1. An adjustable standing desk converter, because we all know sitting for hours straight is terrible for our health. With this, you can easily take standing breaks throughout the day while still working, and when you're sitting, it functions as a regular monitor stand so you can set your screen at eye level.
Promising review: "It is a lifesaver. If you can't fit or afford a full sit-stand desk, this unit has been going up and down a few times a day for 6 months strong. Also if you think you will be standing for more than a couple of hours a day, I assure you no. That's why the manual system is great — whenever you are tired, just grab the handle and place it down quick, it doesn't require thinking or waiting." —Dave
Get it from Amazon for $114.99+ (available in five sizes and three colors).
2. Or a FlexiSpot electric standing desk if you're ready to go all-in on that sit-to-stand life. With just the push of a button, it'll raise itself up — and since you can save up to four preset heights, you can literally hit the button, walk away to get a coffee refill, and come back to your desk all ready to go for a standing work sesh.
I have a FlexiSpot electric standing desk at home (this one, specifically) and love it — it's a great brand, and mine hasn't given me any issues over the past few years.
Promising reviews: "This desk is a lifesaver. It's sleek, solid, and lifts and lowers with ease. It will be the perfect addition to your workspace." —Rebecca Jeanette
"After assembling it, I am thrilled I chose this desk. With a press of a button, I can raise and lower it to appropriate heights for either comfortably sitting or standing (I'm 5'10"). The material itself is very sturdy. There are NO drawers, which, after 20 years of having the other home desk and having desks at work, I realized that drawers do nothing more than collect and store junk. Can't do that with this desk as this desk encourages minimalism and storing that junk somewhere else." —David Taylor
Get it from Amazon for $194.39+ (available in five sizes and many styles).
3. And a mini stepper that'll be a game changer, especially if a standing desk is already part of your WFH setup. It comes with resistance bands you can use to make it more of a full-body workout, but you can detach those to just use the stepping function and incorporate some exercise into your busy day! Multitasking, we love you.
Bonus: It doesn't take up much space at all and can be stashed right underneath your desk, so it's not an eyesore like most workout equipment!
Get a look at it on TikTok as part of a WFH standing desk setup!
Promising review: "Having a limited space for my home gym, this thing is an INCREDIBLE addition!! I work from home and having the ability to hop on this thing regularly throughout the day is a lifesaver. The quality is top-notch, no issues whatsoever in the 3 months I’ve had it. Not having the room (in both my space and budget) for a treadmill, having cardio equipment that allows for a natural standing, upright position is critical for keeping my back healthy. The workout you get is also great for any and all fitness levels." —Brent Williams
Get it from Amazon for $62.99.
4. Or a compact under-desk electric treadmill for folks who want to incorporate even more movement into their sedentary schedule. It has an LED display that shows basic metrics like time, speed, and distance; a quiet motor (so you can focus on the work in front of you); and Bluetooth capability so you can even play music or a podcast through it.
See it in action in this TikTok! Its speed range is 0.5–6mph and its weight capacity is 220 pounds.
Promising review: "Easy setup, good quality, easy to move. I’ve been using this under my desk in my home office for roughly 8 weeks now and it’s been a lifesaver! Now I can get my steps in while I’m answering emails and sitting in Teams meetings. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a budget-friendly option." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $289.99+ (available in four colors).
5. An affordable 24-inch monitor in case working off just your laptop isn't cutting it anymore. It'll give you a much larger workspace and the ability to drag windows seamlessly between your connected laptop and monitor. Plus, you'll feel more comfortable when you're not crouching over your MacBook every day.
It features a 75Hz refresh rate with 1080p resolution, making it suitable for casual gaming too. It has two HDMI ports — be sure to pick up a USB-C hub if you're planning to connect a MacBook.
Promising reviews: "Bought the largest screen offered and have been using it to work from home for over a month. It has been perfect for my needs and probably will ruin me if I ever go back to an office. This screen saved my life." —V.G.
