Welcome to the latest installment of Developer’s At Home, a blog series focused on ergonomics and reducing eye strain and fatigue for web developers. In this series, we’ll be exploring the benefits of using a standing mat.
If you’re like most web developers, you probably spend long hours sitting at a desk, working on your computer. While sitting might seem like the most comfortable option, it can actually have negative effects on your health. Studies have shown that prolonged sitting can increase the risk of obesity, heart disease, and even early mortality.
One solution to the negative effects of prolonged sitting is to use a standing mat. Standing mats, as the name suggests, are mats that are designed for use while standing. They provide a cushioned surface to stand on and can help to reduce fatigue and improve comfort while standing.
But standing mats aren’t just about improving comfort – they can also improve your focus and reduce distractions. Some studies have shown that people who use standing mats report increased focus and fewer distractions, leading to higher levels of productivity.
So, if you’re a web developer looking to improve your health and productivity, a standing mat might be the perfect solution. In this blog series, we’ll be exploring the different types of standing mats available, as well as the pros and cons of each type. Stay tuned for more!
