If you’ve ever spent hours at your desk, shifting uncomfortably to find the right position, you’re not alone. The secret to all-day comfort might just lie in one advanced feature: the synchro mechanism.

What is a Synchro Mechanism?

A synchro mechanism allows the backrest and seat of an office chair to move together—just not at the same rate. When you lean back, the backrest reclines at about twice the angle of the seat. This keeps your feet flat on the floor and supports your spine’s natural curve, reducing pressure on the spine and potentially preventing back pain and discomfort.

How Does It Work?

The synchro mechanism operates using a pivot point that connects the seat and backrest. When you lean back, the backrest reclines while the seat adjusts at a gentler angle, ensuring your feet stay flat on the floor. This synchronized motion follows the body’s natural movement, supporting the lumbar region and preventing discomfort during long periods of sitting.

Why You’ll Love It

1. Enhanced Ergonomics: Maintains the spine’s natural curve, reducing the risk of back pain and fatigue.

2. Improved Circulation: Unlike static seating, the dynamic movement encourages blood circulation, reducing the chances of strain, numbness or discomfort.

3. Custom Comfort: Adjustable tension and lockable angles let you tailor the chair to your needs.

4. Productivity Boost: Stay focused longer with a chair that moves with you. A chair with a synchro mechanism minimizes distractions caused by discomfort, helping you stay productive throughout the day.

Synchro Mechanism vs. Other Tilt Mechanisms

While synchro mechanisms are designed for dynamic support, other tilt mechanisms, like knee-tilt or center-tilt, have different functions:

• Knee-Tilt Mechanism: The pivot point is located near the knees, allowing the feet to stay flat on the floor during reclining. However, it lacks the synchronized movement between the seat and backrest.

• Center-Tilt Mechanism: Both the seat and backrest recline together from a pivot point at the chair’s center. While it’s suitable for short breaks, it doesn’t provide the same ergonomic benefits as the synchro mechanism.
