Computer Riser
In today’s workplace, hours spent at a desk, hunched over a computer screen, can lead to a range of health issues, from neck strain and back pain to decreased productivity and even mental fatigue.
Benefits Of Using A Computer Riser At Work
Reducing The Risk Of Neck Strain
Incorporating a computer riser into your workspace offers significant health and productivity advantages. By elevating your monitor or laptop to eye level, a computer riser helps reduce the risk of neck strain, encouraging better posture during long hours of desk work. At FluidStance, our Raise™ Monitor Riser is designed to provide a needed lift while also allowing additional desk space to keep your workspace organized and efficient.
Better Concentration And Work Performance
Enhanced workspace layouts lead to increased comfort, contributing to improved concentration and work performance. A well-positioned screen reduces eye strain and the need for constant readjustment during work intervals. Additionally, for those who stand while working, pairing a computer riser with our anti-fatigue mats can further decrease physical fatigue, promoting greater stamina throughout the workday.
Looking Out For The Environment
Beyond functional benefits, choosing a computer riser from FluidStance means opting for products that place a premium on sustainability. Crafted with eco-friendly materials and processes, our computer risers are part of a broader commitment to environmental responsibility and health-conscious innovation. This dedication ensures that while your workspace benefits, so does the planet.
Types Of Computer Risers: Adjustable Vs. Fixed
Understanding the differences between adjustable and fixed computer risers can guide you to a solution that best suits your needs.
Adjustable Computer Risers
Adjustable computer risers offer versatility and customization, allowing users to change the height and angle of their monitors or devices to suit personal preferences. These risers are ideal for individuals who share workspace or switch between sitting and standing. They are designed to enhance comfort, improve posture, and reduce strain on the neck and shoulders.
Fixed Computer Risers
Fixed computer risers provide a stable, sturdy foundation for your devices, elevating screens to a set height. While lacking the flexibility of their adjustable counterparts, fixed risers are perfect for those who have established an optimal desk height and prefer a no-fuss setup.
The Raise™ Monitor Riser from FluidStance offers a sustainable, design-forward option that not only lifts your monitor to a suitable position but also contributes to an environmentally responsible workspace. This monitor riser comes in two sizes for one (24") or two monitors (36") to fit your needs.
What Both Help To Do
Both types of risers contribute significantly to an efficient work setup by elevating screens to eye level, minimizing neck and back discomfort. Your choice between an adjustable or fixed computer riser should consider how often you change your workspace configuration and your commitment to workspace practices.
How To Choose The Right Computer Riser For Your Setup
Here are some key considerations to guide you in choosing the right computer riser for your setup:

Selecting a riser that adapts to your evolving technology will provide long-term value.
