Which tilt mechanism type is most comfortable on an executive chair?

Synchro-tilt mechanisms are generally considered the most comfortable for all-day use. They move the seat and backrest at different rates (typically 2:1, meaning the back reclines twice as far as the seat tilts), keeping the thighs nearly flat throughout the recline range and maintaining proper back support. Standard tilt (where seat and back move together at the same rate) can cause the front edge of the seat to press into the thighs during recline. Knee-tilt mechanisms pivot near the front of the seat, keeping feet on the floor throughout the recline. Multi-function mechanisms typically include all of these options. For executive chairs used for full work days, synchro-tilt or multi-function is the preferred choice — call 888-719-4960 for FindOfficeFurniture.com selections.
