The best ergonomic office chair for long hours is one that offers adjustable seat height, lumbar support, armrests, and back tilt. These features help support good posture and reduce fatigue during extended periods of sitting.
Your feet should rest flat on the floor, thighs roughly parallel to the ground, and lower back supported by the chair’s lumbar support. Armrests should allow your shoulders to relax while typing.
Mesh chairs offer better breathability and are ideal for warm offices or long sessions. Leather chairs provide a more traditional appearance and are easier to wipe clean but can retain heat.
Higher-quality ergonomic chairs tend to last longer, offer better adjustability, and provide improved support. For daily use, they often represent better long-term value.
A chair with adjustable lumbar support, seat depth adjustment, and a flexible backrest is best for back pain, as it supports the spine’s natural curve.
Most standard office chairs support between 110–150kg. Always check the manufacturer’s specification for exact limits.

For most home offices, a desk between 1200–1600mm wide provides enough space for a laptop, monitor, and accessories without overcrowding the room.
Standing desks allow you to alternate between sitting and standing, which can improve comfort and reduce prolonged sitting. They are particularly beneficial for people working full-time at a desk.
The ideal desk height is typically around 720–740mm for seated work, but height-adjustable desks allow precise positioning for different users.
Yes, when used correctly. Alternating between sitting and standing throughout the day encourages movement and helps reduce strain caused by static posture.
A desk depth of at least 700–800mm is recommended to position dual monitors at a comfortable viewing distance.
High-quality MFC with protective edging, steel frames, and solid wood components offer excellent durability for everyday office use.
Pedestals are compact storage units designed to sit under desks, while filing cabinets are larger, standalone units used for higher-volume document storage.
Consider the volume of paperwork, available floor space, and whether you need drawers for A4, foolscap, or suspension files.
Cable trays, desk grommets, and under-desk power modules help keep workspaces neat and reduce trip hazards.
Vertical storage, under-desk pedestals, and wall-mounted shelving maximise storage without taking up valuable floor space.
Office phone booths and acoustic pods provide a practical solution for privacy, focus, and noise reduction in modern workplaces. They are designed to support confidential calls, video meetings, and concentrated work within open-plan offices, hybrid environments, and shared spaces.
An office phone booth is a self-contained acoustic workspace designed to reduce surrounding noise and improve speech privacy. It allows employees to take calls, attend virtual meetings, or work without distraction in busy office environments.
Most office phone booths reduce external noise by approximately 25–35 decibels, depending on their construction and materials. While they are not fully soundproof, they significantly reduce background noise and prevent conversations from being overheard.
In most cases, internal office phone booths do not require planning permission, as they are considered freestanding furniture rather than permanent structures. However, it is always advisable to check landlord or building management requirements.
Yes. Office phone booths typically include integrated ventilation, lighting, and power sockets, all of which require a standard electrical connection to operate correctly.
Single-person office phone booths usually require around 1 square metre of floor space. Additional clearance may be needed for door opening and airflow, which should be considered during workspace planning.
Yes. Acoustic pods are designed with controlled acoustics, effective ventilation, and suitable lighting, making them ideal for video calls on platforms such as Teams or Zoom.
Office phone booths are normally delivered in modular panels and assembled on site by professional installers. Correct installation is essential to ensure optimal acoustic performance and safety. We provide a fully delivery and installation service and prices are at checkout or ask for a quote
Yes. Acoustic phone booths are widely used in hybrid offices, healthcare administration areas, and shared workspaces where privacy, wellbeing, and focus are essential.
Delivery times vary by product. Stocked items can arrive quickly, while made-to-order furniture typically takes longer. Exact lead times are always provided at ordering.

A general guideline is 4–6 square metres per workstation, though this varies depending on layout and furniture type.
A balance of open collaboration areas and quiet focus zones supports both teamwork and individual concentration.
An ergonomic workstation combines an adjustable chair, correctly positioned desk, monitor at eye level, and adequate legroom.
Compact desks, corner solutions, and modular storage are ideal for maximising space in smaller or irregular rooms.
Acoustic panels, soft furnishings, and office phone booths help absorb sound and improve speech privacy.
