What is a knee-tilt mechanism on an executive chair?

A knee-tilt mechanism pivots the seat from a point at the front edge of the seat pan — near the user's knees. This keeps the front of the seat at a consistent height when reclining, allowing the feet to remain on the floor throughout the full tilt range. Knee-tilt is the most ergonomically supportive standard tilt type for executives who recline frequently. It is distinct from the standard tilt (pivot at center) and synchro-tilt (back and seat move independently). At OfficeFurniture2go.com, we specify tilt type on every chair — call 1-800-460-0858.
