Insights
The Science of Sitting
The Science of Sitting
A Unique Medical Study
At Steelcase, we constantly invest in user research as part of our product design process. Leap was inspired by four key discoveries revealed in a unique global medical study we conducted over four years with 732 users.
Insights
- The spine doesn’t move as a single unit.
- Each individual’s spinal motion is unique.
- The upper and lower back regions require different amounts and different kinds of support.
- When you lean backwards, your pelvis moves forward.

Jump in Productivity by 17.8%
In an office user study with 200 people, those participants who received both a Leap chair and office ergonomics training greatly reduced their absenteeism and their back pain, and as a consequence, directly increased their productivity in one year. That meant each Leap chair paid for itself in less than 10 days.