"Just set this monitor up, and so far it’s earned all 5 stars! It was easy to assemble, it’s compatible with my MacBook Pro (with a USB-C adapter), and the picture is great! I just wanted another monitor for when I work from home, so having something available that was affordable like this was perfect for what I needed." —Allison H.
Get it from Amazon for $94.97.
6. A slim laptop stand to raise your laptop and bring it closer to eye level, especially handy if you use it with a desktop monitor. This is better for the overall ergonomics of your setup, but it also ensures your laptop gets ventilation and doesn't overheat.
This stand fits any laptop from 10–15.6 inches and can be easily disassembled into three parts for easy transportation.
Promising review: "Lifesaver ❤️ I had a deep turtle neck before using this laptop stand, and no more after using this item. This laptop stand saved my life. I cannot work without it. Thank you." —Andrew Ko
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in 10 colors).
7. A high-back ergonomic mesh chair that *doesn't* cost hundreds of dollars — because maybe one day I'll be able to afford a Herman Miller chair, but today is not that day. This affordable alternative reclines up to 135 degrees, has a FOOTREST, and comes in the *cutest* light green shade (as well as neutral options).
Check out this TikTok where one reviewer talks about finding this as a swap for a similar $600 version!
Promising review: "Please do not hesitate. Oh, what a lifesaver! Working remotely has put my body through hell. This chair feels like good natural medicine flowing through my lower back, making it easier for me to stand and walk without being stiff and in pain from my old chair, after sitting. The price point is perfect too!!!" —Ms. E.
Get it from Amazon for $99.49+ (available in two colors).
8. A set of stackable clear drawer organizers for organizing the chaos inside your desk drawers and keeping your pens separate from your sticky notes. Because digging around to find the specific thing you're looking for only makes things messier!
In the six-piece set you'll get two 3"x3" bins, two 6"x3" bins, and two 9"x3" bins.
Promising review: "These are life saving for clutter. My bathroom vanity drawer has always been a mess and I can never find what I need. This product is amazingly perfect so much so I bought a second set for one of the drawers in the kitchen." —Gentles Lewis
Get a six-piece set from Amazon for $13.49 (also available in an 18-piece set).
9. A memory foam lumbar pillow you can strap onto practically any chair for instant lower back support, simply a MUST if you work long hours at a desk — or if you drive long hours, since you can use this in a vehicle, too! The mesh cover also keeps this pillow breathable so it doesn't get hot over time.
I've had this exact lumbar support pillow since 2018, back when I was still working in an office, and I can't express enough how much it's improved my posture and reduced back pain after long hours of sitting. I initially got it because I was stuck working in one of those awful office chairs with zero lower back support, and years later, I still use it at home. It fills the curve of your spine *perfectly*, and you can adjust the positioning as needed, with straps that go around the back of your chair to hold it steady. I personally use it in conjunction with an ErgoFoam footrest, and I never have back pain after working anymore.
Promising review: "Saved my life. I bought this for work and it’s been so incredibly comfortable for my back, especially since I’m a petite and short person, I can’t sit against the chair or else my legs will be strained. Now I can lean and sit up straight without difficulty. If you’re short I would recommend getting this + a footrest." —Aja
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in six colors).
10. And a memory foam chair cushion (yup, from the same brand) designed to relieve pressure on your tailbone, hips, and lower back while sitting for long periods of time — reviewers say it's worked wonders for their aches and pains. Basically, it's the best thing you'll do for your tushy all year.
The cover is removable and washable!
Promising review: "Let me telI you something, the relief I got from sitting on this cushion almost had me in tears. I’m not sure what happened to my lower back that every time I sit ANYWHERE, my tailbone hurts. It was uncomfortable for me to sit down on any chair (even when I drive). I couldn’t get any work done. I was doing work laying down...that’s how uncomfortable it was for me to sit down. When I first saw this product I was skeptical. I thought it was an overpriced pillow. I just got it and I quickly opened it up and set it up on the hardest and flattest chair I have in my house. Guess what? No pain. The reason I’m able to write such a long review is because I’m sitting on the cushion right now! This is amazing. Thank you so much for this life saving product!!" —Carl Jimenez
Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in six colors and two styles).
