Find Your Perfect Ergonomic Setup

Enter your height and we'll calculate the ideal dimensions for your desk, monitor, chair, and footrest.


The Desk

Essential ergonomics and workspace terms explained.

Lumbar Support

The lower-back support built into ergonomic chairs that maintains the natural inward curve of the lumbar spine. Proper lumbar support prevents the pelvis from tilting backward, which is the primary driver of lower-back pain during prolonged sitting.

Monitor Ergonomics

The science of positioning a display to minimize eye strain, neck tension, and postural fatigue. The monitor top should sit at or slightly below eye level, at arm's length distance, with no reflective glare from windows or overhead lights.

Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI)

A category of musculoskeletal conditions caused by repeated movements, sustained postures, or forceful exertions over time. Common desk-related RSIs include carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis, and cervical radiculopathy.

Standing Desk Protocol

The practice of alternating between sitting and standing at regular intervals rather than standing continuously. Most ergonomics guidelines recommend 20–30 minutes of standing per hour of sitting for optimal benefit.

Blue Light

Short-wavelength, high-energy visible light emitted by LED screens, smartphones, and fluorescent lighting. Excessive blue light exposure in the evening can suppress melatonin production and disrupt sleep cycles.

Cable Management

The systematic organization of power, data, and peripheral cables to prevent clutter, reduce hazards, and maintain visual clarity. Effective cable management combines under-desk trays, raceways, Velcro ties, and desk grommets.
