How to Choose a Monitor Arm & Ergonomic Office Chair
Having a good desk and computer are not the only components of a comfortable workstation.
Having a good desk and computer are not the only components of a comfortable workstation. How comfortable you will be while working long sessions depends on your monitor position, chair, desk height, and overall layout.
Desktronic provides standing desks, ergonomic chairs, monitor arms and workspace accessories which allow for a more organized and adjustable workspace. It now has an ergonomic chair range called ‘SitOne’ and ‘SitPro'’ and a range of monitor arms that also includes single and dual arms.
When it comes to the monitor arm, an office chair or an ergonomisk stol, there are a number of points to consider to enhance your workspace.

How to Select a Monitor Arm
So how to select a monitor arm? Choosing a Monitor Arm
If you don't have a monitor arm, you can use it to adjust the height and angle of your screen for a more comfortable viewing position while taking up less desk space.
Consider size and weight of your monitor, mounting standard, your desk thickness and the number of screens you need before selecting one.
Today's screen arm from Desktronic is only available in a single configuration, and it can support screen sizes from 17 to 34 inches and a maximum weight of up to 19.8 pounds per screen. The dual version is capable of two screens up to 32 inches and 
for each screen.
The arm can tilt, swivel and adjust height and screen rotation, which allows you to adjust the position of viewing the screen as needed.
How to Adjust the Monitor's Position for Optimal Ergonomics
A good monitor arm will only be as useful as your ability to set up the monitor properly.
You should first position the monitor so that you don't have to continually bend your neck down or tilt your head up to watch. You should also have a comfortable distance to read from.
A monitor arm allows you to adjust the monitor's height, angle and direction without moving the entire desk.
The monitor arm also offers 360-degree rotation and a full range of motion, offering users flexibility when setting up their workspace.
Office Chair Adjustability & Desktronic SitOne vs. SitPro Comparison
How to Choose the Right Office Chair
An office chair should support you in your work, but allow you to change position during the day.
When considering the features to look for, remember:
- Adjustable seat height
- Lumbar support
- Adjustable armrests
- Reclining positions
- Seat-depth adjustment
- Headrest adjustment
- Breathable materials
- Suitable weight capacity
Your favourite chair would depend on your height, figure, working routine and the number of hours spent sitting.
Desktronic currently has two models of ergonomic office chairs (SitOne and SitPro) which vary in the number of adjustments offered.
A Guide to Understanding an Ergonomisk Stol
The ergonomisk stol (ergonomic chair) is a Danish expression for an ergonomic chair. The concept is to select a chair that can be set to fit your body and your work position, instead of trying to fit your body to a chair.
Ergonomic seating is defined as supporting areas like the lower back, shoulders and neck and offering more than one adjustment point, says Desktronic.
When choosing an ergonomisk stol, make sure that you can adjust the chair with ease. The more features a chair has, the better it is not necessarily, if those features are not to your benefit.

SitOne offers 6 adjustment points and comes with features like adjustable armrests, lumbar support, seat-depth adjustment and multiple recline positions. Currently, it is also said to have a weight capacity of 300 lbs.
SitPro offers nine adjustment points and extra recline, forward-tilt and height adjustments. SitPro also says that it conforms to BIFMA standards for durability and safety, and comes with a 3-year warranty.
Decide on the changes that you really need, rather than just picking the most feature-packed.
Integrated Desk Setups, Single vs. Dual Arms, & Maintenance
The Best Ways to Create a More Effective Desk Setup
A chair and monitor should go together.
Even if your chair is set up properly, but your monitor is placed too low, you can still be leaning forward or looking down for extended periods of time.
A great combination of an ergonomic office chair and an adjustable monitor arm can provide the control over your workstation that you may need. Desktronic highlights the interdependency of monitor positioning, lower-back support and desk height in a comfortable setup.
Your keyboard and mouse should be positioned so your shoulders are relaxed and your wrists are comfortable.
Choosing Between Single and Dual Monitor Arms
Choosing between single and dual monitor arms can be tricky.When it comes to single or dual monitor arms, it can be difficult to decide.
The task you're doing dictates the number of screens you'll need.
One monitor arm may suffice for an office, study, browse or simple home work station.
For those who often need to compare documents, track multiple applications, edit multiple contents, code, or manage multiple workflows at once, a dual arm can be helpful.
Desktronic is available in two types, single and dual monitor-arm configuration, which makes the accessory more convenient to match your screen configuration.
Maintaining Your Workspace Layout
Your workspace can be comfortable and well organized with regular maintenance.
Ensure that monitor arm joints stay tight and that cables are not exerting tension on displays. Empty the desk of clutter, and change the chair once in a while when your work routine changes.
Desktronic also has solutions like monitor stands, cable trays, desk drawers, and magnetic cable channels, which can help to keep clutter levels down.
It is easier to keep the position of your monitor, keyboard and chair when you have a clean setup.