11. Plus, an adjustable foam footrest for placing under your desk, giving your feet a soft yet firm support. It essentially brings the floor to you, extremely helpful if you're on the shorter side and your feet don't easily lay flat on the floor! And if you tend to get restless throughout the day, you can flip it over and rock back and forth.
I've been using this particular footrest for a long time now, and I can say I didn't realize how uncomfortable I was while sitting until I had this. I'm 5'3" and use the full height of this footrest to ensure my feet are completely supported, but you can remove the bottom part to adjust the height if needed. The velvety cover also comes off and can be tossed in the washing machine for easy cleaning.
Promising review: "I am working from home now and this has been a lifesaver for my back. I am in socks and this product is soft and comfy on my feet." —Carolyn Dempsey
Get it from Amazon for $39.95+ (available in mesh or velvet, and three colors).
12. A six-outlet wall charger and surge protector, which doubles as a night-light with a dusk-to-dawn sensor — it automatically turns on when ambient light in the area isn't enough to see. It's designed to handle those annoyingly bulky chargers, PLUS it has two USB fast-charging ports, meaning you can finally put an end to your daily routine of plugging and unplugging things underneath your desk.
Promising review: "Love this surge protector/wall charger! It makes it easy to connect multiple devices without blocking or eliminating a port. This has been a lifesaver at my home office. Also, the light has different brightness modes, which is very nice. Highly recommend this!" —Rene O.
Get it from Amazon for $17.97.
13. Or an ultra-thin socket cover with an attached power strip. The cover lays flat against the wall so you can avoid awkwardly bumping into it and actually push your desk up against the wall. It also looks *much* cleaner and is easier to hide while still giving you access to several outlets for your devices!
Sleek Socket is a small biz focused on sleek power outlet solutions for the home!
Promising review: "I have a velvet lounge chair that sits up against the wall and covers an outlet. Every time we need to plug our phones, vacuum, laptops, or anything, I would have to move the chair to ensure the cord/plug doesn’t ruin the material. This outlet cover was a lifesaver! Lays perfectly flush up against the wall with the added befit of a third available plug, and sits neatly under my lounge. Love this product!" —lisa ledoux
Get it from Amazon for $23.95+ (available in two lengths and a variety of styles, including surge protectors and dual power strips).
14. A desktop whiteboard designed to fit in that lil' space between your monitor and keyboard for writing quick notes, ideas, or even motivational messages for yourself. A little pull-out drawer holds your dry-erase markers and other small accessories!
This whiteboard also comes with a dry-erase marker, an accessory channel (to hold the marker), and a storage drawer.
Promising review: "When working from home, this was a lifesaver! I saved paper by jotting down reminders, notes, and to-do lists that stayed in sight, and therefore, on my mind. I no longer work remotely, but this continues to be useful for home life reminders, such as bill payments, shopping lists, and the next shows to binge, LOL. I use the marker that came with it, as well as markers from other brands, such as Expo." —D. Williams
Get it from Amazon for $32.49+ (available in five styles).
15. A pack of adhesive cable clips capable of straightening out that mess of cords tangled behind your computer that you've been trying very hard not to think about.
Promising review: "Absolutely love these cable clips. I have used them around my desk for holding charger cables so they don’t continuously fall. It has also been great with holding up to four charging cables for charging all my children’s school tablets. This has been a lifesaver with keeping these organized amongst all the chaos right now. Highly recommend." —Leighann R.
Get a six-pack from Amazon for $6.97.
16. And brilliant cable raceways that attach adhesively behind your desk so you don't have a bunch of cords just hanging down beneath — these slim raceways allow you to direct the cables toward your power source while completely hidden from view so you can basically forget they're there when you sit down to work.
Promising review: "For anyone with cable clutter, this is a god-sent solution. You can even stick it if you're mounting it to a wall. These days everything is electric and there are just too many wires in my house. I can used this to make everything look clean again. I love how my house looks now. Lifesaver!" —David Rizk
Get a pack of six from Amazon for $17.98+ (available in three sizes and three colors).
