Features
Movement
Movement
Moving helps reduce pressure on the spine, sends oxygen to your muscles, and increases blood flow to your brain. Movement is healthy and your desk chair should support your body as you move.
Orientation
Orientation
Changes in posture help you stay comfortable and more attentive. Leap office chair’s Natural Glide System™ enables you to comfortably recline without straining your eyes, neck, or arms.
Controls the precise amount of “push back” as you recline.
Fit
Fit
Your body is unique. You need a desk chair that easily adjusts to fit you, your preferences, and how you work.
Leap WorkLounge

Insights
Spine
Spine
The spine doesn’t move as a single unit.
When you recline, your upper spine moves backward and your lower spine arches forward.
Each individual’s spine motion is unique.
Even for people of identical size, age, and gender, each spine moves differently.
Lower Back
Lower Back
Your lower back requires firm, constant support while your upper back requires more support as you recline.
Posture
Posture
Vision and reach impact your posture. 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.
