The Importance Of Proper Monitor Height

The height of your monitor plays a crucial role in setting up an efficient workspace. Ensuring your monitor is at the proper height has significant health benefits. When your monitor is positioned correctly, it helps keep your neck neutral, reducing the risk of strain and long-term discomfort.

Preventing Discomfort 

Office workers and remote workers alike may not realize the cumulative impact of a poorly positioned monitor. Chronic neck and back pain, eye strain, and even headaches can all be linked to an improperly set-up workstation. Elevating your monitor to eye level with products such as the Lift Whiteboard Laptop Stand and the Raise™ Monitor Riser ensures you're not constantly looking down or tilting your head, which reduces physical strain and encourages proper alignment. According to a whitepaper, FluidStance products promote micro-movements that increase energy expenditure by up to 19.2% compared to sitting, which supports a healthier posture and mitigates the risks of prolonged sedentary habits.

Solutions For Creating An Efficient Workspace

FluidStance's Raise™ Monitor Riser is a beautifully designed solution considering efficiency and aesthetics. By shifting the angle with which you view your monitor, the Raise™ Monitor Riser can help reduce neck strain and free up valuable desk space. This is particularly beneficial for individuals who spend a significant portion of their day at their desks, where promoting movement and maintaining proper posture are key to their well-being.

A quality monitor stand like the Raise™ Monitor Riser enhances your setup and aligns with a health-conscious lifestyle. It represents a commitment to both personal wellness and environmental stewardship, reflecting FluidStance's dedication to sustainability through the use of eco-friendly materials. Prioritizing the proper arrangement of your work tools, starting with the height of your monitor, can make a world of difference in fostering an active and healthy workplace.

Sustainable Materials In Monitor Stand Design

As a company, we are committed to using sustainable and reclaimed materials, which helps to reduce our environmental footprint while creating durable products. 

Products That Compliment Your Workspace

For instance, monitor stands like the Raise™ Monitor Riser and Lift Whiteboard Laptop Stand are crafted using eco-friendly manufacturing processes, ensuring that your workspace contributes to a healthier planet as much as it does to your posture. The Lift Whiteboard Laptop Stand is made with 100% steel with high recycled content, and the Raise™ Monitor Riser is also made from heavy-duty recycled steel.

How Monitor Stands Improve Posture And Reduce Neck Strain

Monitor stands can help improve our workstation efficiency, leading to a healthier work environment. Here’s how they work to improve posture so that you don’t have to deal with any issues, such as neck pain: 

  • These stands elevate your monitor to eye level, helping keep your spine aligned and reducing strain on your neck and shoulders.
  • When your screen is positioned too low, you likely find yourself hunched over, leading to discomfort and long-term health issues like chronic back and neck pain. A monitor stand prevents this by bringing your screen to a natural eye level, encouraging you to sit up straighter and minimize awkward neck postures.

Elevating your monitor to eye level is how these stands help keep your spine aligned and reduce the strain on your neck and shoulders. According to findings from the whitepaper, 83% of participants using FluidStance products (namely, the Level) experienced happiness and better posture when compared to traditional sedentary setups. A monitor stand like the Raise™ Monitor Riser promotes better alignment, helping reduce the risk of hunching and minimizing discomfort over time.

  • FluidStance's Raise™ Monitor Riser also provides additional desk storage space. Made with environmentally friendly materials, it reflects our commitment to sustainability while enhancing your work setup. Incorporating a monitor stand into your workstation is a small change that can significantly improve posture, productivity, and overall well-being.

Pairing Your Monitor Stand With Other Active Workstation Products

Maximizing the benefits of a monitor stand goes beyond bringing your screen to the perfect eye level. Pairing your monitor stand with other active workstation products can transform your workspace into a hub of productivity and wellness.

  • Consider Integrating Balance Boards, like The Original or the Level Balance Board, to introduce subtle, continuous movement as you work. These boards are crafted from sustainable materials, making them a choice that aligns with eco-conscious values. Whether tapping away at your keyboard or participating in a virtual meeting, these balance boards keep your core engaged and your circulation flowing.
  • For Those Who Stand While Working, an anti-fatigue mat like the B+Ground™ Anti-Fatigue Mat can be a game changer. It reduces fatigue and provides cushioning, allowing you to stand comfortably for extended periods. Pairing this with a monitor stand helps to maintain an efficient posture, minimizing body strain.
  • Add the Slope™ Desk Whiteboard to your setup for a practical, eye-level note-taking solution. This whiteboard fits perfectly between your keyboard and monitor stand, offering a space for reminders or quick brainstorming sessions without disrupting your workflow.
  • FluidStance’s Flow Cards can be seamlessly integrated into your setup, offering a portable and eco-friendly way to organize your thoughts. Pair this with the Illum Desk Lamp for customizable lighting that enhances focus during late-night work sessions.

How To Choose The Right Monitor Stand For Your Needs

1. Efficiency And Health Benefits

One primary reason for using a monitor stand is to improve your posture and reduce neck strain. Look for a stand, like the FluidStance Raise™ Monitor Riser, that elevates your screen to eye level to promote a more natural and comfortable sitting position. This helps prevent the common hunch or slouch that can lead to discomfort and long-term health issues.

2. Material And Sustainability

If environmental sustainability is essential, look for a monitor stand made with eco-friendly materials. Products crafted with sustainable materials not only support your green initiatives but are often durable as well. FluidStance is committed to providing eco-friendly options so you can choose a product that aligns with your values.

3. Desk Space And Organization

Consider the size of your desk and the additional storage space a monitor stand can offer. Some stands, such as those from FluidStance, include under-stand storage, giving you a home for small office supplies or devices. This extra space helps keep your desk tidy and clutter-free.

4. Aesthetic And Design

Finally, consider the design and aesthetics of the monitor stand. It's crucial that your workspace feels inviting and personalized to motivate you throughout the day. FluidStance's designs harmonize with various workspace styles, making it easy to add functionality without compromising style.

Setting Up Your Workspace: Tips For Optimal Efficiency

Here are some pointers to ensure your setup encourages movement and comfort:

1. Elevate Your Monitor

A monitor stand like the Raise™ Monitor Riser can significantly reduce neck strain by positioning your monitor at eye level. This prevents hunching over and encourages a more upright posture, reducing discomfort and the risk of long-term injury.

2. Optimize Your Desk Layout

Keeping essential items within reach minimizes excessive stretching or twisting. Organizers like the Slope™ Desk Whiteboard add a bit of flair and functionality to your workspace. This setup allows easy access to your notes and small accessories while keeping your desk neat.

3. Engage Your Core And Lower Body

Incorporating a balance board, such as The Original or Level Balance Board, under your desk can add subtle movement throughout your day, engaging your core and lower body. These products improve balance and posture and enhance energy expenditure, providing an active working environment.

4. Don't Forget Your Feet

Investing in efficient support with an anti-fatigue mat, like B+Ground™ Anti-Fatigue Mat, can make a vast difference. These mats provide a comfortable surface to stand on, relieving the pressure on your feet and lower limbs during prolonged standing tasks.