17. A memory foam gel pad to provide ergonomic support for your wrists and avoid the aches and pains that come with typing at a computer all day. Seriously, once you get wrist pads, there's no going back.
It comes in two pieces — one you can prop in front of your keyboard, and the other in front of your mouse.
Promising review: "Being that I have carpal tunnel, the pain in my wrist and arm was becoming unbearable. I ordered these while working from home and these have been lifesavers. The pain has subsided and I wish I’d purchased these sooner. Excellent purchase and highly recommended!" —BlessedMomma
Get it from Amazon for $11.59 (available in 14 styles).
18. An anti-fatigue mat because if you've incorporated standing breaks into your day, you'll notice that it puts a lot of pressure on your feet and legs. This mat's high-density PU foam helps absorb the shock you'd normally feel in your muscles and joints from standing — that way, you can feel comfortable standing for longer!
This is one of the last things that's been missing in my own WFH ergonomic setup, and TBH this was the final push I needed to finally purchase one for myself! Because standing barefoot on my hardwood floor for any lengthy period of time is *not* the greatest feeling. That said, you can wear this with shoes on, too, if you're at the office! It's designed to wipe clean.
Promising review: "This mat has been a lifesaver with my standing desk. It has a nice cushion in depth and has enough width to allow for some movement. It stays in place when I need it too, and while it is a bit difficult to clean, it's a great overall mat for my needs. I liked it enough I bought a second one when we returned to the office!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $20.49+ (available in four sizes and in 15 styles).
19. A cordless Logitech vertical ergonomic mouse instead of struggling with a laptop trackpad. Reviewers with carpel tunnel, arthritis, and other kinds of hand pain or mobility issues say has brought them relief while working at the computer. The vertical design helps relax your wrist and promotes a more natural hand position while you work.
This cordless mouse is recommended for small- to medium-sized hands — if you have large hands, Logitech recommends the MX vertical mouse! Get a closer look at this mouse on TikTok, where the reviewer talks about how much more comfortable they find using it compared to a traditional mouse.
Promising reviews: "I have carpal tunnel so this mouse is a lifesaver. I've been using an ergo mouse for a few years and will NOT go back to the traditional style. This is a wonderful small investment that makes a huge impact on my life! EEEEEK THANK YOOOU." —Barbie Larrinaga
"This mouse is perfect for smaller hands, or people who have any kind of hand pain. I find this extremely comfortable. The buttons on the mouse are very easy to push, and they’re quiet. If you have any arthritis or discomfort in your hand, this is perfect!" —Jaye Hockenberry
Get it from Amazon for $64.99+ (available in three colors, and left- or right-handed styles).
20. A colorful desk mat that's waterproof so your desk will be protected when you accidentally knock over your drink or spill some cereal while working (oops). It doubles as a mousepad *and* helps tie your entire aesthetic together if you have a color scheme!
21. An adhesive monitor clip for holding larger papers and keeping them organized. This handy clip can hold up to 30 sheets at once so you can easily reference while typing, especially handy for note-taking and data entry.
Promising reviews: "This has been a lifesaver for my eyes!" —Robin OConnor
"I love this product. I always buy one when I move into a new office. It’s basic, but it works. Clip adheres very well to my computer monitor when both surfaces are clean and dry. Use some rubbing alcohol to clean both services before trying to adhere it. I like this document clip because it helps me be more productive. I also use it to hold papers that need my immediate attention if I am not doing data entry. In summary, I’ve purchased this product many times for a reason. It does the job with no frills and it’s a great value!" —Cassidy
Get it from Amazon for $8.15.
22. A USB-powered cooling pad if you're working on an older laptop that starts to sound like a jet engine after a while. This slim pad connects directly into one of your laptop's USB ports and uses its three powerful fans to keep it cool and quiet. It'll also protect your legs if you like to work with your laptop directly on your lap!
