Why a height-adjustable desk?
1. promotion of health
- Relief for the back: long-term studies show that sitting for long periods increases the risk of back pain and other musculoskeletal complaints. Height-adjustable desks allow you to regularly switch between sitting and standing positions. This reduces the strain on the back and relieves the spine.
- Improved blood circulation: Standing while working promotes blood circulation and can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Regularly alternating between sitting and standing keeps the circulation going and prevents fatigue.
- Less risk of civilisation diseases: According to studies, sitting for long periods of time can increase the risk of metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes. A desk with height adjustment supports a more active working style, which can minimise these risks.
2. increased productivity and concentration
- More energy and focus: Working standing up can increase energy levels and improve mental clarity. Studies show that a dynamic workplace leads to greater concentration and increased productivity.
- Variety in everyday working life: monotonous working postures often lead to tiredness and mental exhaustion. The opportunity to change position keeps the mind more alert and motivated.
3. flexibility and adaptability
- Customisation: A height-adjustable desk can be adapted to individual needs and preferences. Regardless of your height, the desk can be adjusted to the perfect height, allowing you to adopt the ergonomically correct posture.
- Team offices and shared workstations: In offices with shared workstations, height-adjustable desks can be quickly and easily adapted to different users.
- Better corporate health: Companies that invest in ergonomic solutions send out a strong signal: they care about the health and well-being of their employees. This makes employees happier and has a positive effect on company loyalty.
Conclusion
A height-adjustable desk is much more than just a piece of furniture. It is an investment in your health, your productivity and your well-being. Flexibility, ergonomics and a contemporary design make these desks an excellent choice for anyone who wants to optimise the way they work and stay healthy in the long term.
The right height-adjustable desk for your needs
The adjustment range is a decisive criterion when choosing the right height-adjustable desk. The Modulor T series offers a variety of options that are tailored to different body sizes. This allows you to work in your individual, ideal sitting and standing position.
An ergonomic table is of little use if it doesn't fit your height. Most people will find a suitable solution in the standard model with the double column. The premium model with the triple column is the better choice for you if your height is above or below average.
The best way to make the right decision is to determine your optimum table height. Simulate your maximum and minimum desk height with improvised desk set-ups. This will help you find the electrically height-adjustable desk that suits you perfectly.

Finding the right desk height
The right desk height is crucial for an ergonomic workplace that prevents back pain and tension. An optimally adjusted height promotes healthy posture and improves productivity.
Tips for the right desk height
- Note body size:
- Sitting: The desk should be high enough so that your elbows rest on the tabletop at a 90-degree angle when sitting upright. An average height of 72-75 cm is ideal for many adults.
- Standing: Even when standing, your forearms should rest at a 90-degree angle while your shoulders are relaxed.
- Optimise the seating position:
- Your feet should be flat on the floor and your knees should also be bent at a 90-degree angle. Your wrists should be straight and relaxed on the keyboard.
- Height-adjustable desks:
- These offer flexibility for switching between sitting and standing. Adjust the height to suit your ergonomic needs. Use the memory function to save your favourite settings.
- Table heights for children:
- A height-adjustable table is ideal for growing children as it can be adapted to their height.
Conclusion
A well-adjusted desk height is important for your health and performance. Take your height into account and adjust your workstation accordingly. Desks with height adjustment offer the necessary flexibility and support your well-being in the long term.

FAQs on height-adjustable desks
To find the right desk height, you should stand upright and relaxed in front of your height-adjustable desk. Your forearms should rest on the tabletop at a right angle to your upper arms, with your wrists resting slightly lower. Adjust the height accordingly until you feel comfortable. If your desk has a memory function, you can save the perfect height so that you can easily adjust it again at any time.
In many cases, employers invest in ergonomic solutions to promote the health and well-being of their employees. However, whether your employer will cover the costs depends on the individual company guidelines. It is worth talking to your HR department or your line manager.
The cost of a height-adjustable desk can be covered by pension insurance or health insurance if there is a medically proven illness or ergonomic need. You will usually need a medical certificate or a certificate from an occupational therapist. Contact your insurance company to find out the exact requirements.

Modern height-adjustable desks are equipped with quiet motors that allow the desk height to be adjusted almost silently. As a rule, the noise is not disruptive in open-plan offices and is barely noticeable.
Height-adjustable desks can contribute to an improved sense of well-being. They promote a healthy posture, increase productivity and provide more variety in the working day. With the flexible alternation between sitting and standing, they contribute to a positive working environment and a better attitude to life.
Step 1: Position yourself correctly
Stand upright and relaxed in front of your height-adjustable desk, which is set approximately to your standing height. Let your arms hang down at first.
Step 2: Align your forearms Raise
your forearms at a right angle to your upper arms or place them on the desk top. They should rest horizontally on the tabletop, although the angle may be slightly open. Your elbow does not have to rest directly on the desk; your forearms can fall slightly towards your wrists.
Step 3: Adjust the desk height and save if necessary
Adjust the desk height until you feel comfortable and your arms are in the right position. For desks with a memory function, you can save this height so that you can find it again quickly.
