased risk of kidney disease in those who sit for more than 8 hours a day. Additionally, sitting continuously increases pressure on the spine, which can cause neck and back pain, and reduce productivity by 20-25%.

Benefits of using an ergonomic desk:

• Ability to change height to suit specific needs to prevent health problems;
• Increased comfort and work efficiency, which contributes to a 15% increase in productivity;
• Reduction of the load on the spine, joints and muscles by up to 40% compared to traditional furniture;
• Speed ​​and convenience of changing height and incline settings, which helps avoid circulatory stagnation;

Some models have a position change reminder option, which promotes a more active workflow.
Thanks to its adaptability, the ergonomic desk can be used by multiple workers, making it ideal for shared offices. The furniture is easily and quickly adjusted to the specifics and needs of each user.
