Low Cost Home Ergonomic Equipment Solutions
For those of us working or learning from home.
- Table Mate from Bed Bath & Beyond: This product works great when working on a couch and can also act similar to a keyboard tray at a kitchen table or desk. It has several height ranges, allowing for it to work for different height people.
Lap Top Risers. A box or stack of books work to raise your laptop to eye height. There are also a wide variety of laptop risers. We like the one linked here. It is sturdy, but light and has a wide height range adjustment. It can also fold up fairly flat if you are mobile.
Alternative Mouse and Keyboard. The use of an alternative mouse allows you to place your laptop at the correct eye height and your mouse/keyboard can then be placed at elbow height. There are a wide variety of good wireless keyboard an mice. The links above are of 2 of our favorites.
Lumbar Supports. Lumbar support/pillows can be helpful if you are sitting on a deep couch or chair. They can also be helpful when sitting on kitchen type chairs or other chairs that do not have built in lumbar support. The link above is one of our favorites. Remember that pillows and rolled up towels/small blankets can do the trick as well.
