When should I use the forward tilt feature on an ergonomic chair?

Use the forward tilt when doing tasks that naturally bring you toward the desk — writing by hand, reading printed documents at a low angle, or working with a drawing tablet. Forward tilt (typically 2–5° downward from the front) opens the hip angle, reduces lumbar flexion, and makes it easier to maintain a natural spine curve while leaning in. Don't use forward tilt for monitor work where you're already well-positioned — it's a task-specific tool, not a default setting.
