I have a chair that tilts back too easily. I weigh 260 and sit with my feet propped up slightly below heart level. Does it have good tilt resistance?

It does! I weight 290 and tilt resistance is rather good. It holds up his big guy!

This chair is great for a person 260, I weigh over 300. The chair is rated to 400lbs., the tilt can be adjusted, as can the seat height, and the headrest is right on time.

I weigh 345. The tilt tension is adjustable, setting how much pressure for the tilt back when I recline. It is firm and comfortable. If you have the tilt locked in the upright position it will not pop loose and tilt back which has been an issue for me with cheap chairs. Once tilted back and reclined it's very sturdy. I recline back that way and fall asleep in this thing way too often! You cannot loose with this chair.

The tilt resistance is decent, but not super-tight. I am weight 250 and usually sit erect, so I am not certain about continuous reclining. I have the tension on maximum and with that setting it requires a light push with the legs to recline. Releasing pressure will result in the chair returning to upright position. I would say that I am pleased with the recline resistance.

The chair can lock upright or tilt back maybe 15-20 degrees if you unlock the recline lever under the seat by pulling it outwards

monitor has a nice range of tilt, for tall and short folks. I am 6 feet tall and the wife is 5 feet tall chair does not adjust so the monitor adjustments are used and works fine for us.

It does not tilt. I had to put a large book under mine to raise the level for computer work.

The back does tilt, and can be locked by "pushing" the side bar in to the mounting of the chair, though there may still be about an inch you can tilt the chair back. Most office chairs are exactly the same.

I was surprised mine leaned back. Usually these simple computer chairs don't do that. It doesn't lean back to the point I fall though. Check knob underneath and turn one way, lean back, then turn the other way and lean back. If that doesn't fix it, retighten all screws with allen wrench. Still doesn't work then something is faulty.

Yea it barely tilts back I think it's suppose to help you have good posture

not if you mean that it will decline to the point of being parallel with the floor. The back is flexible, however. The back of my chair probably declines 30 degrees from the vertical. I assume but haven't checked, that the amount of give can be varied. I think it is a great chair.

Hi, I have this chair and it really is awesome. Unfortunately it the seat does not tilt forward. : ( Other than that super comfy. I am 5' 4" and some arm rests do not come up high enough for me, these do. And they are adjustable. Hope this helps you choose a chair. Betty

My recliner actually was in a constant tilted position. When I would rock, I literally felt like I was falling completely backwards. So in my opinion, yes it reclines way too much. We trashed it after just two months.

This chair tilts back as much as any of them .which is good for a big chair.me and my boys are all big /250 to 300+/weight lifters..we went through chairs...untill I got this one...was well worth the money

I flipped the hinge on mine so that it would not rock backward at all. Very comfortable computer chair but the catch is that your computer desk must be extremely low. I was using an adjustable shelf system (like the kind used in those expensive closet organizer systems from elfa) as a desk surface so I was able to bring my desk down to accomodate. Without the adjustable height desk this chair would NOT otherwise work for PC gaming.

I have noticed a very very slight tilt. It's only noticeable if I pull my feet off the ground and lean the chair all the way back. If I do that it will start to spin very slowly. I figured that it was due to the fact that I lean it pretty heavy anyways and I am 6'4" and 350lbs, so not a little person. Other than that the padding and stitching and everything else is still in fantastic shape. I have only had it for 6 months but I spend probably 12+ hours a day in it.

I do not know. I am 230 pounds and have no issues with the chairs stability. I will say that after having used the chair now for one year, that I literally have had no back spasms (something I suffered from irregularly, yet sometimes quite often). It did take me about 6 months to totally adapt to the chair. I recommend you switch back and forth with a regular chair. You will slowly adapt to it and it does improve your core strength.

You cannot adjust and set a tilt level. It either locked in upright position or tilts freely (up to 30-35 degree). Stiffness of the tilting spring is adjustable though from easy tilt to requiring some degree of push.

Does not tilt - just goes up and down. The mechanism for the up & down action isn't super robust either - kinda slides up and down even after the knob has been firmly tightened (slick plastic clamp on slick metal tubes). This is not a really great quality seat - pretty low quality Chinese product - but it is cheap so can't expect too much. Good luck.

Hi Jim, Your feet are elevated at the same time you lean back it is a smooth action. Also it is very easy to put the feet down just push down on the foot and lean forward. I love my chair.
