1. An anti-fatigue comfort mat that'll help relieve foot, knee, and back pain while you're using your standing desk. When you need a good stretch (or two!) or a change of pace, get up and stand on this!
Promising review: "This anti fatigue mat is like standing on a cloud wearing cloud shoes, it is amazing! I actually feel energized when using it with my standing desk. I highly recommend this anti fatigue mat to anyone who stands or has legs!" —Jeremy
Get it from Amazon for $39.97+ (available in three sizes and nine colors).
2. A leak-proof and time-marked water bottle to keep by you because I know you forget to drink water while you're sitting there all day. The time marker will conveniently remind you when to take another sip and keep you hydrated.
This also has a little filter for you to put in fruit!
Promising review: "I want to marry this water bottle. I wasn’t a water drinker AT ALL. Then this baby arrived and changed the game! How could the sheer feature of knowing how much to drink by a certain time of day be so incentivizing?! All rave reviews are true. 1) The texture is nice to the touch. 2) The time labels help me a ton — very motivating to know exactly how I’m doing on my water intake as the day goes on. (I’m busy at work and would never be able to reflect back and calculate how much I drank or refilled my bottle) 3) The strap is convenient and I use it more than I thought I would, juggling a bunch of things in and out. 4.) The little fruit tray works great. I squeeze lemon in my water and cut a thin slice and put it in the top. 5) The mouth piece is comfortable. 6) The button pops the lid open, which happens without a sound (I can’t be screwing lids off and on in the car) 7) There is a little lock that provides extra security that it won’t leak if I toss it in my bag. It’s stupid how taken I am with a freakin’ water bottle." —L.G.B.
Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (also available in blue).
3. An orthopedic pain relief seat cushion for helping with tailbone pain, sciatica, leg and lower back pain, and encouraging better posture (I know you're guilty of slumping). It's made with memory foam too so it'll mold itself to the shape of your bottom!
The cover is removable and washable according to reviewers.
Promising review: "I have been using the seat pillow for two weeks now, and it has done what it advertises. It has reduced pain, held up up well, and maintained its shape. Given I am not sitting on it all day, which may impact the wear and tear, it still has provided an increase in support and comfort, and has helped reduce my dull sciatica pain when having to sit for extended periods of time." —Icarus Rising
Get it from Amazon for $39.95 (available in five colors).
4. A lap desk to beat all lap desks. It has a built-in mouse pad, wrist pad, and a phone/tablet holder so wherever you are in the house, whether it's your couch, in bed, or at the kitchen table, your productivity levels will stay top-notch!
Promising review: "This has got to be the best laptop lap desk I have ever owned! The wrist rest is cushiony, and the cushions on the back are super comfortable on my legs. It has a slight incline, which is perfect. It's sturdy and light. Love the handle, the mouse pad with borders so the mouse won't fall off, and the tablet/phone slots. I don't write a lot of reviews, but I am so happy with this product that I had to give it a good review. Hopefully, this will help someone that is searching for the right lap desk. Recommend it to anyone." —J. Castro
Get it from Amazon for $61.79.
5. A mobile phone holder so you have a convenient place to prop up your phone, and it'll always be within arm's reach. You won't have to hunt down where it went or lose it among your desk clutter. Plus, tell me that isn't the cutest darn alpaca you've ever seen. It'll make you smile every time you reach for your phone (which is probably 100 times a day, which means 100 smiles to brighten your cold heart!).
Promising review: "Cute, functional, and adorable! Even my S.O. thinks it is cute. It is the perfect rest for my phone and excellent quality." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $20.95 (available in eight BT21 characters).
6. A cool sitting ball that'll not only help relieve back pain but also engage your abs and core, promote good posture, and help you stretch. This is the easiest way to work out while sitting, I daresay!
Promising review: "I originally bought this ball for my son to use at home while we are starting our digital school year. I myself, working now all day online, have been struggling sitting in a chair. I asked my son if I could borrow his ball. Wow, what a nice treat that was! It was a great relief for my back. And, I'm not going to lie, it felt good to bounce and roll around. I noticed right away my posture improved. Needless to say, I ordered a bigger ball for myself. The ball is easy to inflate and is holding the air in even though my son is now not only using it at his computer desk but he brings it around the house and will play video games and laying on his belly on it, sitting on it, resting his head on it, throwing it at his brother...ha! My new ball has been a must have for me now. I have also used my ball for exercise. It's been nice to add that extra core engagement by incorporating balance as well. I'm very happy." —Kindle Customer
Get it from Amazon for $13.97+ (available in 10 colors and four sizes).
