This tip just might make your work day a lot more pleasant
Do you spend lots of time every day sitting at a desk or table while using your computer?
If so, one of the best investments you can make is to buy yourself a decent ergonomic office chair.
While they’re fine for eating dinner or sitting with a friend while you chat for a few minutes, a regular straight-back chair just wasn’t designed to be sat in for prolonged periods of time.
A good office chair will help prevent back pain and all kinds of general discomfort.
Go ahead, treat yourself to a well-designed office chair. Your back and sleep routine will thank you.
You can find these chairs at your local furniture, office supply or “big box” store. And of course you’ll find them at Amazon, usually with very competitive pricing and free shipping.
