Office Gear
Living with back pain zaps the fun out of your day. It’s exhausting and interferes with work, family time, and daily activities. If you spend a lot of time sitting in an office/gaming chair or driving in a car, lumbar support back cushions can help mitigate discomfort and reduce the risk of muscle injuries. The back support cushion has an ergonomic design that helps relieve upper, mid, and lower back pain/tightness. It supports you in achieving the correct posture and helps maintain a gentle curve in the spine. With regular use, lumbar support cushions can reduce stress on your spine and tailbone while seated and reduce the risk related to musculoskeletal disorder injuries. |
Cloud Nine Ergonomic Split Keyboard
Ever experience discomfort while working long hours at your desk? Headaches, tingling fingers, and arm, wrist, shoulder, and neck pains are common issues experienced by individuals who spend hours typing on a keyboard. When we work using standard keyboards, our hands stay in a position that is not natural and causes movements that block blood flow. Our forearms are cramped, and our fingers repeatedly stretch at awkward angles to reach keys. Repeating the same unnatural movements over and over can cause incremental damage that can lead to serious injury. Ergonomic keyboards encourage neutral forearm and wrist posture by providing more space for our wrists and forearms to sit in the middle of the keyboard while we type. The Human-Centered Design of these keyboards helps reduce workplace stress and aims to enhance comfort. Ergonomic split keyboards can be adjusted as we see fit to provide us with the most comfortable typing we have ever experienced! By improving your wrist movements, you will increase your level of comfort while typing. |
The human body is designed for dynamic movement. Staying in any one position too long, such as sitting, can lead to long-term consequences, not to mention short-term uncomfortable aches and pains! With a dynamic workstation, you can promote a healthier approach to working by having the flexibility to alternate between working while standing or sitting. Numerous studies have shown that the ability to work while standing increases energy levels, concentration, and productivity . This model’s desk height range includes various heights that allow you to tailor your workstation to you, helping to eliminate the negative effects of maintaining any posture too long! |
Floortex Anti-Fatigue Floor Mat
Working at a standing desk can still cause fatigue and bad posture if you choose to stand for an extended period. Standing for long durations can be harmful for your circulation and your feet. Anti-fatigue mats increase the benefits of the customizable Stand-Up Desk Converter, as they reduce the impacts of fatigue on your legs and body when you do choose to stand for a long time on a hard surface. They are placed directly underneath your desk and should be readily available to move into position when you move from seated to standing. The raised ergonomic surround of this mat allows you to move your ankles and feet more, helps you stay alert, fight fatigue, and can increase blood flow. |

The gentle compression offered by these gloves can help with hand pain and reduce the occurrence of blisters and the fingerless design helps users to grip with their hands and move their chairs.

We all have experienced eye strain, pain, and dryness while working for hours staring at the computer screen or watching television. Ever wondered why that is? It’s the blue light! Blue light is part of the visible light spectrum range that has the shortest wavelength but highest energy. When your eyes are exposed to blue light for a longer duration of time, it can increase your risk for eye diseases, disrupt your sleeping patterns, and harm your health in many different ways. Blue light blocking glasses are specifically made to filter out blue light and they help improve visual performance by alleviating eye fatigue and help to conserve macular health. The flexible and lightweight frame material in this model allows for extended use as reading glasses in front of all electronic devices. |
Kitchen Accessories
We tend to overlook safety measures while working in the kitchen. Cuts and abrasions from chopping produce are common occurrences. These injuries can be serious, leading to permanent numbness in the area that has been affected. Cut-resistant gloves are a simple and cost-effective option to protect your hands. The cut-resistant material is 10 times stronger than a standard glove and provides excellent comfort and dexterity to wear and grip. It’s easy to clean and provides the necessary safety for your hands. |
