If you’re one of the millions of people who became a remote worker in 2020, you’ve likely realized that your WFH setup is more important than you once thought. Prior to the pandemic, you probably assumed working from home meant laying in bed, slumping on the couch with a blanket, or sitting on the porch with a cup of coffee. Ah, wouldn’t that be nice?

In reality, if you’re regularly working from home for hours each day, you’re going to need a more ergonomic setup. That means either having a designated office with a desk and chair, or getting creative with a laptop stand or desk converter. Ergonomics and comfort look a bit different for everyone, which is why we’ve rounded up 10 different options on sale this weekend to suit your individual WFH needs. Save yourself the struggle from back and neck pain and mend your mangled spine with these ergonomic improvements.

Mount-It! Height Adjustable Sit-Stand Desk Converter

So, you’ve got a flat surface (kitchen counter, table, or desk), but you still find yourself slouching to see your measly little laptop screen. No worries. This sit-stand desk converter raises and lowers its 35-inch work surface to any height between 6 and 19 inches. In other words, you can move your screen to the perfect height for your line of vision. Plus, you can adjust your setup to a standing desk to stretch your legs periodically. It’s also got a built-in keyboard tray, a device holder, and can fit two large monitors, laptops, and tablets without issue. Get it on sale for $182.99 (regularly $199).

If you truly prefer laying in your bed or on your couch while working (no judgment), opt for this Portable Lazy Laptop Desk. It’s really not a desk at all, but it does make the laptop perched in your lap a more comfortable experience. The dual bolster cushion base offers support to your lap and knees. Plus, it keeps the laptop screen at a more comfortable angle. It also comes with a tablet, phone, and pen holder, so everything you need is within reach, and a 21-inch wrist pad to keep your wrist relaxed and pain-free as your work. Usually $199, you can slash over 30% off and get it for $134.95.

It simply slips over your lap and securely holds your laptop off your lap, so you can stretch your legs or move about without it slipping and falling. It features adjustable height and angle for comfort and glare-reduction, naturally dissipates heat to prevent overheating, prevents you from hunching over, and even collapses flat for easy storage.
