Ergonomics is the study of designing equipment and devices that fit the human body, its movements, and its cognitive abilities.
The International Ergonomics Association defines ergonomics as follows:
Ergonomics (or human factors) is the scientific discipline concerned with the understanding of interactions among humans and other elements of a system, and the profession that applies theory, principles, data and methods to design in order to optimize human well-being and overall system performance.

Similar to workplace ergonomics, home ergonomics is the science and study of designing tools and furniture which are ideal for home occupants in order to optimize their well-being and overall performance.
Thus, here are a few ergonomic designs which you can consider:
- Ergonomic Chair (Aeron work stool wins Attendees' Choice Award from the National Ergonomics Conference and Exposition 2006)
- Ergonomic Sofa (How To Know If Your Sofa Is Ergonomic)
- Ergonomic Mattress and Pillow (Ergonomic Pillow: Memory foam, Body or Contour Pillows)
- Ergonomic Kitchen (Kitchen Work Triangle & Ergonomics Lighting for the Kitchen)
- Ergonomic Tools (Top Ergonomic Cooking Tools found on the market, The Ergonomic Knife, Garden Tools, mouse and keyboard)
- Ergonomic Storeroom
Application of ergonomic should not stop once we leave our workplace. In fact, we should pay close attention to such so that we can improve our well-being and overall performance. :)
