Automatic Standing Desks

Sitting for long periods of time puts pressure on your lower back and spine. This is why standing desks are actually better than a regular desk. With an incorporated, automatic standing desk, you’ll effortlessly reduce the amount of time spent sitting. You can adjust the desk to suit your exact height or depending on the task you're doing, so you’re never left in an uncomfortable position.

Standing desks are also good for posture. Standing alleviates back pain by engaging the core muscles and promoting a more natural alignment of the spine. Standing also requires greater energy expenditure, which can boost metabolism and burn more calories. You’ll also notice improved blood circulation, which is healthier for your muscles. Additionally, standing desks promote movement and changing positions, reducing stiffness and muscle tensions.

First, ensure the size of the desk is suitable to your space and accommodates your work setup, whether you need a small standing desk or a larger one. We offer a variety of sizes, ranging from 150cm to 180cm. Make sure to measure the size of your workspace and check that you have adequate room on each side.

The next thing to consider is your height, and whether the desk will sit at an appropriate level for you. This is the most important factor for ensuring you’re getting the most benefit from the desk, and that ergonomics are working in your favour. Luckily, our desks have a wide range of height adjustments that accommodate a range of users.

Lastly, consider any additional features you may need with your desk, such as cable management trays, and whether you want to incorporate a compact walking treadmill into your setup.

Standing desks can be a very new experience for many people, so it’s important to make a smooth transition to standing desk usage. Here are some steps you can take when using one for the first time:

1. Start slow: begin by standing for short periods of time, such as 15-30 minutes, and gradually increase standing duration over time.
2. Find the correct height: You want the height of the desk to be at a level that allows your elbows to be at a 90-degree angle when typing, and your screen to be at eye level. This will create the least amount of strain on your neck and shoulders.
3. Adjust posture: Maintain good posture while standing, with relaxed shoulders, straight back and feet flat on the floor.
4. Wear comfortable shoes: Make sure to choose a supportable pair of shoes to provide proper arch support to help reduce discomfort while standing.
5. Make changes: Once you get into the rhythm of using a standing desk, make sure to listen to your body, taking note of any discomfort or pain so that you can adjust accordingly.

By gradually incorporating standing into your daily routine, listening to your body, and maintaining good posture, you can smoothly transition to using a standing desk and enjoy the potential health benefits it offers.
