1. A cooling memory foam seat cushion perfect for relieving pressure on your tailbone, hips, and lower back while sitting for long periods of time — making your office chair the absolute best seat in the house.
The velour cover zips off for easy cleaning in the washing machine.
Promising review: "I've purchased similar items in the past that visually looked like this but were stiff and rigid. This is amazing. Totally eased my back pain from my quarantine-at-home desk job. Highly recommend." —Bellarosa555
Get it from Amazon for $44.99+ (also available in seven colors).
2. A slim laptop stand to elevate your laptop to eye level and make the days of scrunching over to type a long-lost memory. Plus, it's a much better solution for ventilation so your laptop doesn't overheat and make that whizzing sound that is sure to make your eye twitch after a few minutes.
This stand fits any laptop from 10–15.6 inches and can be easily disassembled into three parts for easy transportation. I have one of these that I use for both my work and my personal laptop, and believe me when I say how useful it is in my daily life. My keyboard is now positioned as a comfy height, and the screen actually is at eye level!
Promising review: "This has helped my neck pain and workflow. I'm used to working in an office with monitors and this made a big difference in my work from home experience by putting my screen at a comfortable eye level. The material is good quality, feels sturdy, and was simple to assemble. It comes in three pieces and is intuitive to put together without looking at directions. There are pads on the top to keep your laptop from sliding. I'm using it with a 15-inch laptop and it's a good fit. I did get a wireless keyboard to use with it, which I would recommend. If you were to try to type on your laptop keyboard with this, it would be uncomfortable. I bought it for the ergonomics, but as a bonus, I am liking how it helps me keep my desk organized with the extra space beneath. Great product!" —M

3. A pair of affordable wireless Bluetooth earbuds perfect for those boring Zoom calls when you wanna spend the meeting whippin' something up in the kitchen instead of tethered to your computer by unnecessary cords. Plus, they come with a handy travel/charging case AND they connect to your devices in just one easy step.
Promising review: "These are the first pair of wireless buds I have purchased, previously using only the single over-ear type pieces. I expected to have difficulty pairing, but these paired the first time super easy. The volume and sound is significantly better than my old style. Nice little charging and travel case, and a variety of sizes of silicone buds to fit your size/preference. Update — after using these a few weeks I am still very pleased with this earbuds. Good value for the price!" —J. L. Hoover
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in two sizes and six colors).
4. A clip-on ring light for those meetings where you actually WANT your pretty face to be seen rather than the shadowy figure that usually graces the lil' box displaying your name.
This USB-powered ring light has three light colors and 10 different brightness levels, with an anti-scratch metal clamp.
Promising review: "Being new to the tech world I was concerned about being able to use this light to best effect, but turns out it is so simple to set up and has made all the difference in how I look and how people can see items I want to show them on Zoom calls. I did find the clamp to be too tight for my older hands to manage but found it works quite well sitting on the desktop." —me
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
5. A discreet webcam slide cover if you don't trust the "camera off" button in Google Meets and want to ensure your complete privacy.
This pack of six is universally compatible with laptops, tablets, and phones of all kinds!
Promising review: "Have worked from home for years, but in the wild days of 2020 our company decided to do video calls regularly for the first time. With that, I needed a solution that made it easier to continue to block the webcam on my computer most of the time while not being a hassle to remove for these calls. I had been using a folded piece of paper, which was certainly easy and effective — until the wind from open windows would blow it away. So, these little guys perfectly solved the problem — it's tiny and subtle (much better looking than a folded piece of paper ;) and so easy to open/close as needed." —Hope
Get a six-pack from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in four styles).
6. A lemon-scented cleaning gel to clean up that keyboard that's been infested with the crumbs from your lunch. Long gone are the days of your keys getting stuck due to the dust and food particles that have been accumulating for months; just use this putty to safely clean it all up.
Promising review: "I was skeptical at first. I was afraid my keyboard would be all gummed up with yellow slime! What happened was the opposite. It cleaned it as good as new. Got all those dog hairs between the keys! No smell lingering on keyboard or my hands. No sign I even used it except a clean keyboard. Kind of fun to play with too; you can squeeze it between your fingers!" —ZZZZZZ
Get it from Amazon for $5.91.
7. An adjustable phone stand so your phone is propped up and charged for easy TikTok scrolling when you're tired of looking at Excel sheets.
Promising review: "Just love this mobile holder. I have spent some hours video chatting and this helps me to chat easily without holding and stressing my hand. Very durable and moves up and down. You can put it anywhere, which is especially good for me when I'm cooking and chatting with family and friends. No more stress of keeping the mobile anywhere and have scratches on it." —Sia
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in nine colors).
8. An under-desk bike if you've been meaning to get some exercise but just can't seem to peel yourself away from the desk long enough to burn those calories.
It works with desks as low as 27 inches. If you're tall or you have long legs, you can still use it while working from the couch.
