What is the forward tilt feature on an ergonomic chair and who needs it?

Forward tilt tips the front of the seat pan slightly downward — about 5°–10° — which opens your hip angle to 100°–110° and naturally encourages an upright, active posture that takes pressure off your lumbar spine. It's especially useful if you do a lot of detailed forward-focused work like drafting, drawing, or fine manual tasks. It's a premium feature found on higher-end ergonomic chairs, not a standard on every model.
