Using the Right Furniture

Selecting a good desk and using the right type

of chair can make a big difference in your level
of comfort. When you set up your furniture,
consider these suggestions:

An L- or U-shaped desk configuration works well because it
provides ample space to hold your computer equipment and
work materials while keeping everything within easy reach. A

split-level desk or one with a pull-out keyboard drawer lets

you place the keyboard in a comfortable typing position.

Since you’ll usually be sitting when you use your computer, it’s

important to have a good chair. An adjustable chair allows you

to support your body in the correct position. Make sure the

chair supports your lower back; the backrest should fit the
curvature of your spine. To reduce fatigue, try to use a chair

with adjustable, padded armrests so you can occasionally rest

your arms while you work.

Make sure the seat and backrest are wide enough so you can sit
in a variety of positions throughout the day. Also leave enough

room under the work surface so you can vary the position of

your legs.
