Height Adjustable Office Desks

Sit-Stand Desks For A Healthier Workforce

The world today sees more and more people working in offices and positioned at desks. During the working week, most office workers will spend, on average, 6 to 8 hours sitting at their desk. This can result in back pain and even in injuries without maintaining proper posture. Take a look at our in depth article on the causes of back pain within the office.

Sit-stand desks are a great solution to this and allow your team to work while standing up whenever they feel like they’ve been sitting down for too long. Sit-stand desks are especially valuable in small offices where space is limited, thanks to their adjustability. They easily adapt to various tasks, whether it’s collating documents while standing, mounting AV equipment, using a laptop, reading notes during presentations, or simply keeping coffee cups within reach. Sit-stand desks handle all these needs with ease, making them an ideal choice for compact workspaces.

Benefits of Sit-stand Adjustable Office Desks

Here are some of the main benefits to having an adjustable sit-stand desk:

• Improved posture: Being able to adjust the height of your desk can help you maintain spinal alignment and avoid hunching over which can lead to risk of neck and back strain.
• Work while standing: Changing your desk to a standing position can be great for your back as being seated for extended periods can be uncomfortable. 
• Ideal for shared work spaces: Many offices have alternate days for staff to come in and use the same desks. Being able to easily adjust the height of these desks increases comfort for each person so they can set it up how they want it.
• Maintain productivity: Being able to switch to a standing position can help you remain engaged with your work as sitting for a long time can cause you to lose focus and start fidgeting.
• Reduced chance of health problems: Sitting in a constant position is not good for the spine. Switching between sitting and standing can reduce the risks that can occur from being seated for prolonged periods.
• Standing burns more calories: On average, people will burn 8 more calories every hour while standing compared to sitting down. For those trying to lose weight, this small amount can still make a difference.
• Improved mental health: Having the freedom to switch between standing and sitting whenever you like can help to reduce stress. Having to be seated for several hours can impact some people’s moods so being able to stand while working can have a positive impact on their wellbeing.
• Wheelchair accessibility: Sit-stand desks are accessible for people in wheelchairs and can be adjusted to a comfortable height.
