Emotionally, working from the comfort of home can be a blessing. But from a physical comfort or productivity perspective, working from home can become a curse without the right setup. Amazon’s big spring sale is the perfect time to optimize your home office for getting shit done, even if your home office is just a corner of the living room.

An underrated WFH hack is simply keeping your space clean. Even if it’s not a conscious distraction, a mess in the background (or that weird smell coming from the washing machine) is hard to compartmentalize when you’re home all day. So, take advantage of Amazon’s spring cleaning deals and get your annual cleaning done on a day off. And during the week, send in the robot vacuum and put on some noise-cancelling headphones.

For other classic WFH struggles, we’ve rounded up eight essential home jobs for sale on Amazon that will be daily game-changers.

An ergonomic mouse

Why we love it

An ergonomic (or vertical) mouse seems to take some getting used to, but you’d be surprised how natural it feels. These oddly shaped mice hold your hand in a neutral handshake position rather than making you twist your hand to lay flat on a traditional mouse. Relief can be felt from wrist to shoulder.

This wireless vertical mouse from Anker is on sale for less than $20, which is $50 less than the sale price of the popular Logitech Lift Mouse.

A wireless charger

Why we love it

On a stressful day, nothing makes you lose your mind like battling tangled cables when your laptop is about to die. A quick way to declutter your space is to upgrade to a wireless charging station for your phone. This MagSafe stand supports your phone while it charges and can also charge AirPods. The ice blue option is over 50% off during the big spring sale.

A standing desk

Why we love it

Many WFH workers accidentally find themselves taking fewer breaks at the office than in the office, mainly because there are simply fewer reasons to get up at home. A standing desk offers a physical change of pace from an otherwise sedentary workday. The benefits range from relieving back strain or sore legs to improving productivity, especially on days when you fall asleep.

The Comhar FlexiSpot Desk can switch from sitting to standing mode (46.5 inches) with just the press of a button. It also has a built-in drawer and two USB charging ports.

A cervical stretcher

Why we love it

Aside from the workplace, neck and shoulder tension is a fairly universal side effect of staring at a computer for a living. This popular neck stretcher and cervical traction pillow from Restcloud is designed to conform to the natural C-shaped curve of the neck – the antithesis of the technological neck. Lying on it for a few minutes a day can relieve pressure on your neck and spine muscles.

An air purifier

Why we love it

Allergies or not, no one is completely safe from the respiratory irritants that naturally float around our homes. But pollen season is a great time to buy an air purifier on sale — the Blueair Blue Pure 311i Max is our favorite air purifier deal during Amazon’s spring sales. Its HEPA filter silently captures airborne particles known to make us feel crappy, like pollen, dust, mold spores, and pet dander.

The 311i Max can clean up to 1,858 square feet in one hour (the largest capacity of any purifier on sale under $200).

Noise canceling headphones

Why we love them

Read Mashable’s full review of the Sony WH-1000XM6.

A $61.99 discount on headphones doesn’t seem that exciting if the headphones still cost almost $400. But it’s a little different when we’re talking about Sony’s latest flagship headphones, which have only gone on sale a few times in their 10 months on the market.

The WH-1000XM6 and its active noise cancellation are the best money can buy for getting you in the zone at home, whether you need to blast a build during a meeting or blast your eardrums with a focused playlist. Other improvements over the 1000XM5 include an improved mic and overall call quality. Plus, the whole helmet finally folds.

A walking mat

We do not emphasize the importance of taking at least a short walk in the sun over here. But since the typical work schedule doesn’t block free time for a daily hour-long walk, a treadmill is a revolutionary way to get in extra steps throughout the workday.

Make it an under-desk treadmill if you have a standing desk, or step on it while you listen to a presentation without a camera. If you’re really trying to sweat, the Urevo CyberPad can achieve an incline of up to 14%. It’s compact enough to store under most beds or sofas, or can be flipped up to store against a wall.

A curved monitor

Why we love it

The freedom of working from the couch is certainly a perk of working from home, but hunching over like that for days (weeks? months?) can wreak havoc on your body. (Take it from someone who took path too long to organize a legitimate office setup when working from home during COVID.)

Additionally, pairing your work laptop with a monitor that isn’t unpleasant to look at can have a positive impact on productivity. It’s much easier to switch between open tabs when they’re split between two screens, and the slight curvature of my curved screen definitely feels more immersive than a flat screen. The 27-inch Samsung Essential S3 is getting one of the deepest discounts of any monitor deal during the Big Spring Sale, down 36% from its usual price of $179.99.
