None of these are considered proper posture, and it seems unfair to expect a chair to support someone’s back if they aren’t sitting correctly. In the Leap V2, I have comfortably sat on top of my legs/feet, pretzel-style, knees to chest, one leg crossed over the other, feet resting on the chair’s legs - you name the position, and I’ve probably sat that way. And finally, like most people, I’m not comfortable sitting in the same position for long periods of time, so I switch it up quite a bit. Instead of using a blanket, I just sit on my legs. Secondly, I get cold pretty easily, especially if I’m sitting still. First off, my desk doesn’t have any leg hole instead, it has a slide-out keyboard, but it doesn’t quite slide out far enough to allow my legs and feet to rest under it without hitting the bottom ledge of the desk. I love it so much and feel that it was worth every penny even though buying it did raise the total cost of the chair.īut here’s why the lumbar insert is so awesome: it lets you sit like an idiot. Though the back support is still respectable without the lumbar insert, using the insert takes things to the next level. I really wanted the lumbar insert because, as I said, I want my lumbar support to punch me in the back. Whoever originally bought my chair either didn’t want to pay for it or it got lost as the chair moved between owners. This is likely because you can buy the chair without it, and Steelcase treats it as a $41 add-on. When I bought this chair from Marketplace, it actually did not have the insert. The chair has great support without the insert, but I think it’s worth purchasing. This insert can be moved up or down, allowing you to adjust the groove of the chair’s lower back to be exactly where you need it. There is also a removable lumbar insert that can be placed in the chair. I like to feel like the chair is punching me in my lower back, so I’ve got this baby cranked up to the max, and I love it. This moves the lower portion of the chair in or out depending on your preference. You can adjust the lumbar support by using a large cog-like knob on the right side of the chair. The Leap V2 does a fantastic job of supporting both the lower and upper back. I don’t care how stylish a chair looks, it is never worth the money if it doesn’t support your back (talking about you, gaming chairs). This chair has so many features, so I will mainly cover my favorite and leave the rest up to the product description on the manufacturer’s website. Still, they’re very similar and because I’m loving it so much, I really wanted to review it for anyone who may be considering buying this chair either used or new. The sticker on it says it was manufactured in 2005, so there may be some minor differences from today’s model. Long story short, I found a used Steelcase Leap V2 on Facebook Marketplace and purchased it for $140. So, I started looking around at office chairs instead of gaming chairs via our own Alex’s suggestion. I got to the point where I was having back pain almost every single day, and enough was enough. That chair did have a lower lumbar cushion, but it still didn’t properly support my back. Up until now, I was using some crappy gaming chair I bought three years ago off Amazon for under $100, and my back was really starting to hurt. Between work and gaming, I spend at least eight hours, if not more, in a chair. Anyone who works a desk job or is an avid gamer has probably dealt with back pain.
