“Very comfortable. Lots of adjustments so you can find the right fit. Been using mine a lot. Been using one for 18 months and one for 6 months. Still look new. I'm 6'1" 250lbs so this chair has not had the easiest life. Very sturdy.”

“I work in an office where we have literally thousands of Steelcase Leap chairs. I've seen people abuse there's by spilling coffee, green smoothies, and yogurt on them. I've seen them used as step stools and used in 'chair races'. I've personally been using the same one for going on 4 years and I have *never* seen one break to the point of being unusable or beyond the point of repair. I also have an Interior Design degree specializing in Commercial office design and have a lot of respect for the Steelcase brand.”

“I work remotely and this has proved to be a game changer for increasing my comfort levels throughout the day as well as helping with the pain I experience from musculoskeletal and nerve issues in my back and spine.”

“I looked around for a good back lumbar cushion for my work at home set up and settled on this one after a reading a bunch of recommendations. It came and lives up to everyone's great praise. Its nice and soft but not too soft. Immediately I can feel the difference when sitting on my chair. My lower back pain has diminished greatly. Thinking about buying another one for my wife. The material is soft to the touch and has held up.”

“I ordered the seat cushion and this back support to use together for a very uncomfortable office chair.”