Promising review: "Really perfect for me. I have averaged about 50 miles per day and have lost four pounds in one week. Really well built and totally silent. I'm 5'8" and I do have to sit in a low chair but it works well and I do computer work and talk on the phone while burning about 1,000 calories a day! You can't beat that. I was looking at more expensive solutions but I won't look anymore. Completely satisfied." —Phil
Get it from Amazon for $127.49+ (available in four colors).
9. A glam petaled desk chair so you can work in comfort without sacrificing your love of aesthetics. Lounge in style with this plush chair that comes with an included lumbar pillow for extra support.
Promising review: "I love the material. It’s soft and won't scratch the walls. It’s comfy. I love the wheels because it’s easy to push around." —Diane DeRosier
Get it from Amazon for $94.25+ (available in six colors).
10. Or a breathable ergonomic mesh chair if you want the comfiest chair possible to support you during your work day. It has flip-down armrests, an adjustable headrest, AND lumbar support so your back feels like it's being cradled by clouds as you type away.
Promising review: "Easy assembly, great quality, and it feels wayyyy better than a budget-friendly chair option (take it from me, I've gone the cheap route before). I'm very happy with this purchase. It looks just like the picture and it feels great to sit in. I spend far too many hours daily at my desk so I needed a comfortable chair that went with the aesthetic of my office space and this chair delivers. If you sit at your desk for a many hours as I do, spend the extra money on a good chair like this one. Your back will thank you!" —Lameca
Get it from Amazon for $129.99+ (available in seven colors).
11. A full HD portable monitor when just one screen isn't possibly enough, and you need to be productive no matter where you work. This will make it all too easy to answer emails and check your spreadsheets while staying completely engaged and present during your meetings. Just connect this monitor to your laptop and watch as your workspace practically doubles.
Promising review: "I work remotely, so I ordered two of these monitors to use when working outside of my home office. They both fit inside my small backpack perfectly along with my laptop and have great matte displays. The covers are high quality and do work well as stands, though I would consider getting a portable monitor stand if you don’t like looking down at your monitor(s). This product comes with all of the cables you could possibly need to hook up to your computer/laptop." —Matt
Get it from Amazon for $69.99.
12. And an adhesive monitor clip you can stick onto your screen to hold up to 30 large pieces of paper that you need to keep organized and on hand. Next time Oscar from accounting needs you to pull up those numbers from Q1, you won't need to fumble around your desk to find the correct sheet — just swing it forward for a quick reference.
Promising review: "I love this product. I always buy one when I move into a new office. It’s basic, but it works. Clip adheres very well to my computer monitor when both services are clean and dry. Use some rubbing alcohol to clean both services before trying to adhere it. I like this document clip because it helps me be more productive. I also use it to hold papers that need my immediate attention if I am not doing data entry. In summary, I’ve purchased this product many times for a reason. It does the job with no frills and it’s a great value!" —Cassidy
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.
13. A memory foam lumbar pillow that will provide instant lower back support — a necessity when your job requires you to be hunched over a laptop or keyboard for hours at a time. Just strap this breathable pillow onto any chair to make it a much comfier seat!
Promising review: "Since COVID started, both my fiancé and I work from home. He has a proper office and office chair and I work at our dining room table. I figured it was time to invest in something to help my back while sitting all day. Works really well! I should have done this months ago." —Emily Racioppi
Get it from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in nine colors).
14. A colorful wireless keyboard and mouse set to add a pop of color to your workspace without a bunch of wires dragging you down.
The set includes a wireless keyboard and a wireless mouse with a USB receiver. Pick up some AA batteries — both will need them!
Promising review: "Every time I walk into my red office and see this beautiful keyboard it makes me happy. It looks just like it does in the photo. It's such a jolt of color and with its cool circular retro buttons, it's just a pleasure to use. If you need a pick-me-up (and who doesn't this year?) I can't recommend this highly enough." —CA-girl
Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in 13 styles).
15. A UV-free sunlight therapy lamp so you can have the illusion of leaving your home without... you know... actually stepping away from your desk.
Read more about how light therapy can potentially help with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) from Cleveland Clinic.
Promising review: "I was extremely skeptical if this light would do anything. I live in the Chicago area where during the winter we often do not get any sun. After about 10 days passed with no sun, I felt like I needed something to make me feel better. After using it for a few days now I actually do feel better and I had VERY low expectations that it would do anything. I'm pleasantly surprised and highly suggest it. It's small and sits on my desk, and is very easy to work." —Jeff S. Katz
Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in three colors).
16. An adjustable foam footrest you can place under your desk to give your feet some much-needed elevated support. And if you're the restless type (cough, me, cough), just flip the footrest over, and it can rock back and forth.
The cover comes off and can be tossed in the washing machine for easy cleaning.
Promising review: "GAME changer. I have slowly built up my perfect ergonomic setup at home and this was the last piece! It has helped my circulation and relieved pressure on my lower back." —Brian Kim
Get it from Amazon for $45.95+ (available in mesh or velvet, and three colors).
17. A cable storage box that you can stick under your desk so the highways of cords you got going on don't even show. Hide all those wires from view so you can concentrate on your work rather than the knots of cables marring your aesthetic office.
