Sit better - The advantages of an ergonomic office stool
Many people underestimate the effects of an unhealthy sitting posture. What seems trivial in the first few weeks and months can become a major health problem. The consequences of sitting in the wrong chair range from simple back pain to long-term vertebral injuries. With an ergonomic office stool, you protect your back with a natural sitting position. We have briefly 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 arm supports. This concept forces the seated person to adopt an upright posture of their own accord. While one likes to "sink in" in classic office chairs, i.e. leaning backwards, 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 are no longer uncommon. From a "sitting time" of more than 4.5 hours a day, health consequences become more and more likely. Experts therefore recommend moving at least once every two hours, for example for a short walk.
The ergonomic office stool (partially) relieves you of these movement breaks. However, it is important that you decide in favor of a so-called 3D stool when you buy it, because only with it is permanent movement possible. For a better understanding, a brief explanation of what distinguishes such a model: The 3D sithocker can be moved in all directions. The seat can be rotated 360 degrees, and there is usually a semi-circular rubber surface on the underside, which creates a kind of "rubber ball effect".
A 3D stool from DESQUP ensures that your body stays in constant motion while you work. These micro-movements are mainly due to the fact that your torso and upper body have to compensate for the flexibility of the stool. This movement is hardly 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 look for when buying an office chair? Comfort is probably the most important or one of the most important characteristics, because almost 70 percent of buyers pay attention to it. But is that always the right decision?
There is no clear answer to this, because cosiness 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, cushions and neck pillows that are too soft can also make you tired and sluggish, which is then reflected in your concentration.
The ergonomic stool from DESQUP promotes active and sustainable sitting, because the small micro-movements permanently stimulate your brain with oxygen. The result of this is an improved ability to concentrate, which is noticeable after just a few days of use. Since you always sit in an upright position, the lymphatic system is relieved and you can focus on a specific job for longer.
Upright posture & body tension
You probably know it: the longer the working day lasts, the more sluggish you usually become. In addition to your concentration, your sitting posture also suffers from tough, long working days, because many people sink more and more into their office chair as the hours go by. Unfortunately, when you're almost level at the end of the day, it has a bad effect on your joints and spine.
An ergonomic sitting and standing stool like the DESQUP Wobble prevents this unhealthy back posture. Due to the high mobility of the chair, it is almost impossible to form a hunchback or adopt an unnatural sitting position. Leaning back is also no longer possible due to the missing seat back, so your back is always forced to be in an upright position.
With our ergonomic stool, you can train your body to maintain an upright and healthy back posture throughout your working hours, without even noticing it. In addition, your body has to compensate for the vibrations caused by the rubberized underside. The small, hardly noticeable movements train the stabilization muscles in the back and neck, which also benefits you in other sports and in everyday life!
The DESQUP Wobble also offers the convenience of uncomplicated height adjustment. At the push of a button, the stool transforms into a standing stool or a comfortable place to lean against. Experience has shown that the quick adjustment also means that you switch between standing and sitting more often in everyday work. Thanks to its rubberized underside, the desqup sitting and standing stool does not slip, even on smooth surfaces.
Small footprint
You probably know it: After weeks, you finally made up your mind to give your study a thorough cleaning. However, since the room itself is quite small and you also have a large leather desk chair, this action becomes much more annoying than originally thought. Standard desk chairs take up a lot of space and cannot be transported quickly from A to B, which quickly becomes a problem, especially in small apartments.
An ergonomic stool from desqup takes up hardly any space and, thanks to its weight of only eleven kilos, can also be carried away quickly and easily. The low weight is particularly practical if you have to change offices frequently. The annoying assembly and disassembly and lugging around a regular office chair are finally a thing of the past.
Since we are already on the topic of cleaning: Of course, the DESQUP Wobble can be cleaned easily and quickly. You can simply wipe all surfaces of the stool with a damp cloth, you can also use an upholstery cleaner for the seat.
Conclusion: That's why an ergonomic office stool makes sense
An ergonomic office stool ensures that you can work as naturally as possible. “Active” sitting improves your concentration and performance, especially on long and grueling working days. Thanks to its design, the DESQUP Wobble also prevents back and neck problems, which would quickly lead to health problems, especially in office work.
