Should my ergonomic chair seat pan tilt forward, backward, or stay flat?

The most useful configuration is an adjustable seat pan that can tilt both forward and backward: a forward tilt of 5–10 degrees promotes an upright, active posture for focused desk work by reducing lumbar compression, while a rearward tilt suits a more relaxed reclined position. Most chairs default to flat or slightly rearward, but if you do precision work — detailed writing, drawing, or assembly — a forward-tilt seat can make a real difference in how long you stay comfortable. Look for a multi-function tilt mechanism that adjusts the seat pan and backrest independently for the most versatility.
