Promising review: "I just assembled this before work, in less than 15 minutes, and have been using it all day. I am VERY pleased with it. It rises and lowers so easily and smoothly and there is plenty of room for my two monitors. The keyboard and mouse fit comfortably on the keyboard tray... Sitting at my desk all day was starting to really hurt my back and shoulders so this was necessary for me. I feel more productive and energized just from standing while I work!" —lauren

Electronic devices emit a lot of blue light, which your eyes do a terrible job of blocking. Over time, blue light may strain your eyes and lead to macular degeneration, the leading cause of vision loss. Computer glasses that filter blue light can help reduce the amount of blue light you're exposed to, plus you don't need a prescription to wear them and they work even if you're already wearing contacts.
Promising review: "I work on a computer all day, and when I'm not on my computer I'm on my phone. Blue light is a very real threat to my eyeballs, which are already sensitive just by nature of belonging to me. I've long suffered headaches, migraines, and general ocular strain. I always prefer to wear my contacts during the day, so I didn't want to throw down some mad skrilla on a pair of prescription blue light–filtering specs... They work great, though it takes a minute for my eyes to adjust to the amber hues... My eyes are definitely happier, as is my head." —Christen Moynihan

Promising review: "I bought this mouse because I have wrist and lower arm pain. I can't actively use any regular mouse more than one hour at a time without getting some pain... It's comfortable, and this is the most important thing, because so far I can use it for hours and don't have any pains. The wrist isn't twisted like on a regular mouse and I can feel this, for the better. Took me under a day to get adjusted to this angle. An interesting thing about this design is that you feel more inclined to use your whole arm to make mouse movements, which is a good thing, since doing so puts less stress on the wrist." —Dan

Promising review: "I am a student and spend 5+ hours a day studying at home. Sitting down for that long was giving me a lot of back and shoulder pain. The shoulder pain got so bad that I even started getting headaches. This back support cushion has been a lifesaver! I LOVE this thing. I noticed an immediate change in my back and shoulder pain. Furthermore, I drive over an hour to work and use this back cushion in my car to avoid shoulder tension." —A

This Microsoft ergonomic keyboard is a split keyboard, meaning the keys are separated into groups to allow you to type at a more natural angle.
Promising review: "I was diagnosed with carpal tunnel, very mild, when I started losing feeling in my thumb, index, and middle finger of both hands. Felt the numbness for weeks or longer and it is very distracting when your entire job is typing emails, contracts, etc. But literally within 30 minutes or so of using this keyboard — the only one that has this unique shape, apparently — the feeling RETURNS and you feel completely normal again." —TMC

Promising review: "I love how inexpensive this mouse pad is for what you get out of it. It has absolutely save my wrists from working all day at a computer. I didn't want a mouse pad that was covered in cloth because the cloth tends to wear down and look bad, but so far the cloth on this still looks perfect after months of use. The bottom of the pad clings to my desk and does not move or slide around. Highly recommend." —E. McKillip

Promising review: "I have had terrible luck with the type of keyboard drawers that need to be screwed into the bottom of a desk. Then I found this Mount-It! keyboard drawer that didn't need screws at all! I wasn't sure what to think, but figured it was worth a try. It took literally three minutes to install and voila — I had a sturdy keyboard drawer! It has a rounded edge which is really comfortable for resting your wrists and there is also plenty of room for a mouse." —Linda

Promising review: "First and foremost, you will probably need two of these. I spend a lot of time on my computer and after awhile my back started hurting. I initially bought one and I noticed my body was tilting and resting on the elbow with the armrest. So I ordered a second and now I can rest my back on my chair and both elbows and arms fully rest on it. My back and body no longer hurts. Fantastic!!" —Tope Olutola

