Standing desks are transforming the way we work. You no longer need to endure the discomfort of spending the entire day sitting down. With an office standing desk, you have the freedom to mix it up by introducing regular active movement into your day. At Office Furniture Online, we’re all about healthier workdays – and that’s why we stock a huge collection of sit-stand desks for corporate workspaces and home offices.
Sitting in the same position for too long isn’t good for your posture, but neither is an extended spell of standing up. That’s why a height adjustable desk is such a worthwhile addition to your workday – it lets you alternate between sitting and standing at regular intervals, stretching out those aches and pains with regular movement. Using a sit-stand desk helps to improve posture, ease strain and aid circulation. Want to find out more? We explain all the benefits of a standing desk in our OFO blog.
Our electric standing desks make height adjustments easier than ever. Powerful motors deliver smooth movements and near-silent operation to find the perfect desk height without any noise disruption. Many of our adjustable standing desks also feature anti-collision technology, automatically stopping the desktop from raising or lowering if any nearby obstacles are detected. Choose from electric desks with simple UP/DOWN controls, or upgrade to a control panel with memory to save your preferred heights.
Sit-stand desks aren’t just changing the workday in corporate settings. Home office standing desks are becoming an increasingly popular option for remote workers and WFH professionals. We stock a wide variety of small standing desks for use around the home. With the correct standing desk posture and regular movement, you’ll benefit from a more active workday – great for focus, concentration and energy levels.
Why are standing desks good for you?
Using a standing desk breaks up long stretches of sitting. This supports better posture, encourages healthier circulation and reduces the feeling of stiffness that builds up over the day. Switching between sitting and standing keeps your body active and prevents you from staying in one static position.
Is it better to sit or stand at an electric desk?
Spending all day in either position isn’t ideal. The best approach is to alternate between the two. Experts recommend a balanced sit-stand routine so you spend roughly the same amount of time in each position. Alternatively, spend slightly more time sitting and incorporate regular standing breaks – this reduces strain and keeps your body moving.
How long should I stand at a standing desk each day?
A good starting point is 15-30 minutes of standing per hour, gradually increasing it if it feels comfortable to do so. Regular movement is far better than long, uninterrupted standing sessions. As a general rule, aim to stand for about an hour for every one to two hours you spend seated.
