Crandall Leap v2 Replacement Seat

I think your best bet is the BTOD Lamia. I have tried the steelcase leap v2, steelcase gesture, herman miller embody, steelcase karman and even the liber nova omni chair.

Aeron Sizing/Pain Issues

Size C feels pretty good, I tried the B again and I felt a little too cluttered, and especially on the backrest when reclining to max I felt the rim in my upper back which wasn't very great, while in the size C it's not digging in my shoulders or upper back which I clearly prefer. While this is all
