Ergonomic Chairs — Expert Answer
What backrest recline angle is best for an ergonomic chair during work?
Research supports a backrest angle of 100°–110° from vertical as optimal for spinal disc pressure during seated work — slightly reclined, not bolt upright. A perfectly vertical (90°) backrest actually increases lumbar disc compression compared to a slight recline. For active typing tasks, 100°–105° is ideal; for reading or reviewing, 110°–115° reduces neck load. A tilt lock that holds these angles during work lets you settle into the right position without constantly fighting to stay in place.
