Steelcase Leap V2 review

This commenter goes into detail about posture and its relationship to perceived seat comfort. They explain that if someone is tilted forward with weight on their feet, they won't feel the full seat cushion and might perceive it as hard. Conversely, if someone reclines too much, they'll slide forward and again not experience proper seat support. They argue that when properly positioned - sitting back with weight distributed correctly on the seat - the chair should feel appropriately cushioned. They maintain that complaints about hardness often stem from weight distribution issues related to posture rather than the actual firmness of the materials. Their view is that proper sitting technique is essential to experiencing the chair's comfort features as designed.

Pros

  • Properly cushioned when sitting correctly
  • Good support with proper weight distribution

Cons

  • Requires specific posture to feel comfortable
  • Easy to sit incorrectly and experience discomfort
