New Office Floor Mats and Desk Footrests
Raising your feet slightly off the ground while seated can help the body achieve a more natural posture. As a result, it helps you to work longer and more productively overall. We have the perfect desk footrest for you and your staff—just have a look at our inventory.
Desk Footrests
You might wonder if you can substitute in a box of some sort. You could as a short-term solution, but it wouldn’t hold up for very long and could get in the way. Also, it’s not ideal if your clients can see it.
Whether you should use a slanted footrest or a flat one also depends on where it will be placed. A flat footrest is usually only used where the chair is quite high, and you need the extra support under your feet.
A slanted footrest is used to help correct the posture and generally kept a little further under the desk. The Workrite Ergonomics Production Footrest, for example, is adjustable so you can set it at the perfect height for yourself.
Office Floor Mats
Office floor mats serve a dual purpose. They make it easier to reposition your chair and protect the carpeting underneath.
The Workrite mat is a little different. It helps to keep your chair in place when you’re not trying to move it. That’s good because it helps prevent those awkward moments when your chair goes skittering out from under you because you swung round to grab a file too fast.
The OfficeSource mat is made from tempered glass and is really strong. Unlike the clear plastic mats, we’re more familiar with it won’t discolor with age or start lifting.
Either option is a great addition to your office environment. You don’t have to worry about the wheels of the chair getting stuck in your plush pile carpeting.
