This past year has forced many people around the globe to work from home, but even with conditions for going back to the office likely to improve in the near future, remote working is here to stay. Many companies have already announced plans to keep remote working as an option for their employees. As such, it’s more important than ever to equip your home office with the right tools so you can work efficiently and comfortably.

While a good internet connection and an up-to-date laptop are certainly necessary for any home office, it’s equally important to outfit your workspace with furnishings for your good health. As study after study has shown, sitting slouched over a computer all day can lead to poor posture, arterial disease, and other health problems. Sky Mat offers a number of anti-fatigue mats that, when combined with a proper desk set-up (either sitting or standing), can help prevent the ailments associated with the modern work routine.

It also has massage points and support ramps for your feet. And if you prefer to use a standing desk, it is ergonomically designed to reduce stress on your knees, spine, muscles, and joints. As with all Sky Mats, it is easy to clean and has a lifetime replacement guarantee. Even better, it is currently $40 off its list price.
