Ergonomics in the workplace – helpful tips for sitting
Especially in the home office, we tend to work in a poor posture and in unsuitable places, such as from the sofa. That's why we have put together 8 important tips for working while sitting for you:
Sitting
1. Shoulders
Make sure that your shoulders are relaxed and slightly to the rear. To avoid unnecessary tension in the neck.
2. Back
Sit as far back as possible in your office chair so that your pelvis and back are fully supported by the backrest.
3. Feet
Put your feet flat on the floor. So, you create a stable and relaxed sitting position.
4. Lower legs
Make sure your lower legs are as perpendicular to your feet as possible, forming an angle of about 90°.
5. Thighs
Your thighs do not necessarily have to form a 90° angle to your knees. Ideally, they slope slightly downwards from the hip.
6. Back of the knee
Make sure the backs of your knees do not rest directly against the front edge of the chair. Leave some space between the back of the knee and the edge of the seat.
7. Desk height
Set the desk height so that your forearms form an angle of about 90° to your upper arms.
8. Monitor height
To avoid an unfavourable neck posture, the top edge of the screen should be roughly at eye level.
Our Office chair LENDA is adjustable down to the smallest detail and can therefore be adapted entirely to your body and the ergonomic conditions . The seat cushion can be slid forwards and backwards to allow the gap mentioned in point 6 between the back of the knee and the chair.
Standing
Working ergonomically while standing
We recommend alternating regularly between working sitting and standing. This promotes your blood circulation and keeps your body moving. Our electric height-adjustable desks make this possible.
To get the best ergonomics out of working while standing, we have also listed the most important tips for you here:
Shoulders should be relaxed – don't tense them.
The forearms should rest on the desk at a 90° angle or even slope slightly downwards.
Stand with your legs apart and your feet firmly on the floor to distribute your weight evenly. For a soft, comfortable surface, you can also find a suitable mat in our range.
Here too, the top edge of the screen should not be higher than your eyes.
Don't lean against the edge of the desk with your stomach. Keep some distance from the standing desk to avoid an unhealthy posture and back pain.
