Most offices were designed at a time when people were smaller, which can cause discomfort and back and neck strain for larger workers. However, a few changes can provide more support for your frame. Whether you’re big, tall or both, these three office modifications can help you work more comfortably and increase your productivity.
Switch Out Your Office Chair
You spend most of your workday sitting in your office chair, so invest in a quality one. Tall workers should choose a chair with a high back that offers plenty of lumbar support, while heavy workers can benefit from a bariatric office chair.
Use an Adjustable Desk
Sitting too far away from your desk due to your size can strain your wrists and eyes. Choose a fully adjustable desk to keep your workspace at just the right height. A desk that adjusts from sitting to standing can also help with back pain.
Add Memory Foam Mats
If your job requires you to spend a lot of time standing on your feet, supportive memory foam mats can help prevent foot and back aches. You can also use a memory foam mat underneath your bariatric office chair to protect the floor and provide extra support.