7. A nonslip memory foam lap desk with a built-in light and foam wrist pad for when you work late into the night or early mornings — plus, it helps keep your laptop from overheating!
Promising review: "I work from home so it's used a lot. Great stuff about this: The top has a really pretty wood look and feel (though I think it's actually plastic). The plastic makes my PC no longer overheat and the texture makes the PC not slip around like the many awful other ones. Seriously, I can tip this almost sideways before the PC starts to move at all. The bottom cushion and wrist pad is thick and comfy. The wrist pad helps lock the PC in place too. The light is awesome! The actual light slips into the bottom cushion when not wanted (you don't even know it's there), but comes in super handy when extra light is needed. And if you're out of batteries or don't feel like buying any...the light can stick in your PC's USB port! My laptop is pretty big, and I still have room for a mouse or small notepad. It's simple and classy (not tacky)." —Nathan D.
Get it from Amazon for $42.78+ (also available in red).
8. A sleek air purifier that'll help trap smoke, pollutants, dust, and germs while circulating clean air around your space so you won't be breathing in anything nasty while you're sitting in one spot working all day. Protect those lungs!
Promising review: "This is awesome! It is so super quiet and efficient! I did lots of research first to find the best quality but yet also affordable air purifier because I have horrible allergies and I can definitely say that I found the winner! I read in reviews about a plastic smell when first running it so I stuck the replaceable odor filter in it and probably smelled the plastic smell for the first few hours and then it was gone. And I can breathe again. I don't have to grab my inhaler first thing in the morning anymore! I definitely recommend this product and I will be buying another one!" —Jessica
Get it from Walmart for $132.
9. An ergonomic mouse pad with gel support to minimize your wrist pain!
Promising review: "I love how inexpensive this mouse pad is for what you get out of it. It has absolutely saved my wrists from working all day at a computer. I didn't want a mouse pad that was covered in cloth because the cloth tends to wear down and look bad, but so far the cloth on this still looks perfect after months of use. The bottom of the pad clings to my desk and does not move or slide around. Highly recommend." —E. McKillip
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in two sizes).
10. A pair of elegant blue-light-blocking glasses so if you typically sit there staring at screens for hours, you'll be less likely to end the day with a blaring headache, strained eyes, and exhaustion. These will help protect your eyes and your mood, and they're nice enough to wear outside too.
Promising review: "OK so I love these glasses so much! The quality is even better than I expected. They are simple enough to go with everything while still being so fashionable. Not to mention my migraines have decreased since I started wearing them. 10/10 would recommend." —Micaela P
Get it from Amazon for $16.98 (available in seven colors).
11. And if that headache creeps up anyway, this roll-on migraine relief stick you'll cry over (and then smile). Loaded with therapeutic essential oils like peppermint and spearmint, this will help ease those headaches — they're not about to ruin your day, no way!
You can apply this to your temples, forehead, and the back of your neck. We here at BuzzFeed swear by this too! Check out our review of the Migrastil Migraine Stick Roll-on to see why we love it.
Promising review: "I have no earthly idea why this works, but it brought me back from the dead after an 11-day headache. I found it worked better to rub it all over my hot pack, zap it in the microwave, and wrap it around the base of my neck. The aromatherapy was great, and it dulled my headache enough to restore my will to live. 5/5." —Katie B.
Get it from Amazon for $11.99.
12. A super cute eyeglasses holder to hold those blue light glasses so you don't end up saying "Where'd my glasses go?" a hundred times a day. This adorable buddy will wear your glasses for you and keep them nice and safe owl day.
Promising review: "I purchased this for myself after getting frustrated at smudging my glasses on my nightstand (yet again) as an offhanded hope that maybe it would make it less of a tap-search for sight when waking again. I will tell you now: Buy Yourself One. This is worth every penny; it’s honestly worth much more. I haven’t put a finger on my lenses since getting this beauty and it doesn’t hurt that it’s an adorable owl that brightens up the space even without it’s eyewear on." —TattdPocahontas
Get it from Amazon for $8.99.
