 The idea of this chair come from the Scottish radiologists, which confirmed in a study last year that a 130-degree angle of recline between torso and thighs reduces pressure on the discs in the lower back. This office chair is more comfortable than the famous Aeron chair (ergonomic office chair by Herman Miller). Designers find that the features of chairs like the levers and knobs—recline tension, lumbar support, seat-pan depth, forward tilt are commonly ignored by users, who only think to change the chair’s height.
 This neglect has manufacturers such as Herman Miller and Humanscale looking toward the next frontier: a self-adjusting chair. “We’re working on a chair that will listen to who’s sitting on it and adjust itself to their weight,” says Bill Dowell, director of research at Herman Miller, which makes the Aeron. Humanscale’s Freedom chair includes a counterbalance system that adjusts itself like scales to the sitter’s weight as he or she reclines, eliminating the need for recline controls
