Steelcase Leap V2 review

The commenter echoes others' recommendation of the refurbished Leap V2 from BTOD, noting that with the 1/2 in added foam, it may be a good option for someone with tailbone/coccyx issues. However, they warn that the seat cushion on a new Leap V2 is notorious for being too firm for many people initially, and while many people eventually get used to it, some never do and find it uncomfortable long-term. The commenter highly recommends the Anthros as an alternative, describing it as having a very thickly padded seat cushion and a padded headrest, and notes it is expensive.

Pros

  • Can be purchased refurbished with added foam from BTOD
  • May help with tailbone/coccyx issues with foam addition

Cons

  • Seat cushion is notoriously too firm for many people initially
  • Some people never get used to the firm cushion
