The Steelcase Amia chair is the lesser-known little brother of the Steelcase Leap v2. Don’t let that designation fool you – the Amia is still a stellar chair that many consider to be more of a “side-grade” to the Steelcase Leap v2. Here’s a quick run down of the differneces between the Steelcase Leap v2 and Steelcase Amia:
- While the Steelcase Leap v2 allows you to lock the chair at 5 different points, the Steelcase Amia provides a binary lock, allowing you to lock yourself upright or not at all. This quickly becomes a non-issue if you increase the back-force tension on either chair, effectively creating an “auto-lock” function. .
- While both the Steelcase Leap v2 and the Steelcase Amia chairs have adjustable seat pans, the Steelcase Leap’s seat pan will automatically move forward as you recline, increasing comfort in the recline position. The Amia, however, will have a thicker seat pad than that of the Leap.
- The Steelcase Leap v2 will have a much more severe lumbar support system compared to that of the Steelcase Amia. Some may find the Leap’s lumbar system too aggressive. The Amia’s Lumbar system is less “in your face,” though it still certainly makes its presence known.

We revitalize the seat pan foam with a very high temperature steam process, and add half an inch of foam to increase comfort and stability. Each part is inspected and tested to make sure it is fully functional, and any part that needs to be fixed or replaced is fixed or replaced.

Original Upholstery options
Step 1: Chair Disassembly

Step 2: Inspecting Mechanism and Frame
All components of the disassembled chair are inspected. Mechanical components are inspected and tested, Mechanical components are repaired or replaced as necessary.
Step 3: Steam and Sterilization
All components of the disassembled chair are steamed at 375 degrees F. Special attention is paid to the seat pan and back foam in order to revitalize the foam.
Step 4: Reupholstery
We remove the original upholstery, and reupholster the chairs with Guilford of Maine Open House commercial grade upholstery. We add an additional half inch of foam to the seat pan to add comfort and longevity to the foam. If you would like, you may choose to stick with the original Steelcase upholstery. If so, we take great pains to select a seat pan and backrest that is as close to new as possible (frequently from chairs that have seen two years of use or less). We then steam clean and shampoo the upholstery, making it virtually indistinguishable from a reupholstered chair.
