Sit better - The advantages of an ergonomic office stool

Many people underestimate the effects of an unhealthy sitting posture. What seems insignificant in the first weeks and months can become a major health problem. The consequences of a poor chair range from simple back pain to long-term spinal injuries. With an ergonomic office stool, you protect your back through a natural sitting posture. We have summarized all the advantages of the stool!

What is an ergonomic office stool?

The ergonomic office stool is characterized by two main features: It has no backrest, and no armrests. This concept forces the seated person to adopt an upright posture on their own. While people often "sink" into classic office chairs, leaning heavily backward, this unhealthy posture is not possible on a stool.

According to surveys, almost 55 percent of Germans sit for more than four and a half hours a day. In many cases, eight hours of work at a desk is no longer uncommon. After a "sitting time" of more than 4.5 hours a day, health consequences become increasingly likely. Experts therefore recommend moving at least once every two hours, for example, for a short walk.

The ergonomic office stool (partially) takes over these movement breaks. However, it is important that you choose a so-called 3D sitting stool when buying, because only with it is continuous movement guaranteed. For a better understanding, a brief explanation of what distinguishes such a model: The 3D sitting stool is movable in all directions. The seat is 360 degrees rotatable, and on the underside, there is usually a semi-circular rubber surface that creates a kind of "rubber ball effect."

A 3D sitting stool from Deskspace ensures that your body remains in constant motion while you work. These micro-movements are primarily caused by your torso and upper body having to compensate for the stool's flexibility. This movement is barely noticeable, so you won't start sweating. In the following sections, we will look at the exact advantages of this piece of furniture.

Improved Concentration

What would you pay attention to when buying an office chair? Comfort is probably the most important or one of the most important features, as almost 70 percent of buyers prioritize it. But is that always the right decision?

There is no clear answer to this, as comfort has both advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, an office chair must offer sufficient comfort to make long working days as comfortable as possible. However, excessively soft upholstery and neck cushions can also contribute to you becoming tired and sluggish, which then reflects in your concentration.

The ergonomic sitting stool from Deskspace promotes active and sustainable sitting, because the small micro-movements continuously stimulate your brain with oxygen. The result is improved concentration, which becomes noticeable after just a few days of use. In addition, since you always sit in an upright position, the lymphatic system is relieved and you can focus on a specific task for longer.

Upright Posture & Core Tension

You probably know it: the longer the workday lasts, the lazier you usually become. In addition to your concentration, your sitting posture also suffers from tough, long workdays, as many people sink further and further into their office chairs over the hours. When you're almost horizontal by the end of the day, this unfortunately has serious effects on your joints and spine.

An ergonomic sitting and standing stool like the Deskspace Wobble prevents this unhealthy back posture. Due to the high mobility of the chair, it is almost impossible to hunch or adopt an unnatural sitting posture. Leaning back is also no longer possible due to the lack of a backrest, so your back is forced to always be in an upright position.

With our ergonomic sitting stool, you train your body to maintain an upright and healthy back posture throughout your entire workday, without even noticing it. In addition, your body has to compensate for the vibrations caused by the rubberized underside. The small, barely perceptible movements train the stabilizing muscles in your back and neck, which also benefits you in other sports and in everyday life!

The Wobble from Deskspace also offers the convenience of uncomplicated height adjustment. At the touch of a button, the sitting stool transforms into a standing stool or a comfortable option for leaning. Experience shows that rapid adjustment also helps you switch between standing and sitting more often in your daily work. Thanks to its rubberized underside, the Deskspace sitting and standing stool does not slip even on smooth surfaces.

Low Space Consumption

You probably know it: After weeks, you finally got around to thoroughly cleaning your office. However, since the room itself is quite small and you also have a large leather desk chair, this task becomes significantly more annoying than originally thought. Standard desk chairs take up a lot of space and cannot be easily moved from A to B quickly, which quickly becomes a problem, especially in small apartments.

An ergonomic sitting stool from Deskspace takes up hardly any space and, thanks to its weight of only eleven kilos, can also be easily carried away quickly. The low weight is particularly practical if you frequently have to change your office. The annoying assembly and disassembly and lugging around of a regular office chair would thus finally be a thing of the past.

Since we're on the subject of cleaning: Of course, the Deskspace Wobble can be cleaned quickly and easily. All surfaces of the stool can be simply wiped with a damp cloth; a upholstery cleaner can also be used for the seat.

Conclusion: This is why an ergonomic office stool makes sense

An ergonomic office stool ensures that you can work as naturally as possible. Especially on long and grueling workdays, "active" sitting improves your concentration and performance. The Deskspace Wobble also prevents back and neck problems due to its design, which would quickly lead to health problems, especially with office work.
