Leap was designed to fit each unique body and balance the need for stability and support and freedom of movement.
Leap owns a reputation as our most adjustable chair, providing customizable support whatever your body shape or style of work. It’s also a proven productivity booster.
In fact, in an independent health and productivity study, we saw a 17.8% increase in productivity for one group after a year.
If you’re looking for a chair that gives you control to dial-in a precise fit, make the jump to Leap.
- It’s the first chair designed with our LiveBack® technology which allows the back to contour and adapt to mimic and support the natural movement of your spine
- Designed with a Natural Glide System™, the seat glides back and forth as you recline —keeping your posture in check and moving you closer to your worksurface. When you recline in traditional chairs, the distance between you and your work can increase, which in turn can strain your eyes, arms, and neck - pulling you away from your work and flow
- Intuitive controls are labeled in English and braille for ease of use to allow you to tune in to your unique body and sitting style
- Leap even includes a lower back firmness dial that allows you to customize your sitting experience with just the right amount of lumbar support that fits your preference
If your goal is ultimate adjustability, where your chair always feels tailored for you, take the Leap.

How do I adjust the height on my Steelcase Leap office chair?
Leap’s height can be adjusted via a small lever on the underside of the seat itself, similar to other types of office chairs. To raise your chair, lift your body weight while pulling the lever up. Staying seated while pulling the lever up will lower the chair.
For further adjustments, a smaller lever near the back of the chair can be used to adjust seat depth. The individual arms can also be adjusted to your liking, both with standard height adjustments or with our optional 4-Way adjustment system including height, width, pivot, and depth.
-
Does Leap have lumbar support?
Steelcase Leap offers modern, flexible lumbar support at various points across your spine and upper body.
Each Leap includes our revolutionary LiveBack geometric lumbar system that supports your spine in a natural, healthier way while still providing continuous, responsive back tension.
Additional, optional height-adjustable lumbar support is available for users who need more flexibility in their seating positions.
This lumbar support can be easily adjusted by grabbing the handles on the sides of the back support, and sliding up or down.
-
Is the Leap office chair good for sitting long hours?
Each aspect of Leap is designed to provide maximum flexibility and support across all sitting styles throughout the day, no matter how long you need to sit or where the day takes you.
By combining our unique LiveBack system with adjustable seat depth, adjustable armrests, and an optional height-adjustable lumbar support, Leap can keep you sitting more comfortably and in a healthier position than standard office chairs that offer fewer points of adjustment.

How can I clean my Leap chair?
While we advise against the use of disinfectants to clean the fabric on your Steelcase Leap chair, there are easy methods to keep your chairs clean and tidy with a mixture of 1 part clear dish detergent and 16 parts water in a spray bottle.
Spray your fabric surface lightly and evenly, allowing it to soak through before absorbing the leftover moisture with a wet/dry vac.
The metal and plastic parts can be safely cleaned with a damp cloth and a gentle soap as needed, and buffed dry with a soft non-abrasive cloth to prevent streaking.

What is the difference between Leap and Leap With 3D Knit Back?
Both versions of Leap offer the same dynamic, adjustable comfort designed for the modern workplace.
The big difference between them is that this Leap offers our unique 3D knit material for the back rest, which acts as an insulator between the flexors in the chair and your body.
This offers a thickness and stability that can provide additional comfort during long working periods, while still offering the same transparent look like our other mesh materials.
-
How can you adjust Leap With 3D Knit Back?
Leap With 3D Knit Back is adjusted the same way that Leap is.
To raise or lower your chair, lift your body weight while pulling the lever up (to raise the chair) or stay seated (to lower the chair).
A smaller lever towards the front of the chair can be used to adjust seat depth.
Each arm offers standard height adjustments or with our optional 4-Way adjustment system including height, width, pivot, and depth.
-
What back support does Leap With 3D Knit Back offer?
In addition to the unique LiveBack geometric back support system that keeps your spine in a natural, healthy S-shape, the 3D knit back offers additional comfort and thickness for postures of any style.
The 3D knit is an insulator between flexors in the chair and your body while providing transparency.
These two unique back supports combine with the manual adjustment points to create a chair that is uniquely comfortable and suitable for any workplace need.
