Working at your desk can put strain on both body and mind. To maximize comfort while sitting for long hours at your desk, it's essential that the right chair and workstation setup are in place. Achieving maximum relaxation may not always be achievable; but with some creative modifications and the proper accessories it may become possible.
Your desk chair's primary adjustment should be its height. To be effective, your chair should allow you to comfortably reach the keyboard without straining your legs, back, or neck. For optimal results, look for chairs with adjustable seat height controls that enable you to change it as per your comfort needs.
Adjust the armrests on your desk chair for optimal comfort by setting them at an ergonomic height that supports your elbows comfortably, with padding to avoid pressure on arms. They should also provide enough support without pushing you forward.
Many office chairs do not provide sufficient lumbar support, which can result in lower back and hip pain. An easy solution to this issue is adding a lumbar pillow; it will keep your spine in a healthy position while sitting at your desk. To increase comfort further, add a footrest so your feet stay elevated during seated sessions.
