technological miracle and oh-so-handy to have around, but they can do a real number on your back. Here\u2019s how to avoid that.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dont_Use_a_Laptop_on_Your_Lap\"><\/span>Don\u2019t Use a Laptop on Your Lap<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Yes, it\u2019s called a laptop. Yes, you can put it on your lap and type away. For short tasks, that\u2019s not the end of the world. But for getting any extended work done, you\u2019re taking a shortcut to back pain.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s nothing natural or comfortable about hunching forward over your laptop. We don\u2019t design desktop computers to put the keyboard on our lap and the screen down lown near our knees for a reason. Laptop design is a compromise based on size and portability, not on ergonomics.<\/p>\n<p>So, as you might imagine, the rest of our suggestions will focus on all the ways to get out of that hunched-on-the-couch position and use your laptop comfortably.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Use_It_at_a_Proper_Height_Table\"><\/span>Use It at a Proper Height Table<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Whether you use it at your dining room table, a desk in your home office, or even standing at the really tall pass-through window between your kitchen and dining room because the counter there is the perfect height, you need to focus on a key ergonomic height requirement.<\/p>\n<p>Sitting or standing, the keyboard must be at a height so that your elbows are roughly at a 90-degree angle. You don\u2019t want your arms to droop down, and you don\u2019t want to reach up. Both positions bend your wrists and will lead, in time, to aggravation of the carpal tunnels.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re using your laptop as is without any of the suggested add-ons from later in the article, you can adjust the height on the table by putting things beneath the laptop (stout coffee table-style books are good for this) if it sits too low. Or, if you\u2019re sitting too low, you can raise yourself by sw<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ing the chair or putting a nice cushion on it to raise your body up.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pair_It_With_an_Ergonomic_Chair\"><\/span>Pair It With an Ergonomic Chair<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You don\u2019t need to splash $1,000+ on a primo ergonomic chair (although I\u2019m writing this article while sitting in a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Steelcase-Fabric-Chair-Black-46216179FBL\/dp\/B006H1QYBA?tag=lsmedia-11661-20\">Steelcase Leap<\/a>, and I assure you it was worth every penny). While an office chair might look at home in a home office, if you\u2019re working from the dining room table, it would certainly look out of place.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever kind of chair you\u2019re sitting in, however, you need to do what you can to make it as supportive as possible. That means no sitting on a wooden chair until the back of your legs are numb or spending hours in a chair with poor back support.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-box  \">\n<div class=\"product-img product-img-noaward\">\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\" role=\"presentation\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Gel-Seat-Cushion-Back-Relief\/dp\/B07JQ2V33Q?tag=lsmedia-11661-20\" onclick=\"fbq('track', 'Buy Button'); if (fb_t_convert){fb_t_convert();}\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51myGjam+yL._SL160_.jpg\" height=\"147px\" width=\"147px\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\"\/><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>If the chair is uncomfortable to sit on and\/or doesn\u2019t support your lower back properly to avoid a lumbar-crunching hunch, it would be wise to invest in some inexpensive pillows to remedy the situation.<\/p>\n<p>If the chair seat is comfy enough, but the back isn\u2019t particularly supportive, grab <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Back-Cushion-Lumbar-Support-Pillow\/dp\/B01IJNJAZ0?tag=lsmedia-11661-20\">this lumbar pillow<\/a>.

Where you\u2019ll end up in a lot of discomfort, however, is if the chair is tall enough that your feet don\u2019t sit flat on the floor\u2014at all or without putting pressure on the backs of your legs.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-box  \">\n<div class=\"product-img product-img-noaward\">\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\" role=\"presentation\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Foot-Rest-Under-Desk-Footstool\/dp\/B07PGLBCFG?tag=lsmedia-11661-20\" onclick=\"fbq('track', 'Buy Button'); if (fb_t_convert){fb_t_convert();}\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51h0xbk-x0L._SL160_.jpg\" height=\"147px\" width=\"147px\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\"\/><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>In that case, you\u2019ll want something to rest your feet on.

I love my diminutive Dell XPS laptop specifically because it\u2019s so small and easy to take anywhere. I don\u2019t want a laptop with a massive screen (and corresponding massive body). And if you\u2019re using a work laptop, swapping it out for a giant widescreen model probably isn\u2019t an option.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, you can use an external monitor with your laptop. Once you\u2019ve added the external mouse and keyboard we just mentioned, the monitor is the last step to make your laptop feel like a proper desktop computer.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-box  \">\n<div class=\"product-img product-img-noaward\">\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\" role=\"presentation\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07YGZL8XF?tag=lsmedia-11661-20\" onclick=\"fbq('track', 'Buy Button'); if (fb_t_convert){fb_t_convert();}\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41DN38-bLnL._SL160_.jpg\" height=\"147px\" width=\"147px\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\"\/><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"product-add\">\n<div class=\"product-add-button\">\n<div class=\"product-share-links\">\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Shop for LG Ultragear 27 144hz IPS Monitor\" aria-label=\"LG Ultragear 27 144hz IPS Monitor - Amazon\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07YGZL8XF?tag=lsmedia-11661-20\" style=\"text-decoration:none\" onclick=\"fbq('track', 'Buy Button'); if (fb_t_convert){fb_t_convert();}\">Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"product-price\">$269.99<br \/><small><del>$299.99<\/del> Save 10%<\/small><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>You\u2019ll have a nice big screen, a comfortable keyboard, and a mouse.
