Description
Leap Plus adapts the Leap task-chair design for users who need additional seat room and a higher weight rating. The black fabric seat and back are paired with a black frame, base and arms. A wider overall footprint is part of that design, so measure the chair space beneath your desk as carefully as the seat itself.
The LiveBack backrest changes shape with movement, while the Natural Glide recline mechanism coordinates the seat and back. Four-way adjustable arms and an adjustable lumbar support let you work toward a comfortable seated position. The Plus model has its own dimensions and height range; it should be selected using Plus specifications rather than measurements for the standard Leap.
Features
- 500 lb user rating: a manufacturer-specified capacity for the Leap Plus model.
- Wider seat: approximately 22¾ inches across, with a broader back and base than standard Leap.
- LiveBack support: allows the backrest shape to respond as your posture changes.
- Four-way arms: adjust height, width, depth and pivot for forearm positioning.
- Adjustable seat depth: helps set the seat edge relative to your knees.
- Lumbar and recline controls: tune support and back movement to your preference.

Measure the space that matters
Weight capacity alone does not determine fit. A chair can support a user yet still have the wrong seat depth or arm spacing for their workstation. Set the seat first, then bring the arms into a position that supports the forearms without lifting the shoulders.
| Desk opening | Allow for the 31¾-inch overall chair width and the arm positions you will use. |
|---|---|
| Seat fit | Compare seat width and usable depth with a chair you already find comfortable. |
| Seat height | Check the 15½–19½-inch range against your desk, leg clearance and foot support. |
| Floor surface | Hard casters are listed; check a suitable mat or caster option for your floor. |

Common questions
How is Leap Plus different from standard Leap?
The Plus has a wider seat and overall footprint, a 500 lb user rating and its own seat-height range. Standard Leap measurements should not be used to judge this version.
Does the 500 lb rating guarantee a comfortable fit?
No. It is a capacity rating. Check seat width, depth, arm spacing and desk clearance for your body and preferred working position.
Can the arms be adjusted?
Yes. The listed arms adjust in height, width, depth and pivot, allowing several forearm positions.
Will it arrive assembled?
The supplied catalog describes this chair as fully assembled. Confirm any delivery-access needs separately; the chair's overall width matters for narrow doorways.
