The Benefits of an Electric Adjustable Desk 

Easy to adapt to your height

One of the biggest benefits of an electric desk is, of course, how easy it is to use. The inbuilt motor does all the hard work for you, allowing you to pre-program the settings to provide the optimum working height for you. Our electric desks have an adjustable height range, making it perfect for users of all heights to enjoy a comfortable workspace.

Reduce the risks associated with prolonged sitting

We have an increasingly sedentary workforce, with research commissioned by Active Working CIC estimating that office workers spend up to 10 hours a day sitting down, 70% of which happens in the workplace. Prolonged sitting and an all-round sedentary lifestyle is associated with numerous health risks, including heart disease, type 2 diabetes and certain cancers.

Using an electric adjustable desk - also known as an electric sit stand desk - encourages workers to swap between sitting and standing. To get the most health benefits from an adjustable desk, you should ideally be moving between a sitting and standing position every 30 minutes, accumulating at least 2 hours of standing a day. Too much static standing can also be harmful, which is why it’s so important to switch between the two.

As well as improving your health in the long term by minimising the risk of more serious illnesses, regularly standing at work can boost your blood and oxygen circulation, which can help you feel more alert and productive. 

Improve your posture

Most desks are a bit of a one-size-fits-all deal. There’s no guarantee that a traditional, fixed-position desk will be at a height that supports good posture. However, a desk that’s too high up and has you reaching for your keyboard can hinder blood flow to the hands, whilst a desk that’s too low down can cause you to adopt a slumped position, straining your back and neck.

Being able to adjust the height of your desk means that it’s always at the right height to maintain proper posture, whether you’re standing up or sitting down. Better posture will reduce the risk of aches and pains at the end of your work day, as well as keeping your energy levels up throughout the day.

Electric Desks FAQs

How do electric standing desks improve workplace ergonomics?

If you use an electric standing desk as intended, then it should provide ideal ergonomics to support you at the correct height as you sit or stand. After all, we're all different heights, so why shouldn't your desk be adaptable to you?

The whole purpose of an electric standing desk is that you can program the desk to adjust to your desired height whether you're working seated or standing up. After all, there is no ‘correct’ way to sit for a prolonged period, as we should all be moving regularly - at least every 30 minutes you should ideally be switching between sitting and standing.

Motorised standing desk vs manual adjustable desk - what’s the difference?

An adjustable desk is always going to provide you with more flexibility, as unlike a fixed desk, you can move an adjustable desk up or down as required. As the name suggests, a manual adjustable desk requires you to physically turn a crank or lever until the level of the desk reaches the optimal height. 

A motorised standing desk is powered by electricity, meaning it will automatically adjust to the desired height with the touch of a button. Motorised standing desks can also provide the distinct advantage of being able to memorise your preferred height settings, so changing it to the correct height is a total breeze.

Do electric sit-stand desks have memory presets?

Yes, ours do! Our electric desks have a premium control panel, which allows you to store sitting and standing heights for more than one user, which is perfect if you regularly hot desk. Our electric standing desks offer all the premium quality features that you would expect, which includes the ability for the desk to remember your preferred heights! 

An adjustable standing desk is a fantastic investment in your health and wellbeing, but it depends on your budget and overall user preferences as to which option will be better for you personally. Electric standing desks certainly have the edge, as they feature more premium features. This includes the ability for the desk to remember your preferred desk height for sitting and standing. 

Also, it can also be more convenient to adjust a desk height with a touch of a button, rather than having to physically turn a mechanism to lower or raise the desk as needed. So, while they are more expensive than a manual standing desk, electric adjustable desks provide overall ease of use.

Who can benefit from an electric adjustable height computer desk?

A height adjustable electric standing desk (also known as a motorised stand up desk) can benefit anyone who works at a desk. Specifically, anyone who wants to reduce the amount of time they spend sitting at a desk - which is most of us, as the average office worker spends 10 hours a day sitting down, 70% of which happens at work.

The motorised controls of an electric desk make it effortless to raise or lower the desk as needed. For instance, you may wish to stand during meetings or when presenting, but then want to sit down again while typing an email. Everyone can benefit from a desk that can be customised to suit them, so leave that clunky, inflexible traditional desk behind and step into a more ergonomic setup with an electric adjustable desk!