Promising review: "I just assembled this before work, in less than 15 minutes, and have been using it all day. I am VERY pleased with it. It rises and lowers so easily and smoothly and there is plenty of room for my two monitors. The keyboard and mouse fit comfortably on the keyboard tray... Sitting at my desk all day was starting to really hurt my back and shoulders so this was necessary for me. I feel more productive and energized just from standing while I work!" —lauren
Get it from Amazon for $149.99+ (available in two sizes and five colors).
14. An ergonomic office chair that offers lumbar support, padded arms, and back angle adjustability so sitting won't be all that sufferable for you.
Promising review: "I was using a little stool. I finally broke down and bought a real office chair. I really like the yellow color. The chair also has this rocking chair feature, which is cool. It took about 20 minutes to put together and it came well packaged. No damages. This was my first purchase and now I am already planning my next purchase." —Kathleen
Get it from Wayfair for $177.99+ (available in eight colors).
15. A compact heated massager to spoil your limbs because that's so much more preferable to the cramps and tight muscles that come from sitting all day.
My colleague loves this too! See what she has to say below:
"I recently purchased this bad boy as a birthday gift for my momma and after plugging it in and letting it get to work on her shoulders — which she's complained about having pain in for months — she immediately said her shoulders felt lighter. I tried this on my feet and honestly, it's sooooo relaxing! It feels like rolling your feet across tiny lacrosse balls but BETTER because all you have to do is sit there and let this contraption do all the work for you." —Jasmin Suknanan
Get it from Amazon for $59.95.
16. A clean, no-frills desk that'll fulfill your demands but still offers more than meets the eye — it has a power outlet and USB port built in and two drawers for storage plus a pop-up mirror! Now that's more like it.
17. A height-adjustable laptop desk if you don't feel like getting out of bed that day, or you're working from your couch. No more precariously balancing your laptop on your lap and setting your thighs on fire from the overheated fans. This fits your laptop along with snacks, tea, books, and more!
Promising review: "I work from home a lot, and sometimes I love working on my couch. My legs were starting to get sore from the weight on my laptop and cooling fan, and I couldn't use my mouse of course. This little laptop tray is the best $30 I've spent in a long time. It makes working on the couch SO much easier. Thank you!" —T. Taylor

Get it from Amazon for $29.99.
18. And speaking of setting your thighs on fire, this nonslip laptop cooling pad to help prevent your laptop from overheating right when you're in the middle of a very important meeting. Its two built-in USB-powered fans are up to the job!
Promising review: "This thing is a game-changer...literally. I use my laptop for gaming. I like to run games with high-quality graphics, and thus, my computer heats up. In the past, I would put my knees up to give my laptop some breathing room, which is very uncomfortable for long term use. This cooling pad allows my legs and computer to stay cool for long periods of computer usage. The sticky band on the bottom keeps my laptop in place even when I'm moving around. I highly recommend this to anyone that hates their laptop burning their legs." —Scott
Get it from Amazon for $22.99.
19. A coffee warmer you can keep on your desk so you never have to worry about your morning coffee or afternoon tea ever going cold or even lukewarm if you often get so caught up with work that you forget about it. Plus, it has auto shutoff!
Promising review: "I had gone through two other coffee warmers in a month, both of which got raving reviews on Amazon but barely kept coffee warm for 30 minutes. So I decided to splurge on this more expensive one, and BEST DECISION EVER! Not only does it keep your coffee warm, it keeps it HOT on the highest setting. It does an excellent job at keeping your coffee hot for as long as you want, PLUS it is super easy to turn on and off. When you turn it off, it displays the lowest hot setting light to show you the plate is still hot so no unsuspecting burns. This is hands-down the best option on the market." —Elizabeth Harris
Get it from Amazon for $23.99.
20. A small sound spa to calm you with soothing sounds like ocean waves, rain, and wind when you get fidgety from sitting for too long or to block out loud noises from annoying neighbors when you're trying to concentrate on work. With 20 sounds and 30 volume levels, you'll def find your sweet spot!
This is portable and has continuous play and an auto-off timer between one and seven hours.
Promising review: "This was originally purchased for my husband who would be sleeping during the day while the rest of the family would be up making noise. I now use this myself for sleeping every night. I also take inbound calls for work from home and it is now being used every work day in my office. The white noise blocks all of the household noise! I wish I'd had this 10 years ago when I started working from home! Love all the different sounds, the volume levels, and timers, and memory." —Rebecca
Get it from Amazon for $38.99.
