Seat any better with leather than cloth

I am considering a 06 2500 with leather seats. Are there any difference in the construction of the leather seats over the cloth covers? Thanks for your reply.

Those in my '06 have held up pretty well with 113K miles but have always been uncomfortable. I did the fix with carpet and pad under the cover a few years ago and it was better but still killed my butt after a long day. I now use a padded cushion under me as well, Still not real comfortable.

Yeah seat comfort on these 3rds apparently was not a concern.
A local upholstery shop has a custom upgrade splicing in high density foam along with newer moderate density foam.
I'm sitting in a bucket currently.
They don't replace the entire foam piece.
We'll see.

Thanks guys. I did not think they would make them any softer.

The cloth seats are a lot more comfortable, but I still pick leather for the durability. I did the seat cushion mod, it helped a little. If you want the best seat, you've got to spend a little money and take it to a seat shop... couple hundred bucks, (5-600 on the low side) you'll feel like you're in a lazy boy.
