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 to vary the position of your legs.

Adjust the height of your chair so when you are using the

keyboard or mouse your upper arms are vertical and your

forearms and wrists are horizontal. For good circulation, your

feet should rest flat on the floor with your lower legs vertical and

your knees level with your hips. You may need to use a footrest

to maintain the correct alignment for your legs.
