For the majority of my workday, I’m either sitting in a chair at my desk in the office or (when at home) laying in a bed with my laptop propped up (this is yet another downside to living in a pint-sized NYC apartment). While working from home (bed) can sometimes be a benefit, just about halfway through the workday every day, my back and knees begin screaming at me, and I’m sure my circulatory system is also not happy thanks to sitting down nearly all day long. To help, I try to do 15 to 20 minutes of awkwardly stretching and readjusting my body, but this never yields much relief. One of the best solutions to beat a sedentary lifestyle while working all day (whether at home or in the office) is investing in a standing desk.
A standing desk is basically what it sounds like—the surface of the desk is elevated much higher than normal and it doesn’t require a chair. As a result, you can stand and work without having to bend down, which offers a laundry list of health-boosting benefits, including improving circulation, preventing weight gain, reducing neck and back pain, and the list goes on.
The best standing desks for working from home can be adjusted to better fit your exact working preferences and your height. Many standing desks are also equipped with wheels if you want to move around as you work as well—and trust me, this is an upgrade you never knew you needed but will love. If you’re ready to make the switch and improve your health while you work all day, scroll through below to check out some of the best standing desks for working from home on the market.
