Steelcase Leap V2 review

The commenter explains that the remanufactured Leap V2 from Crandall is essentially the same as the refurbished Leap V2 from BTOD, with both supporting users far better than the stock seat cushion. The main difference is that BTOD uses 1/2 inch foam while Crandall uses 2 inch foam (they believe BTOD should have made the cushion softer). They note that even with the thicker 2 inch foam, the cushion is still quite firm and may not be soft enough for everyone, especially compared to a gaming chair. They acknowledge that both companies make quality products but still find the firmness to be a potential issue for some users.

Pros

  • Remanufactured versions from Crandall or BTOD support better than stock
  • Available with added foam cushioning

Cons

  • Even with 2 inch foam from Crandall, cushion is still quite firm
  • May not be soft enough compared to gaming chairs
  • BTOD's 1/2 inch foam may not soften it enough
