Principles of ergonomic furniture

A computer chair is a piece of furniture that remote workers often spend 8-10 hours on. Therefore, the chair should be as convenient and comfortable as possible.

The best models of chairs are those with adjustable height, seat depth and tilt angle. Also, make sure that there is a special bolster in the lumbar region: it helps support the back.

As for the computer desk, its height should be such that your hands, when in a relaxed position, are positioned on its surface at an angle of 90 degrees.

As with a chair, it's best to choose models that you can adjust to suit your height.
