Emotionally, working in the comfort of your home can be a blessing. But from a physical comfort or productivity standpoint, working from home can turn into a curse without the right setup. Amazon’s Big Spring Sale is the perfect time to upgrade your home office to get some serious stuff done, even if your home office is just in the corner of the living room.

One hack under WFH is to keep your site clean. Even if it’s not a noticeable distraction, the mess in the background (or that weird smell from the washing machine) is hard to distinguish when you’re at home all day. So, take advantage of Amazon’s spring cleaning deals and get your annual cleaning out of the way on the day off. And during the week, send in the robot vacuum and throw on the noise-cancelling headphones.

From some of WFH’s classic struggles, we’ve selected eight tasks from home essentials sold on Amazon that will change the game every day.

Ergonomic mouse

Why we love you

An ergonomic mouse (or stationary mouse) looks like it will take some getting used to, but you’d be surprised how natural it feels. These oddly shaped mice keep your hand in a neutral handshake position rather than making you twist your hand to lie down on a traditional mouse. Relief can be felt from the wrist to the shoulder.

This wireless standing mouse from Anker retails for less than $20, making it $50 less than the retail price of the Logitech Lift Mouse.

Wireless charger

Why we love you

On a stressful day, nothing puts you over the edge like fighting tangled cables when your laptop is about to die. Another quick way to declutter your space is to switch to a wireless charging station for your phone. This MagSafe stand props up your phone while charging and can also charge AirPods. The glacier blue option is over 50% off during the Big Spring Sale.

A standing desk

Why we love you

Many WFHs accidentally find themselves taking fewer desk breaks than they used to at the office, mostly because there are fewer reasons to get up at home. A standing desk provides a physical change of pace from an otherwise sedentary workday. The benefits range from relieving back or leg pain to improving productivity, especially on days when you nod off.

The FlexiSpot Comhar desk can switch from standing mode (46.5 inches) at the push of a button. It also has a built-in drawer and two USB charging ports.

Cervical outline

Why we love you

Workplace aside, neck and shoulder tension is a universal positive effect of staring at a computer for a living. This popular neck brace and cervical traction pillow from Restcloud is designed to hug the C-shaped neck curve — the opposite of a technical neck. Sleeping on it for just a few minutes a day can reduce stress on the muscles of the neck and spine.

An air purifier

Why we love you

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

The 311i Max can clean 1,858 square feet per hour (the largest capacity of any commercial cleaner 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 when the headphones still cost around $400. But it’s a little different when we talk about Sony’s latest headphones, which have sold out several times in their 10 months on the market.

The WH-1000XM6 with its active noise cancellation is the best you can buy to get you into the environment at home, whether you need to shut down the build-up during a meeting or blast your headphones with an immersive playlist. Other improvements from the 1000XM5 include an improved microphone and overall call quality. Also, all headsets eventually fold.

Travel pad

We cannot stress the importance of going on at least a short walk in the sun here. But since a regular work schedule doesn’t allow for time off for an hour-long daily commute, a walking pad is a game-changing way to get in extra steps throughout the work day.

Make it an under-desk treadmill if you have a standing desk, or jump in and watch while listening to a closed-camera presentation. If you’re actually trying to sweat, the Urevo CyberPad can reach 14 percent. It’s compact enough to store under many beds or couches, or it can be folded up for wall storage.

A curved monitor

Why we love you

The freedom of working from the couch is definitely the pro of working from home, but hunkering down like that for days (weeks? months?) can eventually take a toll on your body. (Take it from the person who took it way (It’s too long to adjust to a formal desk setup when working from home during COVID.)

Also, pairing your work laptop with a monitor that doesn’t care about looks can have a positive effect on productivity. It’s much easier to jump between 30 open tabs when spread between two screens, and the slight curvature of my curved display feels more immersive than a flat screen. The 27-inch Samsung Essential S3 has one of the biggest discounts of all monitor deals during the Big Spring sale, down 36% from its usual $179.99.