I've had this cooling pad since 2018, though I mainly use it with my personal laptop when I'm playing PC games. The pad itself is super quiet and not distracting, and it does a fantastic job of actively cooling down my now-older laptop while it's working hard to run games, so I can vouch for its effectiveness. It's also *fantastic* to use while you're working with your laptop on the couch, keeping your legs away from the heat without feeling bulky or heavy. If you're using a MacBook, be sure to pick up a USB-C hub to connect this (I've used this one for years and like it!).
Promising review: "My MacBook Pro has been a nightmare to work on this summer. After working for about 4 hours, the keyboard is jumpy. Loading tabs, websites, and programs take forever because it heats up as the day progresses. I realized the heat was mostly the issue after placing ice packs and frozen peas under the laptop to cool it down. I purchased this cooling pad, and the difference is amazing! No more frozen peas! It is running like new again. Whoop!! Lifesaver, I am sure that the laptop is a lot happier too. :)" —Liz
Get it from Amazon for $22.39+ (available in three colors).
23. An electric mug warmer to keep your coffee — the lifeblood that fuels your mornings — hot so you're not unpleasantly sipping on room-temp brown water by 10 a.m. With this electric warmer, you'll be able to happily enjoy your caffeinated drink at the perfect temp for hours.
Reviewers suggest turning the heat down from high to medium once the drink gets down to about the halfway point so it stays a comfortable temperature!
I can vouch for this mug warmer: It not only looks good, but works great for keeping my coffee warm all day long (because yes, I'm one of those people that'll sip on coffee until 5 p.m., all right!!). I was kind of worried it'd be too small for some of my larger mugs, but the center plate is bigger than expected and accommodated every mug in my (very eclectic) collection perfectly. I can confirm that flat-bottomed mugs are the best option for use with this warmer as they do stay hotter, but it still keeps my concave-bottom mugs warm enough for my taste. Also, I looove how sleek the white version looks on my white desk, and the auto-shutoff function is a nice safety feature as an absent-minded person.
Promising review: "This product is part of my answer to coffee or tea which goes forgotten while I get smacked with a call or Zoom or projects or scheduling, which always seems to happen just as I'm pouring a hot cup. A lifesaver, especially for working from home." —E. Johnson
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in seven styles).
24. An ergonomic exercise ball chair designed to engage both your body and mind using micro-movements, helping boost your focus while reducing pressure on your lower back and shoulders.
It's recommended for people ranging from 5' to 5'11" tall. If you have a tall desk that isn't adjustable and you find this chair a bit too low to the ground, you can pick up leg extenders to add extra height.
Promising review: "I bought this chair to relieve my third trimester rib pain from trying to sit at my desk and work all day. It has been a lifesaver! If you are pregnant and still trying to work at a desk you need this in your life! It lets me sit different ways and stretch my hips and ribs while having more stability and a back rest than just a traditional balance ball. If I need to stretch out more I can pull the ball out of the chair and use it that way too!" —Amanda Mason
Get it from Amazon for $69.98+ (available in four colors).
25. Or a kneeling chair with an innovative design that can help you sit up straight (because most of us who sit all day have *terrible* posture), and it also alleviates pressure on your back and hips, since it distributes your weight evenly while keeping your spine aligned.
Remember to also stand up every hour or so to give yourself a break from sitting! And the brand recommends acclimating yourself to it slowly since you'll be using different muscles in a kneeling chair than you normally would in your traditional office chair.
Promising review: "This chair was a lifesaver. I work from home and spend most of my day at a desk, I was having some pretty decent lower back pain from my chair and noticed my posture suffering. I started looking for a better option and found this chair. It took about a week to get used to and for my core muscles to adjust but even during that time I noticed it was more muscle soreness as opposed to spinal pain. Now I absolutely love it!" —C & J
Get it from Amazon for $99.99 (available in three colors).
26. A transparent monitor attachment if sticky notes are currently taking over your desk — with this, you can keep them organized and neatly visible next to your monitor for easy reference! It has a built-in stand at the bottom for holding your phone with a hole for a charger to pass through.
