What is the forward tilt feature on an ergonomic chair?

Forward tilt allows the front of the seat pan to angle slightly downward (5°–10°), opening the hip angle to 100°–110° and encouraging an upright, active posture that reduces lumbar compression. It is particularly useful for fine manual work, drawing, or any forward-focus task. Forward tilt is a feature of premium ergonomic chairs.
