Coming Soon Steelcase Warranty Information Steelcase Leap Chair Steelcase Leap Chair - Base Model & ArmlessThe Leap chair charters new territory in the world of ergonomic chairs with its Liveback technology, creating a chair that intuitively moves as you shift positions while offering extreme comfort and support. The patented Liveback technology recognizes that your upper back and lower back move independently of each other and that for maximum comfort, the chair needs to support this movement. Dynamic upper and lower support mechanisms mimic the unique movements of different individuals resulting in greater comfort and support over extended periods of time.
The Steelcase Leap chair is also good for the environment and has earned the Silver Cradle to Cradle certification, as well as the SCS Indoor Advantage designation for indoor air quality. The Leap chair is 98% recyclable by weight, and may be constructed of up to 30% recycled materials.
Note: This product listing is for the base model in black, with black fabric and no arms. For more fabric and leather choices, frame color choices, caster options and arms, please see our main listing for the Steelcase Leap chair.
Steelcase Leap Chair Features
- Liveback technology - changes the shape of the back of the chair to support your entire spine reducing the chance of lower back sag or a hunched posture which can weaken disc walls, stress back ligaments and cause deterioration of the spine
- Thermal comfort - slats in both the chair back and seat, combined with a special foam, insure that the Leap chair offers excellent breathability so you will still comfortable regardless of room temperature
- Adjustable seat depth - insures that the depth of your seat supports your legs properly without compromising circulation
- Adjustable lower back firmness - allows you to set the firmness to suit your preferences
- Natural Glide System - allows the seat to glide forward as you recline without leaving your optimal vision and reach zone so you can remain better oriented in relation to your work. This encourages you to vary your position during the day which is healthier for your spine.
- Upper back force - lets you set the amount of resistance you encounter as your recline so you'll receive the desired support as you recline

Professor Ergo's Thoughts:
The Leap chair has a very comfortable seat support and a great back tilt. It is very adjustable and has intuitive controls. The seat slide works flawlessly and this chair has world class armrests. The Leap and Amia are the chairs I personally sit in all day. The only problem we have seen is the lumbar support tends to float downward on its own in our demo chair and we need to occasionally raise it back up. This is a best in class ergonomic chair.

Our Customers Say ...
I received the chairs today and they are perfect. Thank you for your personal attention to my shipping snafu. In this day and age of the internet and push button instant gratification, we sometimes forget that the real value is not in a price that is 1% better. It's in the value added by empathetic people how really try to help. Maybe you should create a company tag line like "Real humans providing great human solutions."