Each of the attachments has a sticky film that's strong enough to adhere to your monitor, but easy enough to remove that it won't damage it.
Promising reviews: "This product is a lifesaver if you need lots of reminders. I love it." —Linda Joy Rumph
"I have 568 stickies on any given day and this is exactly what I needed to keep myself organized. It came packaged nicely, no cracks or scratches, and was easy to adhere to. The adhesive is awesome. It's not going anywhere!!! I recommend this to anyone like me who needs a cool place for their notes. You will be the envy of your coworkers!" —Mason's Mom
Get it from Amazon for $8.99.
27. A game-changing hanging wall organizer you can hang just to the side of your desk for organizing all your papers into color-coded sections — the colored folders are slightly transparent so you can see what's inside.
Each folder can hold up to 25 sheets and the whole thing can be collapsed and secured with the attached cord for easy transport — which is *so* convenient if you're working a hybrid office-WFH schedule. It even comes with blank stickers for labeling the tabs. (Check out our Smead wall organizer deep dive for more deets on how helpful it is!)
Promising review: "Wow! What an absolute lifesaver! This wall organizer is perfect in my very limited office space! I bought it because I don't have much room and I hate an unorganized office which was beginning to happen. I found this and thought it was adorable (I love the colors). I hung it on my wall, filled it with papers, looks great, and saves a lot of desk space! I think I'm going to buy a couple more! LOVE IT!" —Kari
Get it from Amazon for $10+ (available in four colors).
28. Floating bookshelves if there's a mountain of books cluttering up your home office. These clever shelves make it look like the books are just floating there in place! You can mount books on one of the nearby walls, letting them double as decor while freeing up your desk space.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Kayla Boyd loves her floating bookshelves: "They save a lot of space and since I colorized them, they look like fun decor in my room. It definitely helps me get excited about reading more since they're so cute and visible. The shelves were also super easy to hang and they're very sturdy."
Promising review: "Sturdy, easy to install, and a lifesaver. I am one of those folks with object permanence issues — if I can't see it, I'm liable to forget it's there, so it helps me to have things out where I can see them. These shelves are easy to install, look cool, and clear up so much desk space while I'm working on several articles or research projects at once. Yeah, the large shelves are a bit too big for most covers to catch and create the invisible/floating effect, but that doesn't bother me. The hardware that came with the shelves worked well on my plaster walls — just needed a drill, a pencil, and a level." —Sara Potter
Get them from Amazon for $16.74+ (available individually or in a set of three, and two sizes).
29. Prismatic window film to cover the windows by your desk and let the sun cast gorgeous rainbows across your workspace and around the room because surrounding yourself with a bit of natural beauty can be inspiring. Plus, it adds a lil' extra privacy as well.
Promising review: "I love this so much. The only part that was difficult was cutting it correctly. Besides that, this is amazing. I live in a townhouse so there’s literally zero privacy as soon as I open my blinds. Not anymore! I work from home, so I’m home all the time and this is a lifesaver. Also, I’m no longer the naked window neighbor! LMFAO! I need more of this stuff ASAP!" —Jessica
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in 11 sizes).
30. A charging station dock and organizer for keeping your tech gadgets in one area of your desk while charging them at the same time (thanks to cleverly placed holes at the back and sides — built-in cable management!). You can stash your closed laptop in this when the work day is over, plus any tablets or phones you keep at your desk.
Great Useful Stuff is a small biz based in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Promising reviews: "Awesome product! I was looking for a way to keep all our tech stuff off my kitchen counter, this was it! It has been a lifesaver — keeps our items charged and in one spot!" —Amazon Customer
"It is so simple. It required no setup and the magnets that hold the bottom compartment on are strong. I literally did zero work for this product to help me out so much in my everyday life. It clears up my desk clutter and charges my electronics. Plus, it looks and feels quality for the price without paying a huge amount for such a simple concept. I use an iPad air, an iPhone 6s, and an iPhone 7. Because I work from home, my work and personal electronics have to mix but stay organized. This holds them all." —Rachel R
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in four colors and with or without USB ports).
