What is a tilt lock on a conference chair and when would you use it?

A tilt lock mechanism allows the user to lock the backrest in the upright or slightly reclined position, preventing the chair from tilting further. This is useful in formal meeting environments where full recline looks unprofessional, for users who prefer upright stability, or for presentations where a locked upright posture projects attentiveness. Most conference chairs include a tilt lock via a lever or paddle under the seat. For less formal environments, leaving tilt unlocked allows healthy postural micro-movement throughout a long meeting.
