No, unlike the Herman Miller Aeron, the Steelcase Leap V2 does not use a mesh material for its backrest. Instead, it utilizes a highly flexible, breathable fabric stretched over a plastic frame with integrated lumbar supports that move independently with your spine.

The Leap V2 is optimized for traditional desk work and features highly adjustable lumbar support, while the Gesture is designed specifically to support users interacting with modern technology like smartphones and tablets. The Gesture features 360-degree armrests that mimic the human arm, whereas the Leap V2's arms are slightly less flexible.

Yes, the armrest pads on the Steelcase Leap V2 are removable and can be replaced if the polyurethane material degrades over time. You can easily order replacement pads from third-party office parts retailers or directly from Steelcase.