31. Some adjustable shelves to house both your office supplies and decor and help you tidy up that cluttered desk. It's instant organization that you get to appreciate visually every single day, and the adjustability means you can always switch up your setup to keep things fresh!
The shelves come in two separate parts that can be arranged close together or spread further apart, depending on what you need! Some reviewers even picked up several of these to build a bigger shelving unit on their desk [pictured above right].
Promising reviews: "This organizer is a lifesaver. Made my desk less cluttered looking and works great!" —Elizabeth
"Absolutely love this shelving. I’ve been working from home since the pandemic hit and I went from a huge office to a nook in the corner of our sitting room with no shelving or filing cabinets. The clutter on my desk was driving me nuts. Finally found what I was looking for: a place for my little knickknacks and pictures and my notepads/mail/important papers. Building it was pretty easy, although I did need to turn a piece around, but took less than 15 to put together. Makes my organizing heart happy." —bdeleone
Get them from Amazon for $25.99 (available in six colors).
32. A compact heated massager you can strap onto your desk chair anytime your aching lower back or shoulders could use some sweet, sweet relief. Its rotating nodes will deliver a heated deep tissue massage so you can release some of that stress that comes from sitting all day and back-to-back meetings.
Promising review: "I sit at a desk all day and this saves my life every day at work! All my co-workers ask to borrow it. The heat and the moving massage balls feel so amazing! I used to have to go to get a 90-minute massage twice a week, and this really helped my knots so much I only have to go get a massage once every other week now." —itsaroseylife111
Get it from Amazon for $57.95+ (available in four colors).
33. A set of memory foam armrest pads — being conscious of the position your arms are in while sitting is important, and while they *should* be resting on your armrests (so your shoulders can relax), that hard plastic can cause soreness. These'll conform to your elbow and arm to relieve pressure while you work!
Promising review: "These are a lifesaver. I was getting annoying rub marks from my arm rests. These have halted that, and the foam is so comfortable! I’ve had them for a few weeks now, and there is no sign of the foam compressing." —Ashley Williams
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $18.99 (also available in gray).
34. A compact, TikTok-famous rolling desk bike so you can feel *extra* productive as you tackle the day's tasks by incorporating some lower body movement into your routine. If you tend to get restless legs while working and standing breaks aren't helping, cycling can help you feel better and more focused as you work.
This compact, rolling desk bike is also height adjustable so you can get your perfect fit with the tray, and has "whisper quiet" pedaling, eight resistance levels, and a way to track your mileage, rpm, and other stats.
Psst — you can watch the viral desk bike TikTok featuring it for more insight on how it works.
Promising review: "I honestly want to rip the seat off and put it on my own bicycle because of how comfortable it is. It's a plushy seat that adds tons of comfort and support. I LOVE how easy and self-explanatory the bike is, as well as PORTABLE. The wheels make it super easy to move. The desk is a dream come true — nice and spacious and I love the plushy armrest that sits along the edge. If I could give this product 100 STARS I would! For the amount of HOURS I am sitting down at a computer a day, this has been an absolute LIFESAVER and I highly recommend this to anyone wishing they could not only be more active, but who wishes to have better posture while working at their computer." —Alexa Chalnick

35. A pair of blue light–blocking glasses, because we all stare enough at our phone screens as it is without adding another eight hours of staring at our computer. These lenses protect you from blue light that can cause eye strain and headaches and even mess up your sleep cycle.
Promising reviews: "I love them! Super lightweight on my face and help so much with glare! I would get migraines all the time but these glasses are a lifesaver!" —Allie Bouziga
"I honestly can't say enough great things about these glasses. They are cute and for an unbeatable price. The anti-glare isn't bad and they are thick and feel sturdy. Very comfortable to wear and definitely help during the day when you are sitting on the computer and want to give your eyes a rest. I used to get terrible headaches and dry eyes from sitting in front of the computer all day for long hours and this has significantly reduced that. I no longer get headaches as much and my eyes don't feel nearly as dry because I'm not straining them as much." —Jessica Kravitz
