Steelcase Leap V2 review

The commenter switched from a Steelcase Leap V2 to the Embody and finds the Embody superior for their needs. They note that while the Leap was a good chair, the Embody provides better overall comfort and support for extended sitting sessions. They mention that the transition took a brief adjustment period of about a week, but after that they noticed significant improvements in how they felt at the end of long work days. The reviewer particularly values the Embody's back support design over the more traditional lumbar system in the Leap.

Pros

  • Good chair overall

Cons

  • Less comfortable than Embody
  • Traditional lumbar system not as effective
