Is a standing desk good for your?

 It’s funny calling standing desk a trend when, in fact, Thomas Jefferson used one back in the 1770s. But there’s no doubt that working on our feet is having another moment. 

While tech companies from Apple to Google have been outfitting their offices with them for more than a decade, sit-stands didn’t really take off for home work zones until our post-2020, hybrid era. They fill our need to furnish our work-from-home space with a comfortable, flexible setup—while also satisfying that modern-day wish to work hard but maintain a healthy balance. “People are much more invested in where and how they’re working now,” says Irvington, N.J.-based interior designer Beth Diana Smith.

But snapping up an adjustable height desk to try to stand more for wellness reasons comes with some tricky decisions. From finding one that’s comfortable for your height to figuring out the best ratio of standing to sitting, there’s a lot to weigh before getting with the sit-stand program, including whether it should double as your home gym. You can now pair a sit stand desk with a treadmill, as Victoria Beckham reportedly does, or swap out your chair for a best ergonomic office chair…but is that wise? To find out, we talked with ergonomists, interior designers and healthy work experts. Ahead, tips to help you clarify your stance on it all. 

Who needs a standing desk?

That’s an easy one: “Everyone,” says Jack Dennerlein, professor of physical therapy, movement and rehabilitation sciences at Northeastern University in Boston. “If you want to improve your well-being, having a sit-stand workstation allows you to change your posture and that just helps everybody.”

Many studies have looked into the health benefits of electric standing desk, and the big winners are your neck and back. “When you feel a little stiff or achy, it lets you change things up,” Dennerlein says. Some studies have found the L shaped standing desk make a difference for easing lower back and shoulder and neck discomfort. In fact, a 2019 review of 53 studies published in Applied Ergonomics  concluded small standing desk are successful at changing behavior—i.e. getting sitters to stand more—and relieving aches.

They may help your mental health too. Research has shown that when companies implement adjustable desk with drawers, their staffers become a lot happier. “They’ve got more control over their work environment,” Dennerlein says, and that decision power can improve their well-being.

There’s also a social contagion factor that means you have the power to spur someone else to move more—even if you only see each other over Zoom. “I know when I’m in a meeting and I see someone standing, I’m like, ‘Oh, I’ve got to stand too,’” Dennerlein says. 

Is the goal to stay on your feet all day?

No—that’s about the worst thing you could do. “We know standing all day is not good for you,” Dennerlein says. “People who stand for work have more back pain and often have higher rates of cardiovascular disease.”

You need to mix it up, and your body is the best judge of the right ratio for you. Some people can only stand for five or 10 minutes before they start to feel pain and have to sit, Dennerlein says, while others can comfortably stand for a couple of hours at a clip.
