5 Ways To Kick Off The Summer In Comfort

Today marks the official start of Summer! That being said, it's time to take action and start getting comfortable. Don't settle for workplace fatigue, muscle cramps, and poor blood flow in the second half of 2016. We've got you covered. Today on the OfficeAnything.com blog we're highlighting 5 ways to kick comfort into high gear. Enjoy!

1.) Smart Chair

Smart chairs are the latest ergonomic craze. The ability to achieve top notch comfort with minimal level pulling and adjusting is incredibly appealing to chair shoppers. To make a long story short, smart chairs minimize the ergonomic learning curve. If you're looking for ways to improve your posture without the headache, a smart chair is the way to go. 

Popular Smart Chairs:

• Global Total Office G20 Chair
• Mayline Living Chair
• RFM Preferred Seating Verte Chair
• Eurotech Seating iOO Chair

2.) Sit To Stand Workstation

As the song says, "you gotta get up to get down". Sit to stand workstations promote continuous movement in the workplace and improve blood flow. The ability to quickly switch from sitting to standing positions at the touch of a button will make you incredibly versatile. Sit to stand workstations are great for private office, training room, and classroom applications. Brands like Mayline, ESI Ergonomic Solutions, and Global Total Office offer best selling sit to stand workstations that should be considered by furniture shoppers looking to boost comfort this summer.

3.) Compute Correctly

It's as simple as this, compute correctly and enjoy a more efficient work day. Those who compute and type at incorrect angles commonly suffer from joint pain in the hands that greatly reduces productivity. Purchasing an articulating keyboard tray will set you on the path to typing success. A high quality keyboard tray will offer you the ability to increase usable desk space while improving your typing posture.

In addition, consider integrating a dual screen monitor arm into your space. Dual monitor mounts will improve the rate at which you compute. They'll also help you get your screens to eye level. If you're looking down at your monitors when typing, you're neck is paying the price! A dual screen monitor mount is the professional solution.

4.) Avoid Extended Sits

Sitting for long periods of time can actually shorten your life span. You've gotta stand up at least once every couple of hours to stretch out those fatiguing muscles. Take a few minutes to walk around. Allow your eyes to adjust from staring at the computer scree. Get a drink of water to stay hydrated. In the long run, short breaks are they key to a comfortable work day. Even when you get busy and the tasks mount up, force yourself to take short breaks. They're an absolute must if you want to stay energized at work and operating at peak performance levels! 

5.) Posture Reminders

Studies have shown that placing a list of helpful posture reminders within eye sight of your computer screen will improve comfort levels. Let's be honest, it's hard to remember a long list of ways to sit correctly during busy work days. In most cases, posture is the last thing on our minds! The being said, simple reminders will go a long way towards improving comfort. Keeping helpful tips fresh will ensure you remain comfortable for longer periods of time.
