seat leather is loose/bubbles

I am starting to notice that my driver's seat buttom is getting more and more loose (stretched out).... looks like I have few big bubbles. I had it for 2 years, 25K miles. I am 180lb & 6ft, so there is no way that I have *unusuall* weight...
Had anyone had that? Is dealerer gonna give me hard time to replace it saying its *normal tear/wear*.
BTW, I use my heated seat very rare ... never keep it on for a long time.

Did they replace buttom cushion, or only the leather that covers it?

I think its because its soooooo cold out. I kneeled on my seat to clean the interior and the impression of my knee stayed for a little while

Yeah its cold, but I think it has nothing to do with it.

Mine gets even more streched when car is warm and seat heat is on. I guess it streches even more... I am going to mention my next visit. for 2 year old car this is unacceptable, maybe for 5-6 years its OK....

Not even 5000 miles and I've got that too! I'm only about 150 lbs but the seat bottom still looks a little loose. It doesn't look like it's gonna go back to how it was. No problem like that on the passenger seat, but then again, I don't drive too many people around.

The left side of the drivers seat on mine started to push down, probably from getting in and out of the car. Told service about it and they replaced the leather skin at 25,000 miles. My old 89 prelude did not do this though it was not leather.
Acura service said it was natural for leather to stretch some but replaced on warrenty anyway since the complaint was for the cushon on the left side.
At 30,000 its starting again. Oh well.

yup I posted this about a year ago. I had my car for about 3 months and I was starting to see butt impressions on my seat. I was like WTF.

bl^5 So how did you convince them to replace it?

I have 2012 TL, almost 3 years old, 34k miles. I am having same issue, but on back of passenger seat, back of headrest. Like a big loose bubble. It is very rare anyone is in passenger's seat or in my back seat. It just appeared, and is getting larger as the days have heated up the past few weeks. About the size of two quarters.