Promising review: "I'm so happy with this organizer box. I can't stand a heap of tangled cords going every which way. I've got two AC adapter boxes in there. Also in the box is a small power supply, the cord for the iMac I use, and a long USB cord plugged into my charging station. It's awesome." —Ben W
Get it from Amazon for $37.99+ (available in four styles).
18. A sneaky undetectable mouse jiggler because you should have the freedom to get up from your desk, even when working from the comfort of your home. Now, you no longer have to scarf down that morning croissant for fear of showing up as "inactive" on Slack or Teams. Feel free to take your time enjoying that coffee — this jiggler has got you covered.
Promising reviews: "This product is better than sliced bread! My employer switched to Microsoft Teams, which goes into an idle status after five minutes. You can be seated in front of your laptop working, but if you don't move the darn mouse every four minutes, you show as inactive. The biggest pain in the butt ever! This product works! I laid my mouse on it, and I was never in an idle status unless I put myself in one. I'm a huge fan! And it doesn't hurt that it is pretty as well as functional. If you have a nosy employer, you need this." —Katharine Morris
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in four styles).
19. An adjustable standing desk converter so you can take those important standing breaks your Apple Watch keeps begging you to take. Now you can easily get out of your seat without having to actually step away from work — and have your monitor comfortably elevated to eye level when standing or sitting down.
Promising review: "I hate just sitting at my desk all day and this product had very good reviews so I decided to try it and I am SOOO GLAD I did. It is so easy to assemble and adjust up and down. It has plenty of space for me to put things like my mouse pad, speakers, office supplies, candy jar, etc. to make up for the space being taken up on my actual desk. It has the tiniest bit of a wobble when fully extended but it is still very sturdy and it in no way hampers my work flow. I love having the flexibility to stand and stretch my legs for a bit whenever I want and my a$$ is thanking me too!!" —Ginger B.
Get it from Amazon for $119.99+ (available in seven sizes and in nine colors).
20. Or an electric standing desk for you WFH folks who are exhausted after sitting All. Day. Long. It can raise up with just the push of a button to four preset heights — so you can stretch your legs while answering emails and nursing that morning cup of joe.
Promising review: "Bought this desk for my wife. She was surprised to get this. Working from home and using the dining room table causes back and neck pain. The desk was very easy to put together (took approximately 30 minutes). With only one motor, movement is smooth. Easy to program settings. I would not put anything very heavy in the drawer, but it’s very handy and my wife loves it. The USB for phone cord on the controller switch is a great idea! So far she really likes it. There is enough room for the cat to lounge as well as ride up when the wife needs to stand. Wasn’t clear that the top of the desk is in two parts, but wife doesn’t seem to care. It has four memory settings which is nice." —SCrisp
Get it from Amazon for $119.99+ (available in four sizes and in five colors).
21. Plus, an anti-fatigue mat because its high-density PU provides relief to your achy muscles and joints, so those of you who decide to take those standing breaks during the workday will have a MUCH comfier time doing so.
22. A souped-up lap desk for the days you wanna take your work into another room but don't feel like balancing the quickly over-heating laptop on your bare legs. This comes with a built-in mouse pad, wrist supports, and phone/tablet holders — everything you need to bring the comfort of your desk straight to your bed.

Get it from Ngo Creations on Etsy for $16 (available in three colors).
24. A six-outlet extender perfect for those obnoxiously large chargers that take up all of the real estate on your wall outlets and make it impossible to charge anything else. Plus, it lights up, so you don't have to turn on those blindingly bright lights when you're just trying to plug in one of your devices at night.
Promising review: "So happy that I bought this beautiful wall charger. It looks much more expensive than what I have paid. The six outlets are so nicely positioned that I can use all of them at the same time. Two USB outputs are ideal for charging our phones. Highly recommend!" —Elaine
Get it from Amazon for $17.97+ (available in two sizes and three colors).
25. Or an aesthetic flexible power strip because even your obnoxiously large chargers deserve to look pretty when plugged in — plus, you can actually use every single outlet instead of half of them being covered by large blocks.
iJoy is a small business selling a variety of tech accessories, speakers, and headphones.
Promising review: "I rarely write a review (this is the second in the past few years). One of the best purchases in a long time. Nice design and very practical. It solves all of my problems as it can go any direction. It's worth every penny. I turned around and bought two more. I am about to buy my fourth one. Love this!" —Pond P.
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in three colors).
26. A mesh metal multi-drawer monitor stand for the office supplies littering the look of your perfect workspace. It'll fit under your monitor so your collection of highlighters actually has a home — rather than strewn all over your desk.
Promising review: "Bought this to elevate my HP Envy 5660 printer, which fits across the entire top of the stand — tired of having to bend over it. There is absolutely no bowing of the top shelf it rests on. The drawers open and close with ease. The bottom drawer holds a good amount of extra printer paper and the top divided drawer (you could stack them either way) has three large sections for storing ink cartridges, various office supplies or other miscellaneous items. Although a little pricey, this unit should last about forever." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $25.49+ (available in black and white).
