Lately I’ve been feeling drained by sitting all day at my desk, and I keep hearing about people switching to some sort of adjustable desks. I’m confused about whether they actually help with focus and posture or if it’s just another office fad. Has anyone tried this?
Adjustable sit-stand desks aren’t just a fad, but they’re also not magic. Most people who use them say they feel less stiff, have better posture, and stay a bit more energized, especially in the afternoon. The biggest help seems to come from simply switching positions instead of sitting for hours straight.
But: they only work if you actually use the standing option. Some folks end up standing for a week, then never touch the button again. And standing all day isn’t great either — it’s the mix that helps.
