Ergonomicsmeans a lot of things to a lot of people, but to a company calledErgoQuest Inc., ergonomics means lying down on the job-literally.

Computer workstationErgonomicsmeans a lot of things to a lot of people, but to a company calledErgoQuest Inc., ergonomics means lying down on the job-literally.The Grand Rapids, Michigan-based company manufactures futuristicworkstations designed to allow people to recline in chairs orbeds, while typing away comfortably on their laptop. The designson these workstations look part Star Wars, part E.R., and partLazy-Boy.
Take theModel 500. This metal setup is designed with its support barabove you, so your recliner chair-and you-can fit easilyunderneath the workstation. The Model 500 can hold up to an80-pound monitor or six flat-screen monitors. The metal framerests on four wheels for easy movement around your chair, and theflat displays attach to a motorized platform so you won't have toget up to adjust them.

The Model 300 is a smaller version of the 500 that can handle a50-pound monitor or three flat screens. One step down again insize is the Model 200. Here the workstations start to look morelike fancy desks than command and control consols. The Model 200and its cousin the Model 200L fit one flat panel monitor and alaptop tray that is adjustable and can lean at whatever angle you needthem.

Don't worry if you don't have the proper recline to use with yourErgoQuest laptop workstations. ErgoQuest also makes it own lineof "zero-gravity" recliners, which promise "infinitely"adjustable seating. You can even buy the ErgoQuest MobileRecliner Platform to motorize any of their chairs, leaving youwith a joystick to move the chair in any of 360 degrees. No needto lift but a finger.

The ErgoQuest lineup might not work in the office cube setting,but surely they would be great for lazy freelancers at home, aswell as folks who are disabled, injured, or in some way bettersuited for healthy horizontalcomputing. More information is available atErgoquest.com.