Each pad is 9.5 inches wide, 4.5 inches long, and 1.5 inches high, and fits armrests between 6 and 11 inches.
Promising review: "I started getting elbow pain a few months ago and thought it was due to me commuting by bicycle every day. My brother told me it could be my armrests of the chairs I sit in because he had the same pain and these Aloudy [armrest pads] made his pain go away. I ordered them straightaway, installed then on my Aeron chair and was blown away with how much more comfortable my elbows felt." —Joseph

Promising review: "This board is so comfortable and allows me to stand without pain for hours! I cannot wait to move into my new work space with my stand up desk. As well if you have a fit bit or exercise tracker, it will also count those swaying movements." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "Easy to assemble, easy to install. Currently saving my neck, literally. It is amazing what an elevated and clear of clutter workspace can do... The elevation of the monitors, their increased distance from the edge of my desk (and thus my eyes) and the enormous amount of space I now have on the desk surface are making an incredible difference." —Lorri Rhea

Promising review: "Ideal for long hours in the office. My legs and groin muscles used to ache after a long day. I think the backs of my upper legs were pressing too hard into the chair seat pan. This foot riser has alleviated that pain. I also enjoy rocking my feet back and forth during the day to keep circulation going." —D. Martin

Promising review: "I bought this along with the Dreamer Car Coccyx Seat Cushion Chair Pad-Premium Memory Foam for my wife, who drives an average of 80 miles a day as part of her job. She was suffering from back and hip pain as a result of the 'standard' seat of her 2009 car. Well, now that she has these two items, she's so happy with them, she takes them in the house and attaches them to her office chair while working on reports. Definitely a happy customer." —J. M.

Promising review: "Bought this to help my posture at my 15" laptop. I was tired of hunching over my screen, which sits lower on my desk causing me to always look down and slouch... I'd recommend this to anyone with a lower-set desk and a long back and who struggles with back, neck, and muscle pain at your laptop." —TigerWyngz

Promising review: "I am in good shape but after 10 years of sitting at a desk 10+ hours a day, my posture had deteriorated to a point where it was causing me a lot of pain, discomfort, and embarrassment. This device truly helped me to kick my bad posture habit. I keep this device in training mode all day because it reminds with a little vibration to straighten up every time I slouch. This is exactly what I needed! The first day I wore this device I was surprised to learn how often I was slouching and I admit it was really hard to maintain good posture all day. With time it has become easier and I am now more self-aware. I am proud to say my posture has significantly improved with this device. The app is super cool and intuitive; this is just a well thought out product." —Chris

Promising review: "I been suffering from upper back pain since I got this new job. I constantly sit in front of a computer and I keep slouching. This posture corrector really helps keep my back straight, thus relieving my back pain. It took me a few days to get used to it but otherwise I love it and I’ll keep using it until my body learns to sit straight. Definitely recommend it." —YasmelyTV

Promising review: "This chair has the tilted seat, which you need to truly benefit from a kneeling style chair. It is also adjustable both on the seat height [and] on the knee height making it highly customizable for people short and tall. I have chronic hip and lower back pain despite being young and healthy and this has saved me when I need to sit and work at the computer. I have a standing desk with a balance board as well but you can't stand all day or for some kinds of work, so this chair has been great." —Jaime Bauer

Promising review: "I like that this chair makes my lower back feel good. It supports my lumbar so nicely, helps out my disk bulge, and I have a lot less back pain. The mesh is great because it does not retain heat, and I sit down for more than 10 hours at a time in front of my computers, so I don't overheat... Overall great chair and probably my last chair for a very long time." —The human

Promising review: "Bought this mat to place at my standing desk at work. I was having some lower back and hip discomfort so thought I’d try an anti-fatigue mat. It has worked beautifully!! I stand all day.. 9–10 hours and this has helped beyond my expectations." —Sunrise

Promising review: "I have to sit for nine hours a day, so this is nice to change things up a bit and engage my lower back more. It requires active sitting, so your feet and back will be moving around. Between this, a kneeling chair, and standing up at my desk, I can make it to the end of the day without back pain." —D
