Workstation Ergonomics - Are You Working Comfortably?

The essentials to a fully ergonomic workstation do much more than simply promote and reduce the risk of pain and musculoskeletal disorders. Good ergonomics increase productivity and protect the offices most important asset, its work force. As a leading source for the most desirable ergonomic seating and accessories, Sit4Less.com is excited to introduce its newest additions, the most cutting edge innovations in workstation ergonomics from Humanscale.

The centerpiece of the ergonomic workstation is the M2 Monitor Arm, which redefine high-performance monitor arms. Current generation monitor arms utilize bulky, failure-prone gas cylinder to support the weight of the monitor. The M2 instead uses an innovative mechanical spring to achieve exceptional performance and durability in its lightweight, ultra-thin design. With the use of a monitor arm like the M2 the user is allowed access to the many daily tasks that consume a busy workday without twisting, turning, straining or reaching. One of the most important features of the M2 is that the monitor is no longer stationary, but can be adjusted and repositioned quickly and easily, ensuring each user can work in ideal ergonomic conditions.

The Switch Mouse by Humanscale is the revolutionary mousing solution that brings unprecedented ergonomics to computer users. This groundbreaking peripheral device boosts comfort and reduces injury risks through a number of new innovations. Its V-shaped base and four-way scrolling dish complement a built-in palm support for exceptional user comfort. In addition, the Switch Mouse is the only mousing solution that accommodates both left and right-handed users while adjusting to fit the size of virtually any adult hand. Virtually everyone has experienced pain and discomfort after a long day hunched over the keyboard. That’s because poor posture while typing has been know to cause neck pain and upper and lower back pain, as well as carpal tunnel syndrome and other work related musculoskeletal disorders. The fact is a keyboard placed directly on the desktop creates a number of injury risks.

Humanscale’s articulating Platinum 5G Keyboard System helps form the base of the ergonomic workstation. It works in conjunction with a monitor arm and task chair to literally bring the work directly to the user, allowing him to lean back in his chair and maintain healthy ergonomic posture. Unlike keyboard supports of the past that were often large and bulky, cumbersome in design, the Platinum 5G offer the slimmest profile in the industry.

Of course no ergonomic office would be complete without the perfect office chair. Sit4Less.com is the place to go for upscale ergonomic office seating and with name brands like Humanscale, Herman Miller, Steelcase and more there is an ergonomic seating solution for everyone.
