My company is one of those offices that had been temporarily closed due to the COVID-19 global pandemic. We were forced to work from home to mitigate the spread of the virus for our family’s protection. I know many can relate to my home office setup. My desk is our dining table, and my office chair in Singapore is our dining chair, which was very uncomfortable. It is where my issues started.
BACK PAIN AND WORK FROM HOME
I have nothing against working from home. I think it is very convenient and cost-effective. And I get to use my outdoor furniture more, too! But my only issue is my back pain.
My dining chair will never be a substitute for an office chair. Not only is it uncomfortable, but they are also not meant for eight-hour sitting. Moreover, the height balance between the dining table and chair is not ideal for working on a laptop.
In the end, I experienced back, shoulder, and neck pain which no massage could fix. So I finally decided to purchase an ergonomic chair.
ERGONOMIC OFFICE CHAIR IN SINGAPORE
I went to Harvey Norman, where I bought my other furniture in Singapore when I moved out. But why should it be an ergonomic chair and not an ordinary office chair?
Our office uses ergonomic office chairs for several reasons:
- They have adjustable heights to achieve the appropriate 90-degree angle of the arms and forearms when typing
- They support the natural S curve of the back to reduce back pain.
- They have an arm and headrest for extra support.
For these reasons, I decided to invest in an ergonomic office chair for my home office to mitigate my back, neck, and shoulder pain.
COMFORTABLE HOME OFFICE
After buying my ergonomic office chair in Singapore, I swear, the trajectory of my work-from-home journey changed. My back pains lessened and I barely needed a massage. My neck didn’t hurt anymore because I didn’t have to crane it because my dining chair was too low.
The cushions were very soft, and my butt won’t go numb after hours of working. I can also lay my head on my chair’s head support whenever I decide to give my eyes a break by staring at my home decor instead of my computer screen.
PERFECT FOR FREELANCERS, STUDENTS, AND GAMERS
I figured out that the ergonomic office chair I bought is not only for office workers in temporary work-from-home setups. It is perfect for those who are permanently in this setup, such as freelancers. These chairs are also ideal for online gamers who play computer games or do live streams for hours. Ergonomic chairs are also for students studying and working on their computers overnight.
I highly suggest after spending on a console table in Singapore, investing in ergonomic chairs, too. It will increase your productivity and reduce work-related pain and stress.
