What is a synchro-tilt mechanism and why does it matter on an ergonomic chair?

A synchro-tilt mechanism links the backrest and seat so that the seat tilts at a lower ratio (2:1 or 3:1) than the backrest — keeping the seat nearly horizontal and maintaining a comfortable hip angle during recline. For extended reclined work postures, synchro-tilt is an important ergonomic feature. FindOfficeFurniture.com notes the tilt mechanism type on ergonomic chair specs — call 888-719-4960.
