What's the real difference between a standard tilt and synchro-tilt on an executive chair?

With a standard tilt, the entire seat-and-back assembly pivots backward as one unit — which lifts the front of the seat as you recline and can pull your feet off the floor. Synchro-tilt moves the back and seat at different rates (typically 2:1 or 3:1), so the back reclines fully while the seat barely moves, keeping your feet grounded and your posture more natural throughout. For anyone reclining during active work rather than just taking a rest break, synchro-tilt is the upgrade worth paying for. FindOfficeFurniture.com's mid-to-high executive chairs feature synchro-tilt — call 888-719-4960.
