I am using steelcase leap v2 and it is good enough for me
I tested it by sitting on it for a long time in the showroom before decided to splurge on it. You can try it out at showroom to see if it fits you

I was using a china mesh seat at half the price of Leap but cannot stand it because the mesh is sticky to the skin and is not strong enough to stay flat. It felt like the heavy parts of body are sunken into the seat.

my china chair is from this brand
Ergroup

my model has been discontinued but it looks similar like current model

my Steelcase allows me to stretch once in a while like the picture above and the i can adjust the strength of the recliner and also the depth of my seat to accommodate my thigh length. my china chair also allows that and the seat will glide forward too when i recline. But its rubbery mesh made my body hard to glide while reclining as it is a bit sticky to the skin, and worse if i am not wearing a shirt with sweaty skin. The mesh is also not able to distribute my body weight properly. It felt like my weight was pinpoint on a spot.

steelcase is a good longterm investment i would say..i would rather buy once and cry once than keep buying but regret

since steelcase is so expensive, i made sure i tested it kao kao at the shop before ordering.
