Posted by OfficeAnything on Jan 8th 2018

Operating at peak performance levels doesn't have to be a hassle. You just have to lay the groundwork for a productive year with key ergonomic components. Today on the blog we'll help you do just that. Here we'll showcase the 5 ergonomic items you'll need to take 2018 by storm. From a reliable office chair to simpler office add-ons, these products will help you improve posture and blood flow while simultaneously reducing strain.

Reliable Office Chair1.) Reliable Office Chair

The right office chair is a must. Like most shoppers, you've probably been a bit overwhelmed with the selection of chairs available on the market. With nearly every manufacturer on the planet claiming they've got the best chair for your back, how do you choose? By doing your homework, that's how! If you have a showroom in your area, give it a visit. You'll be rewarded with invaluable tips, suggestions, and advice on selecting the perfect chair. If you don't have a showroom in your area, look up product demo videos and office chair reviews to educate yourself on chairs that will help you make it through task filled work days. We could go on and on about office chairs we love, but we thought it would be easier to just provide you with a list of our 5 favorites.

Office Chairs To Consider In 2018:
  • Eon by Cherryman Industries (True value buy that packs a major ergonomic punch)
  • Vion by Global (Best all around office chair)
  • Ergohuman by Eurotech Seating (Perfect for upscale interiors)
  • Rave by SitWell (Ideal for all day computing)
  • Oro by OFM (Great for big and tall users)
Sit To Stand Monitor Arm2.) Sit To Stand Monitor Arm

You can invest in a sit to stand desktop convertor, or you can turn your desk into a sit to stand workstation without taking up a bunch of surface space. We recommend saving the space with sit to stand attachments. While some have added both surface convertors and attachments, you really don't have to. First invest in a dual screen sit to stand monitor arm like the Allure from Symmetry Office. It will create additional space, reduce visual strain, and lay the groundwork for sit to stand computing.

Sit To Stand Keyboard Tray3.) Sit To Stand Keyboard Tray

You'll need to pair your sit to stand monitor arm with a like-minded keyboard tray. We recommend sticking with the same brand. Symmetry Office crafts awesome keyboard trays like the Balance 3 that make it easy to transition between sit-down and stand-up positions. With the Balance 3 keyboard tray and Allure monitor arm you'll be encouraging continuous movement, reducing fatigue, and improving blood flow.

Clamp On Power Module with USB Inputs4.) Clamp On Power Module

Simple, effective, and affordable. Clamp on power modules will be an office-staple for productivity minded workers in 2018. Why spend time venturing underneath your desk to route wires and turn on devices? Enjoy the benefits of surface level USB and AC inputs with a module like the FlexCharge4 from ESI for just $129.00. This versatile tool will save you time and reduce strain daily.

CPU Holder5.) CPU Holder

Last but not least, the noble CPU holder deserves a place in your ergonomic arsenal. In particular, we recommend under-mount holders that attach to the bottom of operating surfaces. Our personal favorite is the CPU05 from ESI. It mounts on retractable glides that allow the CPU to be slid out of the way when not in use. This means you can create additional leg room and a more comfortable computing experience. With your CPU mounted to the desk, you won't have to bend all the way to the floor to use it. Your CPU will also be protected against water damage and even theft.
