Crafting comfort in every workspace.
Workplaces should fit people, not the other way around. ErgoCotton is an independent ergonomics-led occupational health consultancy — quiet, evidence-based, and built around the small adjustments that quietly transform how a team feels at the end of the day.
We're a non-clinical Occupational Health Technician (OHT) practice. We handle the compliance, surveillance and ergonomics work in-house, and refer onward to partner clinicians whenever clinical interpretation is needed.

About the founder
Hello, I’m Dee — and comfort shouldn’t be a luxury.
I’m Dee Yovonie, founder of ErgoCotton. From East Sussex, I help people and small teams make long hours of sitting, typing, reading and desk work more comfortable.
My background in occupational health and health ergonomics helps me spot where everyday work creates strain — and turn that insight into practical assessments, thoughtful tools and clear recommendations.
ErgoCotton exists because comfort should not be a luxury. It should be thoughtfully designed into the way we work. Everything I offer is tested, refined and shaped by the standard I expect in my own workspace: practical, considered and genuinely useful.
If you choose ErgoCotton, you get me — listening first and recommending only what will genuinely help your people work with greater comfort and confidence.

What we do
A practice woven around your people
From single workstation reviews to enterprise-wide health surveillance — calm, precise, evidence-based work.
Health Surveillance
Audiometry, spirometry, HAVS, and skin checks — onsite, confidential, and translated into plain English.
Ergonomics & DSE
Workstations shaped around the person — onsite, remote, or hybrid, with recommendations your team will actually use.
Risk-Based Screening
Proportionate screening for noise, respiratory, vibration, fatigue, and MSK discomfort.
SME OH Compliance
Right-sized occupational health for organisations without an in-house team.
Manager Support
Templates, scripts, and coaching that give line managers confidence in health conversations.
Training & Micro-Learning
Bite-sized sessions that turn theory into habit — for office, industrial, and hybrid teams.
Our approach
Quiet expertise. Measurable outcomes.
We believe occupational health should feel less like a tick-box and more like a thoughtful collaboration. Every engagement starts with listening — to your people, your data, and the texture of your day-to-day.
