Anthros has five tilt positions, which together make up Decompress Mode. Three lock in place, and two are unlocked.
Locked positions
Active (about –2°): a slight forward tilt for upright, high-focus tasks.
Standard (about 1°): your neutral, upright position. This is how the chair ships.
5-degree tilt (5°): a tilted working position that lets you relax back into the chair while keeping your head and spine aligned. Recommended for long work sessions.
Unlocked positions
Free Float: moves smoothly between about –2° and 8°, depending on the tension you set. Recommended for long work sessions.
Full Decompress (16°): the deepest tilt, for stretching, breaks, or phone calls. Not recommended for computer work, because your head tends to come forward.
Every position keeps your posture supported as you tilt, without sliding or collapsing. For most of the workday, we recommend the 5-degree tilt or Free Float.
