How does sitting all day at your desk make you feel?

Lethargic, enervated and frustrated? Stiff and uncomfortable? Perhaps you often struggle with issues like a bad back or neck strain. The reason that stand-sit desks are so popular is because they combat problems exactly like these. Their benefits are especially apparent when we compare them to older designs.

Desks are a key part of any home office. However, traditional designs can have a host of issues that impact our productivity, health and overall comfort. 

Let’s take a look at the most common issues, and why our modern electric desks are an investment for your future working life. 

Many traditional desks have poor ergonomics. 

In other words, they’re not designed to support our health and wellbeing. Older desks don’t tend to accommodate people of different shapes and sizes, leading to issues like:

• Poor posture.  Standard desks can often cause us to hunch over, leading to back and neck strain.
• Not enough support for the arms.  The height of traditional desks may not provide proper arm support, causing discomfort or repetitive strain injuries.
• Eye strain. If you have a fixed desk, it’s hard to adjust the screen to your height. For many people, this leads to eye strain and their corollary, headaches.

Older desks tend to be less flexible than electric desks. 

Traditional desks offer little flexibility in terms of adjusting to your needs. This lack of adaptability can lead to problems like a static posture. Sitting in one position for many hours can lead to feelings of somnolence and reduce your circulation. 

A fixed desk also makes it tricky to make changes to your home office. 

Traditional desks tend to take up more space. 

Desks can often be bulky, taking up significant floor space and leaving little room for other office furniture or activities. This can lead to more clutter than you would like. Many people find it hard to organise documents and their office supplies in such cases. 

You might also have difficulties in moving around the workspace, making it harder to stay productive. Then there’s the way they look…

HADO has a range of stylish modern desks, including electric designs. 

Traditional desks might not fit modern aesthetic preferences, leading to workplaces that feel outdated or uninspired. This can impact morale and the desire to maintain a tidy workspace.

Over time, traditional desks made from cheaper materials may show signs of wear and tear, such as scratches, warping, or wobbling, which can detract from their functionality and appearance.

Why upgrade to one of our electric desks?

Electric desks, especially stand-sit desks, address many of the shortcomings of traditional desks. These innovative solutions offer numerous advantages in terms of ergonomics, flexibility, and overall workplace wellness.

They can be adjusted to the optimal height for each user, promoting better posture and comfort. This adaptability helps prevent issues like back and neck strain. 

You can adjust the desk to their preferred height with ease, ensuring that monitors are at eye level and that arms are properly supported. Being able to switch between sitting and standing helps maintain a neutral spine position and reduces pressure on the lower back.

The ability to transition between sitting and standing positions is one of the most significant advantages of electric desks. This flexibility offers:

These desks encourage movement throughout the day, which can boost energy levels and concentration. You can easily adjust their work environment based on their specific tasks, enhancing comfort and efficiency.

Our electric desks can often be more compact or designed to maximise workspace efficiency. They include integrated cable management and storage solutions to help reduce clutter.

Stand-sit desks are a popular choice among electric designs, offering specific benefits that address the limitations of traditional desks.Alternating between sitting and standing throughout the day can have numerous health benefits, such as improving blood flow. This reduces the risk of cardiovascular issues associated with prolonged sitting. 

Increased movement can help burn more calories, contributing to better weight management.

Standing after meals can help moderate blood sugar levels, so it can potentially reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes.

Research suggests that stand-sit desks can enhance productivity by boosting concentrate. 

Regular movement breaks can help maintain focus and prevent the lethargy associated with sitting too long. 

Many people find the ability to change positions can stimulate their creative thinking and problem-solving skills. With our electric standing desks, we can help you reap the full benefits of this type of design.
