In the words of an ofinto customer
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ " Very comfortable. Finally a tilting seat."
(U. Quaderer)
What is the seat-tilt function on the ofinto Active?
The seat tilt function allows the seat of the chair to be tilted forwards by approx. 4°. This creates a slightly inclined sitting position, with the thighs slightly downwards and the upper body slightly upwards.
This mechanism can be used with the ofinto Active as an option. The function is activated or deactivated using a simple lever under the seat.
How does the seat tilt function work?
The seat-tilt function of the ofinto Active is based on a clever mechanism that allows the seat to be tilted forwards continuously by approx. 4°.
Compared to conventional office chairs, this results in a much more natural pelvic position. The upper body straightens up while the thighs point slightly downwards - just like in a dynamic, upright sitting posture.
The tilt is infinitely adjustable and can be switched on or off at any time using a lever.
The advantages of the seat-tilt function
The advantages of a seat-tilt function are many and varied:
- Promotes active, dynamic sitting: The inclined seat surface encourages you to change your sitting position and change posture more often.
- More natural pelvic position: the thighs point slightly downwards, the pelvic bone does not tilt backwards. This ensures that the spine is ideally stretched.
- Better blood circulation: The leg arteries are not kinked, blood circulation is measurably improved.
- Relieves pressure on the spine: the intervertebral discs are relieved of pressure and can regenerate. Stress pain is reduced.
- Encourages a change of position: The tilt encourages you to change your posture more often and thus prevent one-sided strain.
How the seat tilt function improves your sitting posture
The graphic illustration shows how the seat-tilt function of the ofinto Active can significantly improve sitting posture.
The slightly forward-sloping seat ensures that the pelvis and upper body are naturally upright. This relieves pressure on the spine and prevents a hollow back.
At the same time, the tilt means that you automatically change your sitting position more often and thus prevent back problems.
Scientifically proven: A slight tilt of the seat is good for your health
Numerous scientific studies have shown that tilting the seat forward by 3-5° makes orthopaedic sense and improves your posture.
- According to a study published by the University of Copenhagen in the specialist journal "Ergonomics", a slight seat tilt reduces the strain on the spine and supports its natural curvature.
- Research from the University of Illinois shows that an inclined seat activates the thigh muscles - good for posture and balance.
- Ergonomics experts at New York University discovered that a seat tilt enables a relaxed, balanced position with a forward-leaning posture.
In short: a slightly inclined seat has been proven to make sitting more back-friendly and prevent tension.
Flexible sitting: Can be switched on and off at any time
A major advantage of the seat-tilt function in the ofinto Active is that it can be easily switched on and off using a lever under the seat.
This allows you to switch between the standard sitting position and the 4° forward-leaning position depending on the situation. You have the flexibility to adjust your sitting position to your current needs at any time.

- Active, dynamic sitting is encouraged
