FAQs

What is the best lumbar support for office chairs?

A separate lumbar cushion (e.g. Purple, ComfiLife) or a chair with adjustable lumbar. Position it so it supports the curve of your lower back.

How high should my monitor be when working from home?

Top of the screen at or slightly below eye level, about an arm's length away. A monitor arm makes this easy to adjust.

Can a standing desk improve posture?

Alternating between sitting and standing helps. Do not stand all day — aim for 30–60 minutes standing, then switch. Anti-fatigue mats help.
