No bounce at all. The seat is completely flat and not soft. The only thing on this recliner that is soft and fluffy is the arms. The other thing about this recliner is when you lie back, it does not stay. Every move you make it comes back up to the sitting position. Its your choice. I just let you know a few things. I wish I didnt immediately take the box over to the dumpsters. ‍♀️
