8 hours at a bad desk is destroying your body. Here's how to fix it properly — with products from Amazon UK.
The 6 Ergonomic Essentials
1. Monitor at Eye Level
Your monitor top should be at or just below eye level, arm's length away. Most people need to raise their screen by 10-15cm.
BONTEC Monitor Stand — £24.99 →2. Chair Height and Lumbar Support
Feet flat on floor, knees at 90 degrees, lower back supported. Adjust your chair height first — everything else follows.
SIHOO Ergonomic Chair — £89.99 →3. Keyboard and Mouse Position
Keyboard at elbow height, mouse close to keyboard. Never reach for your mouse — it strains your shoulder over time.
Seenda Wireless Combo — £34.99 →4. Proper Lighting
No screen glare, illuminated desk surface, no bright light sources directly behind your monitor.
SLATOR LED Desk Lamp — £26.99 →5. Stand Up Every Hour
Sitting for 8 hours straight is harmful even with perfect ergonomics. Stand up, stretch and move for 2 minutes every hour.
FlexiSpot Standing Desk — £189.99 →6. Footrest if Needed
If your feet don't reach the floor comfortably, a footrest is cheaper than a new chair and prevents hip pain.
