After testing different mats, seats, and accessories for a standing desk. I found a $13 guitar footrest to be the most useful for improving comfort and focus. It takes the strain off your lower back and puts you in a more ergonomic posture. You can also fidget by rocking it back and forth which can help you focus and stay on task.

GET THE FOOTREST
1️⃣ Neewer Footrest
Durable, widely available, and grips well on workplace surfaces. The Tetra Teknica is the same model. I would check and buy whichever is cheapest.

2️⃣ Hercules Guitar Stand
Wider with a softer rubber platform that feels nicer on bare feet. Otherwise, it's the same as the Neewer Model.

OTHER USEFUL ITEMS I'VE TESTED
3️⃣ ErgoImpact LeanRite - $530 USD
This is the BEST seat I've tested for a standing desk. You can go from leaning to peching and sitting in seconds which helps you select the right posture for how tired or rested you are. I love leaning, it's easy to do and feels more comfortable than standing. This is the only sit-stand seat I think you can use your entire workday.

4️⃣ Ikea Lidkullen - $99 USD
Ikea's Lidkullen Stool is the perfect addition to your standing desk. It reduces fatigue and increases movement which can improve focus and creativity. The 360° tilting-seat allows you to comfortably perch and sit. My video review: [ Ссылка ]

4️⃣ ErgoDriven Topo Mat
This mat has raised surfaces that help you move around throughout the day. I love being able to stretch out my calves and massage my feet on the raised edges. The TopoMat is more supportive, less slippery, and larger than the popular AmazonBasics mat.

5️⃣ Imprint Commerical Flat Mat
I've been using this mat for several years with very little wear and tear. It also grips the floor quite well. Avoid the "Imprint CumulusPro Professional". It's cheaper, less supportive, and generally an inferior product.

7️⃣ Fidget Bars
A swinging bar for your foot that gives you some great movement throughout the day. I like using one from time to time but I think it's too specialized a product for most people. Rogue fitness made the original and it looks better built. However, it's double the price of the VIVO / Mindreader model. Both are made by Lumi, an OEM manufacturer, get whichever is cheaper.
