Health Benefits of a standing desk

Prioritise your wellbeing

There are multiple benefits of standing desks. Ergo Desks has plenty of options to choose from that can not only improve your working environment but also have a tremendous impact on your health!

Whether working from home or working on your passions, your desk space should be dynamic and flexible, just like you. That’s why Ergo Desks offers electric and manual standing desks to fit any situation throughout the day. A standing desk creates a dynamically changing environment which supports your wellbeing and productivity.

Working on a standing desk allows for increased movement throughout the day, reducing the risks of health concerns from sitting in one place for too long. Prolonged sitting has been linked to a series of health issues such as obesity, muscle disorders, diabetes, and heart disease. Opting for a standing desk can increase your metabolism, energy and focus, as well as helping to drive weight loss and increase levels of productivity.

Use the Correct Sit-Stand Desk Frame Height

It can be difficult to pinpoint a standard desk height. Although the average desk height is 73cm, this is not an optimum or correct height for everyone. Many people are unaware that an ergonomically correct height exists for desks and office chairs.

A poor desk set up can result in short term discomfort and even lead to chronic back pain. Therefore consider some information before choosing a desk height:

(Your height in inches) + 1 = Your perfect desk height in cm.

Standard desk height considerations are also important for standing desks, as you want your standing desk to be set to your elbow height. During use the forearm and upper arm should be perpendicular with the elbow bent at a 90-degree angle.

Productivity benefits of a standing desk

Staying focused on your work throughout the day isn’t always easy. Any help we can get to boost productivity is invaluable. A standing desk helps keep you engaged by letting you stand up with your back straight, helping you fight the urge to slouch into relaxation mode.

FAQs About Standing Desks

1. How often should I switch between sitting and standing at a standing desk?

There’s no magic number. Some days you’ll stand more, some days you won’t. Most people end up switching every 30 to 45 minutes just because their body tells them to. A sit-stand desk makes it easy to change things up without stopping your work.

2. Are standing desks actually better for your health than regular desks?

For most people, yes. Sitting all day messes with your back, your energy, and even your mood. Standing desks don’t fix everything, but they stop you from being stuck in one position for many hours straight.

3. What height should my standing desk be set to?

If your shoulders are creeping up or your wrists are bent, it’s wrong. The desk should sit around elbow height when you’re standing. When you sit, your arms should rest naturally on the desk, no shrugging, no hunching.

4. What’s the difference between a standing desk and a sit-stand desk?

A standing desk is just that, it’s for standing. A sit-stand desk lets you sit when you’re tired and stand when you need a boost. That’s what actually makes it usable day after day.

5. Are electric standing desks worth it compared to manual ones?

If you change height a lot, electric is just easier. Press a button, and you’re done. Manual desks are cheaper, but you’ll feel it in your arms after a few weeks of cranking them up and down.

6. Will a standing desk really help with back pain?

It can help, mostly because you stop sitting like a prawn all day. Moving more, standing more, and setting the desk to the right height make a big difference for a lot of people.
