What is a knee-tilt mechanism and how is it different from a standard tilt?

A knee-tilt pivots the seat from a point near your knees — the front edge of the seat — which means the front of the seat stays at roughly the same height as you lean back, so your feet stay on the floor throughout the full recline. A standard tilt pivots from the center of the seat, lifting the front edge upward as you recline and often pulling your feet off the floor. For executives who recline frequently while working, knee-tilt is the more ergonomic and comfortable choice. FindOfficeFurniture.com specifies the tilt type on every chair listing — call 888-719-4960.