21. A soft and supportive drafting chair that's nice and tall, adjustable, and super stylish so it'll look nice in your space too!
Promising review: "I bought this chair to use in my kitchen while cooking because I can't stand for long periods. This works well for the high countertops. It also goes low enough to sit at my dining room table as well. It is really comfortable and great for people that need a chair with good/great support. It was also incredibly easy to put together. I would recommend it to anyone." —Jessica
Get it from Overstock for $116.57+ (available in four colors).
22. A wireless ergonomic mouse because it puts less strain on your wrist, reduces cramping, and allows you to go about your work in peace!
Promising review: "I bought this mouse because I have wrist and lower arm pain. I can't actively use any regular mouse more than one hour at a time without getting some pain... It's comfortable, and this is the most important thing, because so far I can use it for hours and don't have any pains. The wrist isn't twisted like on a regular mouse and I can feel this, for the better. Took me under a day to get adjusted to this angle. An interesting thing about this design is that you feel more inclined to use your whole arm to make mouse movements, which is a good thing, since doing so puts less stress on the wrist." —Dan
Get it from Amazon for $27.99.
23. A back brace to wear over or under your clothes because it'll help fix your posture and ease back, neck, and shoulder pain. We're all guilty of slumping, aren't we?
Promising review: "I been suffering from upper back pain since I got this new job. I constantly sit in front of a computer and I keep slouching. This posture corrector really helps keep my back straight, thus relieving my back pain. It took me a few days to get used to it but otherwise I love it and I’ll keep using it until my body learns to sit straight. Definitely recommend it." —YasmelyTV
Get it from Amazon for $17.99.
24. A cool mist humidifier that'll freshen up the stuffy air in your work space, banish dryness, and get you that nice dewy skin while you're hard at work!
Promising review: "I received my cool mist humidifier yesterday and I have to say, I am very happy I bought it. I work in a small office (my room is not bigger than 6 feet by 10 feet) and with the forced air we have, my nose and throat were always bothering me with such dry air. Now, even if it was only day two of using the machine, I feel and noticed a huge difference with my nose and throat. Great little machine, very helpful and worth the price." —Mary
Get it from Amazon for $39.99.
25. A memory foam lumbar pillow to help relieve back strain and get you that back support and pain relief you need.
Promising review: "The cushion fits my back well. My major is computer science so I am sitting at a computer most of every day. I've had issues with my back for as long as I can remember and have two deteriorating discs in my lower back. With the memory foam, I'm good all day, have significantly less back pain, and have just ordered another one so I don't have to lug it back and forth between home and the office because I refuse to be without it. Great follow up customer service too. Highly recommended." —Ziqi
Get it from Amazon for $29.94 (available in four colors)
26. A computer document clip so you don't have to keep looking up and down when writing down notes or reminders (AKA no more neck pain). Plus, it frees up desk space because you can just hang up the notes instead of having them scattered all about!
Promising review: "THIS stopped all my frequent head and neck aches caused from looking too far down while using the computer at work. Love it." —Dustin Vargas
Get it from Amazon for $10.99.
27. A set of two memory foam armrest pads that'll support your wrists and relieve tension in your elbows and forearms. Pain has no place here.
Promising review: "I started getting elbow pain a few months ago and thought it was due to me commuting by bicycle every day. My brother told me it could be my armrests of the chairs I sit in because he had the same pain and these Aloudy [armrest pads] made his pain go away. I ordered them straightaway, installed then on my Aeron chair and was blown away with how much more comfortable my elbows felt." —Joseph
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in two colors).
28. A foot spa to keep under your desk and pamper your feet with heat bubbles. Get some relief from work stress!
You can set the heat temperature, vibration and bubble settings to your liking. The massaging rollers can be removed if you don't want them.
Promising review: "Works well! The bubbles' pressure is minimal but very relaxing with the vibrating function turned on — which is also minimal and relaxing. The vibration is not intense at all on the floor and it is not ultra-sonic but still operates rather quietly — no need to raise your TV volume. I get to enjoy a nice foot bath at the comfort of my home for a very reasonable price!" —Freddy
Get it from Amazon for $73.99.
