Standing at your desk: the healthy working day

Standing desks used to be a status symbol: centuries ago, priests preached from the pulpit and teachers taught at the lectern. With the age of office work came the office desk and brought a seemingly comfortable working posture to offices. However, the negative consequences of the persistent unnatural sitting posture were not long in coming. The desk became a health risk. 

VDU work is an underestimated danger. Prolonged sitting at a desk in front of a PC or laptop can promote or even trigger a wide range of illnesses. 

Sitting is the new smoking

Studies say: too much sitting makes you ill. Back pain, slipped discs and poor posture are only part of the problem. Staying immobile in the same position for a long time reduces the metabolism. As a result, fewer calories are burned and muscles are broken down. Obesity and diabetes are not long in coming. In addition, the risk of coronary artery calcification increases with every hour spent sitting, according to science. 

Experts recommend sitting for no more than six hours a day and preferably not in a static sitting position. Standing up again and again, moving your legs or doing yoga exercises interrupts the motionless staring at the screen. Constantly changing position, supported by ergonomic office furniture, is important for the health of the whole body. 


Standing desk as a desk

 Today, we know that even small changes in habits can have major positive effects on body and mind. Modern furniture designers have reinvented the standing desk and made it height-adjustable electrically or with a crank. This brings more action into everyday life! And your health says thank you. The metabolism, as well as creativity, are brought back to life when changing position at the desk. 


Standing desk: many advantages at the workplace 

Scientific studies prove that working at a standing desk has a long list of advantages over working at a traditional office desk. 

  • Working while standing strengthens the muscles in your back and legs
  • The circulation keeps going in an upright position 
  • Researchers say: after just six months, students standing up learned more than their seated colleagues and had advantages in concentration 
  • People burn more energy standing up: 0.15 more calories per minute than when sitting down
  • The upright posture enables deeper breathing and ensures a better oxygen supply 
  • Muscles are built up and not broken down while standing 
  • Scientists say that we communicate more efficiently and convincingly when standing up 
  • Our voice also sounds stronger and more confident when we stand up 
  • Those who are already standing are less lazy and more willing to incorporate additional exercise such as stretching, going to another room or to the coffee machine

Due to the higher venous pressure in the legs, the standing desk is a better alternative to traditional desks for many, but not for everyone. Experts believe that it's the variety that makes the difference. That's why the height-adjustable sit-stand desk is such a good all-rounder for the office and home office. In all areas, it is the answer to the question of the healthiest working position. 

Standing correctly at a standing desk 

Not only the right seat, but also a slightly different stance are crucial to making the desk a more comfortable place. You should always pay attention to your posture at your desk. 

  • In which room will the desk be located? 
  • Relax your shoulders and do not pull them up towards your ears to protect your neck. 
  • Comfortable and well-fitting shoes are important at the office desk. Avoid slippers and high heels. 
  • Choose a soft surface, such as a carpet, and avoid hard floors in the corner where your standing desk is located. 
  • Don't stand still! Move around, stretch, take a few steps, even in the square and enjoy the freedom of movement at the standing desk. 
  • Not every table top is suitable for every working style. Use the height adjustability of standing desks & Co to your advantage and make the right adjustments. The ergonomics of the workstation are important. Choose a standing desk that is not only best for documents, computers and printers, but also for your body. 


From standing to sitting and back in the blink of an eye 

Almost all modern standing desks are height-adjustable. The great advantage of this is the flexible and dynamic use during the day and also from employee to employee: the adjustment of the desk can be customized. 


The right standing desk: a height-adjustable table with many functions

When it comes to height-adjustable desks, it is particularly important to rely on good quality, as stability is essential for this product so that the table top does not wobble under load. It goes without saying that the screen must not fall over when the desk height is changed frequently and even after years, the standing desk must still adapt to the needs of the workplace as it did on the first day. 


Find your ideal standing desk 

Made of wood or plastic, with a large or small table top, white or in the color of your choice: give your laptop or computer a new home. 

Who is the height-adjustable table for? 

Electrically adjustable office desks are suitable for anyone who wants to adopt a healthy posture when working at a desk. The electrically adjustable standing desk is ideal for the home office or the office. 

How high should the adjustable desk be? 

The height-adjustable desk changes its height between 65 and 120 centimetres, depending on the model, and thus does everything it can to provide the best possible relief for the body 

In which room will the desk be located? 

With a minimum length of 120 centimetres and a minimum width of 67 centimetres, our height-adjustable standing desks require sufficient space. Not least because the standing desk also needs an ergonomic desk chair for a good seat when work is not being carried out standing up. The room must also have an appropriate power supply for automatic locking of the desk at the touch of a button. 

How long will you be working at the standing desk? 

Experts agree: working too long in a sitting position is unhealthy. In an eight-hour working day, you should sit for a maximum of five hours, stand for a good two and a half hours and spend the rest of the time actively moving. For example, walking around while talking on the phone, going to the coffee machine or standing up to use the printer or photocopier. 

Are you sitting in a relieving posture? 

Very few people work at a desk in a perfectly seated position. If you sit too much, you will adopt a relaxed posture and overload your back in a very bent position. In the long term, this has negative consequences for your posture and your health. The sit/stand desk protects your back and neck and meets the needs of your muscles.
