The ProPlus™ 36 inch VARIDESK® is a smart and health-boosting addition to my home office in my bedroom, enabling and supporting me to work standing up as well as sitting down. It’s meant I mix up my work day, veering between sitting, and standing during my MUMBOSS related hours working from home.
Sitting down for long periods isn’t good for anyone with the NHS even sharing a page dedicated to why we should sit less, advising we reduce sitting time as much as possible it’s linked to type 2 diabetes, some cancers and early death.
The site reads that, ‘Sitting for long periods is thought to slow the metabolism, which affects the body’s ability to regulate blood sugar, blood pressure and break down body fat. This includes watching TV, using a computer, reading, doing homework, travelling by car, bus or train but does not include sleeping’.
We’re all guilty of spending far too much time sat on our backsides so must look at ways to move more. I need to put the hours in with my job so luckily the VARIDESK® can get me out of a literal slump!
Its features include spring-loaded boost mechanism and dual handle design making it super easy to lift, lower and adjust to any of the 11 height settings you might need. My husband and I share the ‘hot desk’ as I veer between that and the kitchen table so we change the height settings to suit ourselves when we use it.

The desk was gifted but my views are honest.
