Sit well at the computer with ergonomic accessories

Here on this page, you will find our selection of ergonomic computer accessories.

There are many aids that help you achieve the right sitting position when sitting at the workstation.

With ergonomic aids, injuries to the back, shoulders, elbows, and hands can be prevented.

Here you will find, among other things, back supports that support both your lumbar and back and provide you with optimal support and a better working posture throughout the day.

You will also find a selection of arm and wrist supports that support your forearm and wrist when you work with a mouse.

The arm and wrist supports relieve pressure on the wrists, elbows, and shoulder/neck region, and can therefore help prevent the so-called mouse injuries.

8 types of products that can help achieve a better working posture

When you spend most of your working time at a computer, the body can wear out and potentially sustain permanent injuries over time.

With the right ergonomic products, you can prevent these injuries, therefore you will find below 8 products that can help achieve a better working posture.

#1 - Arm support for use with a mouse

When working a lot at the computer, it is inevitable that you need to use a mouse.

A lot of people use the mouse in a way that strains the neck/shoulders and wrist.

If you use the mouse a lot over many years, you risk permanent damage to tendons, nerves, and joints.

A good arm support can relieve the entire arm, shoulders, and neck, thereby preventing these injuries.

Arm supports for use with a mouse come in many designs and some can also be used with a keyboard.

Some need to be fixed to the desk and others can rest on the desk; regardless of what is right for you, the most important thing is to relieve pressure on your arms and wrists, thereby avoiding permanent mouse injuries.

#2 - Document holder

Many people may not think about it when sitting at the computer and need to read from a piece of paper, or something else on the desk next to them.

But the neck muscles really come under pressure when you look down, and maybe a bit to the side, and up at the screen.

Perhaps you also lean a bit to the side in order to see what’s on the paper, which also puts strain on your back.

With a document holder that can be screwed to the back edge of the desk, you can elevate your document to the height of the screen and also get it very close to the side of the screen.

This means that you limit movement to a very slight rotation in the neck and can thereby reduce pressure on the neck muscles, and decrease the risk of tension headaches at the end of the day.

#3 - Footrest

When you work a lot at a computer or desk, you often sit in the same position for many hours straight.

This can decrease blood circulation and make muscles stiff.

With the right footrest, you can increase blood circulation and prevent stiff muscles while you work.

A good footrest elevates your feet and legs, thus providing a better body posture; it can be adjusted in angle and possibly height, so you achieve a comfortable working position.

#4 - Back support

After a long day at the desk, you may have been slouching a bit in your back.

This can lead to a very poor posture and not least back pain when you go home to your family.

If you ignore the pain, you risk it becoming chronic pain.

A back support can ensure that throughout the day you maintain the right working position, thereby reducing pressure on the spine and preserving an upright posture.

A back support can be as simple as a latex cushion placed between your back and the backrest of the chair, or it can be a back support that is firmly attached to your chair and ensures both an optimal sitting position and air circulation around the back.

Some back supports can even be adjusted, just as you may be familiar with from the driver's seat in a car, so it supports from the sides, in the lumbar area, and at the top of the back.

#5 - Seat cushion

A seat cushion made of gel or memory foam distributes the weight from the seat muscle and coccyx across the entire surface of the cushion.

This means you will sit more comfortably and also relieve pressure on your spine and backside.

Some also experience a sensation of a slightly more active sitting position.

#6 - Laptop holder

If you work on a laptop that is positioned next to one or two additional screens, you are familiar with both the lack of space on the desk and a significant rotation of the neck to look from one screen to the other.

With a laptop holder that mounts on the desk, you can elevate your laptop to a height that aligns with your other screens while also achieving the exact angle that suits you.

Most laptop holders have another really positive effect for your laptop—cooling of the device.

Since the laptop is elevated and has air circulation around it, you can experience better performance.

#7 - Lumbar support

After a long day of work, when you are starting to feel increasingly tired in both body and mind, you begin to slouch a bit in your body.

The lumbar region is often the first to be affected.

Here, a lumbar support can help by providing optimal support and better comfort.

When you slouch in the lumbar region, pressure is not only placed on the back but also on the sciatic nerve, which can cause pain and significant discomfort.

It is also possible that you are already experiencing tension and pain in the lumbar and sciatic areas; in that case, you can try a lumbar support that can help alleviate this pain.

#8 - Standing chair

A standing chair or a standing support chair is a chair that activates all core muscles. It engages your body while you stand or sit at the desk.

It does this because it can tilt in all directions, without tipping over; it can be adjusted in height so that you can vary your sitting position throughout the day.

The standing support chair also stimulates your legs and feet with small movements that enhance blood circulation and reduce muscle stiffness.

There is often a full 360-degree turning radius, allowing you to easily turn around and talk to colleagues.

So if you work many hours and experience pain or discomfort in your body overall, a standing chair could be interesting.
