Certainly gripping, jogging pants instead of a suit - home office initially sounds like pure freedom. But if you have spent eight hours over a laptop bent at the kitchen table, you know that without the right furnishings it quickly becomes uncomfortable - and harmful to health. Her back hurts, her neck tenses, her eyes burn.

This is exactly where ergonomics into play. A cleverly designed workplace not only protects your body, but also increases your concentration, motivation and mood. And the best thing about it: you do not need your own office or assets-just a little know-how and the right tools. Let us explore how you can do your home office fit for productive and healthy work.

The basic building blocks of an ergonomic home office

The right desk

The desk height should fit your body size - ideally between 68 and 76 cm. Your forearms should rest at a 90 ° angle and your shoulders should stay relaxed. A height -adjustable desk is perfect for occasional work while standing.

Tip: If a new table is not an option, an essay can help to bring your laptop or monitor at eye level.

An office chair, ergonomically designed

The chair is the heart of your workplace. An ergonomically shaped office chair supports her back, adapts to your movements and promotes active sitting.

Recommendation: Sihoo brand offers ergonomic office chairs with an adjustable lordosis support, breathable-active mesh backrest and flexible tendency to seat-and all of this at an amazingly fair price-performance ratio. Particularly popular: the Sihoo M57 model , which offers many features that are otherwise only known from much more expensive office chairs.

Monitor, keyboard and mouse

Position your monitor so that the upper screen is located at eye level. There should be space for an arm length between your eyes and the screen. An external keyboard and mouse enable you to work with a straight back and relaxed shoulders.

Ergonomic work also means integrating movement

Even the best ergonomic chair is not a substitute for movement. Stand up regularly, stretch, go through the room or do easy exercises in your seat.

The 40-15-5 rule can help:

  • Sit for 40 minutes
  • Leave for 15 minutes
  • Train for 5 minutes for 5 minutes

A short walking meditation or stretching exercises in the afternoon can make miracles - your body will thank you.

Light and air - often underestimated

Natural light is ideal for concentration. Place your desk as close as possible to a window without direct glare. Complete this with a desk lamp with neutral white light. Also ensure optimal air circulation - fresh air improves cognitive functions and general well -being.

Ergonomics in the home office - daylight and fresh air are often neglected.

Checklist: Your ergonomic home office at a glance

Area What you should pay attention to
Chair Ergonomic office chair, e.g. from Sihoo, with lordosis support and seat adjustment
Table height Suitable for the body size (ideally height adjustable)
monitor Upper edge of the monitor at eye level, at least 50–70 cm distance
Keyboard & mouse External keyboard and mouse enable a relaxed arm position
lighting Daylight plus glare -free desk lamp
Movement Regular change of husbandry and short breaks

Final words

Ergonomic work from home is not a science - it is a conscious decision. You do not need a designer office, but a functional device that protects your body and increases your well -being. A high -quality, ergonomic office chair - as it is offered by Sihoo - is a crucial component.

Start small: Lift your laptop, set the screen, use a pillow for your back - and if you want to take the next step: Treat yourself to a chair that supports you optimally.
