The Comfort Of Working From Home

Many that know me, know I worked from home for an outsourced call centre previously and also self-employed so I got the comfort of working from home… twice.

I have my very own office with my furniture I chose that is comfortable for me and also to my taste.

Having back problems as well as Fibro, I have to make sure I have plenty of support from my desk chair an also a desk at the right height with plenty of room for me and my junk. This made my decision when I was considering working from home vs working in an office.

Yes, my desk is of course filled with my bits and bobs.

The Comfort Of Working From Home

I used to work in an office and I struggled a lot with the desk height and the chairs, they were not exactly comfortable and this contributed to my back pain. So when I was able to have the comfort of working from home, choosing my own chair, desk and things around me to help, it started to help!

My desk never left like mine as we had to move around frequently and couldn’t leave anything personal around which meant I had to carry it in my handbag.

Since I went to working from home, I have never felt so comfortable ever. But I also created a calm home office where I feel relaxed and not tense, which really helps also.

I bought myself a nice black desk, drawers and a comfortable chair (I spent a while testing the chairs to make sure they were comfortable and perfect for me)

I can leave all of my hand creams, lip balms, cuddly toys off my children and not worry about carrying them around in my handbag weighing it down.

It’s personalised to suit me, with the wonderful wax burner that I use every day I am in there.

Now, working from home you have to keep yourself active and make sure you are staying healthy at your desk.

Drink plenty of water especially if you are constantly talking.

Avoid a lot of caffeine.

Do simple desk exercises #Deskercise

Stretch your legs often, stand up and have a little walk around.

Also, keep your eyes healthy by having regular eye check-ups and regular breaks from looking at the screen.

Make sure your lighting is altered to what feels comfortable. Avoid the glare from the sun.

If you are a snacker, eat healthy snacks and not junk, almonds are perfect for a light nibble.

Make sure you have a good comfortable chair and a desk that feels comfortable to you and your chair adjusts to the correct height.

I am looking for a new chair so I have been having a gander on Furniture @ Work’s website looking for something new for my office,

There are some wonderful chairs that would be perfect and also there is actually proper office equipment and the price is so low, the lowest I have found so far.

You want to make sure the office furniture is affordable, but also suits your needs and requirements. You don’t want to purchase cheap furniture that causes more pain, or blow your budget and have nothing left for other comforts.

Be prepared for searching around, if you can get to any shops, try the desks and chairs out and make sure you have optimal comfort and that they are going to be easy for you to use, comfortable and also perfect for your needs!

Home working is very popular right now, so take advantage of what the internet has to offer.

Do you work from home? Have you found some wonderful furniture and made your office, home?
