What Is the Golden Seat-to-Back Angle?

The Golden Seat-to-Back Angle refers to the Functional Angle, formed by the combination of the seat angle and the seat-to-backrest angle. This ergonomic setup helps stabilize the pelvis, distribute sitting pressure, expand the user's field of vision, and boost social confidence. The ideal range is generally around 110°.

Why Does the Backrest Angle Affect Breathing and Digestion?

When the backrest is too upright or the user slouches, the chest and abdomen are compressed, leading to shallow breathing and poor digestion. A slightly reclined position allows the chest to open up, improving oxygen flow, easing abdominal pressure, and enhancing energy levels.

Can the Golden Seat-to-Back Angle Prevent Pressure Sores?

Not completely. The right sitting angle can help stabilize the pelvis and redistribute pressure across the thighs and buttocks, reducing concentration on the sitting bones. However, preventing pressure sores still requires additional strategies, such as using an air cushion and performing regular pressure-relief movements.

Is There One Universal Golden Angle for Everyone?

No. The Golden Angle serves as a guideline rather than a fixed standard. Since every user's body and mobility needs are different, the ideal angle should be determined through a professional seating assessment by a therapist or assistive device center.
