Getting the ergonomics right on your standing desk is crucial to reaping all the health benefits while avoiding new strains. Here's a step-by-step setup guide.
Sitting Height
Your elbows should form a 90-degree angle when your hands rest on the keyboard. Your eyes should be level with the top third of your monitor. For most people this means a desk height of 27"–30" while seated.
Standing Height
The same elbow rule applies while standing. Most people find their ideal standing height is 6"–8" higher than their sitting height. Use your ELEV8's memory preset to save this position — you'll never have to guess again.
Monitor Distance & Angle
Your monitor should be an arm's length away and tilted 10–20° backward. A dual monitor arm like the ELEV8 Dual Monitor Arm lets you dial this in precisely.
Anti-Fatigue Mat
Don't skip the mat. Standing on hard floors for hours causes more fatigue than the standing itself. The ELEV8 ErgoMat Pro uses a memory foam core that micro-adjusts to your weight — you'll notice the difference within the first hour.
