If you’re one of the millions of people who became a remote worker in 2020, you’ve likely realized that your WFH setup is more important than you once thought. Prior to the pandemic, you probably assumed working from home meant laying in bed, slumping on the couch with a blanket, or sitting on the porch with a cup of coffee. Ah, wouldn’t that be nice?
In reality, if you’re regularly working from home for hours each day, you’re going to need a more ergonomic setup. That means either having a designated office with a desk and chair, or getting creative with a laptop stand or desk converter. Ergonomics and comfort look a bit different for everyone, which is why we’ve rounded up 10 different options on sale this weekend to suit your individual WFH needs. Save yourself the struggle from back and neck pain and mend your mangled spine with these ergonomic improvements.
