Sit/stand desks are key to an ergonomic office design

We spend hours sitting at our desks, even though it’s not great for our bodies. Switching between sitting and standing boosts energy and reduces back strain. With affordable sit/stand desks, everyone can move more and work better. This guide shows you how.

In a better position

Height-adjustable desks help your team sit, stand or lean comfortably. Keep screens at eye level and arms relaxed. Whether sitting or standing, keep your back straight and feet flat. With good support and the right setup, everyone stays energised and feels better at work.

This desk never gets in the way

Standing desks offer more than good posture. MITTZON’s memory settings let employees save their preferred sitting and standing heights, and anti-collision tech stops the desk if something’s in the way. A cable tray keeps cords tidy, and acoustic screens help everyone stay focused.

“At IKEA, we understand the importance of comfort and support when you’re spending long hours at your desk. A sit/stand desk allows you to seamlessly adjust the height of the work surface. We believe that these features should not be a luxury for the few, but accessible to many. That’s why we make sit/stand desks affordable while maintaining our high standards of quality and function.”
