Steelcase Leap V2 review

The original poster is interested in the Leap V2 specifically for reclining and pressure relief when tired but not ready for bed. They note that the chair can tilt to 135 degrees and lock at that angle, which NASA considers the optimal degree for pressure relief. They are specifically asking whether it works well as a recline-relax chair with the headrest in place, suggesting they want to use it for extended relaxation periods while seated.

Pros

  • Can tilt to 135 degrees and lock at that angle
  • 135 degrees is considered by NASA to be the best angle for pressure relief
