How to choose​ ergonomic office furniture

Choosing the right ergonomic furniture isn’t always simple. From seating and lighting to desk size and standing options, IKEA offers smart solutions for those who work or study for long hours.

Finding the right ergonomic chair

Everyone’s body is different, so it’s not just about maintaining the right posture — staying mobile is just as important. Follow these three key sitting tips and choose a chair that suits your needs.

Keep hips and knees at a 90–100° angle

Your hips and knees should form a 90–100° angle, with your feet flat on the floor. Choosing a chair with adjustable seat height helps reduce pressure when standing up, making it easier to get up from your seat.

Keep elbows at a 90° angle

The desk surface should be level with your elbows, whether you’re sitting or standing. Your elbows should form a 90° angle while working. A chair with armrests can support your arms and help keep them comfortably aligned.

Tilt your screen 20–30°

Your monitor should be tilted at a 20–30° angle to create an ideal line of sight and reduce strain on your neck and shoulders.

Ergonomic Chairs Recommendations

Find the right sit-stand desk for your needs

A height-adjustable desk helps reduce the strain of sitting too long while improving your comfort and productivity. Here are three key tips when choosing one:
➊ Load capacity between 80–120 kg
➋ Desk height: 65–80 cm (sitting), 100–130 cm (standing)
➌ Collision sensor for added safety – stops and reverses if resistance is detected

Electric sit-stand desk

The dual-motor system lets you adjust the desk to your preferred height at the touch of a button. Built-in collision detection enhances safety by stopping and reversing if any resistance is sensed.
 

Manual sit-stand desk

Adjust the desk height by simply turning the crank handle – whether sitting or standing, you can find your most comfortable working position.
 

Laptop Table / Side Table

Easily movable for flexible use, with a height-adjustable function that lets you raise or lower the desk at the touch of a button – perfectly tailored to your preferred working height.
 

Monitor stands and desk lamps help ease eye and neck strain

Using a monitor stand and desk lamp to adjust screen height and lighting is a simple way to stay focused longer and reduce fatigue.

Monitor stand

Maintaining good productivity over long periods can be achieved by adjusting your screen to eye level. This helps reduce strain on your neck and eyes.

Desk lamp

A well-lit environment supports better focus and helps relieve eye fatigue — especially when using lighting that closely mimics natural daylight.

Get more comfortable with ergonomic accessories

Standing up at your desk for parts of the day is good for your body, including your circulation. A thick FREIVID standing mat with a machine-washable cover makes it more comfortable. While putting your feet up on a DAGOTTO footrest can help you sit in a good position and reduce strain on your body. And you can use this ÖVNING multifunctional ergonomic footrest to support your lumbar region, knees and ankles, too.
