A range of office-friendly gadgets designed to make long desk days more comfortable and less damaging
A curated range of wellness gadgets has been put together by office experts to help make long days at your desk more comfortable.
Sitting for extended periods isn’t ideal, but even small tweaks to your setup can make a noticeable difference by the end of the day. From improving posture to boosting circulation, there are plenty of products designed to support both your physical comfort and overall wellbeing.
Office and education specialist Office Furniture Online offers a wide selection aimed at helping you work more comfortably and avoid the strain that can build up over time.
From ergonomic chairs to standing desks, and from wobble cushions to sitting balls, this selection has something for everyone - with prices starting at under £30.
Take the wobble cushion, for example. This inflatable insert improves blood circulation and strengthens the back by creating constant micromovements as you subconsciously maintain your balance. It's available in two colours, priced at £56.40.
Or there's a sitting ball, which pulls off a similar trick, encouraging movement and improving your posture. These also come in two colours and they're available in three sizes - they cost £79.20.
Ergonomic keyboards are designed to splay your hands out as you type for improved comfort and reduced fatigue. They take some getting used to, but they're great for people who get sore after a long day. This one, priced at £102, has a built-in wrist rest, and it's wireless.
Ergonomic chairs are a really good idea if you feel your posture is taking a pounding, because their designs, which are approved by chiropractors, encourage you to sit more sensibly. The range at Office Furniture Online starts at £171.60.
And a standing desk is a really good idea, because you can literally choose to sit or stand as you work.
This one, priced at £238.80 rises up electronically to your preset height, so you can sit down to type, and stand up to attend online meetings.

Plant-based ready meals have come a long way from the bland reputation they once had, and services such as Grubby are leaning into meals that look more like comforting weeknight dinners than traditional ‘healthy eating’ options.
