Standing Desk or Ergonomic Chair: Which is Best for Your Home Office?

22 April 2022

The working from home boom has now become normal, in all our lives post pandemic. But would it surprise you to learn that most people still don’t have their home office set up properly? Working from home is very different from working in the office, and it gives you an opportunity to see how you work best and most efficiently. Not only that, but it also gives you the opportunity to better your physical shape, all while performing to your best in your job.

The Perks Of Home Working

Remote working enhances your sense of autonomy and freedom. Even though you may still have a boss, colleagues and a schedule, you have a say in where you sit, how often you break, what music you listen to and what lunch you eat.

Some other perks of working from home include:

  • No commute. Forget the long tube rides or waiting for a bus in the rain. You can roll out of your cozy bed, put on your clothes and get straight to work.
  • Fewer travel costs. You use less petrol when working from home, and may also save on train fares, taxi fares and parking fees.
  • Your own office design. Say goodbye to white walls and a dreary desk. You now have the power to design your own home office, which we will explore now…

There are two major products that shot to the forefront of home working equipment, and for very good reasons. Both are scientifically proven to increase fitness, focus and reduce stress and body aches. They are of course Standing Desks and Ergonomic Chairs. But which of these suit you the best? That’s what we’re here to find out.

Standing Desk

The Standing Desk is a bit of a departure from what you might be used to, and it is pretty self explanatory as to what it does. It’s a desk that allows you to stand and work. Here at Flexispot, our Standing Desks are height adjustable, so you can both sit and stand depending on what mood hits you at the time.

Standing Desks are more than just a cool new trend, they have health benefits that everybody should know about. Simply by standing, you’re automatically being more active which directly leads to enhanced blood flow, with well documented long term health benefits such as reduced stress and lower chance of heart disease.

Our recommendation is the Flexispot Active Standing Desk EQ5 for a sleek, professional look yet with the warmth a home office deserves. With this ergonomic standing solution, your posture is improved and your mind is free to focus on your work, not on the aches in your neck, back and hips. But if standing isn’t something you’d like to try, there is another solution.

Ergonomic Chair

A Flexispot ergonomic office chair is designed specifically to improve your posture while you’re working, resulting in little to no back pain. In addition, it also reduces stiffness and straining of the hips which, as a result, enhances circulation, helping boost the body’s metabolism. All of this leads to significant long term health benefits and reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Can you truly call your home office complete without one of these?

Our recommendation would have to be the FlexiChair BackSupport Office Chair BS8, which again gives a professional look but with so much ergonomic support hidden under the surface. You can say goodbye to back pain with one of these, and your energy will be able to go fully into your work, increasing both your concentration and efficiency.

Combination

Now for those of you that can’t decide between them (we don’t blame you, they’re both incredible evolutions in working equipment) there is a cheeky third option where you get the best of both worlds… And that simply is to get both of them. How else will you be able to get the best of both worlds without living both worlds?

But it’s true! With Flexispot’s height adjustable desks you can go from sitting to standing and back again with a push of a button! Or two buttons, one for up one for down. But it’s so easy to do, and when you’re changing to sit in your ergonomic chair you’ll see the incredible health benefits they both can offer start happening almost immediately! If you value your health and want to get ahead in your industry, this is the best way to do it.
