...........This sounds like a common issue which at a guess is down to broken seat elements?? Is it common??

Yes! 

[waspy]

I prefer cloth, because as other's have said leather is cold & hot dependent on weather. My Monaro has leather which supports very well & is extremely comfortable (you don't slide around) though your back gets a little damp in hot weather

Used to have cloth (2000 cd) and preferred it to my current leather (2000 elite). The leather seems to give a slight amount more side ways room as the sides of the seat are slightly more flat but on cold days you feel it more on the leather. I mostly do short journeys so by the time the heated seats warm up it is time to get out of the car.
My favourite would be the mv6 type seats in cloth

i've no experience of omega leather but i have to say that the cloth in my car is still in great nick.

you'd imagine after 10 years it would look tired and worn but nowt like that at all!

plus i remember when i bought it thinking that it was odd (in a good way) to have heated cloth seats. although maybe i've just been used to crap cars prior to the omega!

Sports seats are a pita to get in and out of... Just to add, and I find the side bolsters  uncomfortable on the base.

IMO, the ideal would be Elite base with memory that goes a fraction lower, and has no play in the runners when braking, and the pull out bit under your legs from mv6, with mv6 back for the side bolsters. Not fussed if leather provided it doesn't creak, or cloth provided it doesn't look like a shell suit/deck chair cross like some of the mv6 cloth does....  IMO of course.

Given the pro's and cons, provided they aren't pre face lift and all collapsed, no great preference to either tbh.

I've considered changing my cloth interior for leather several times over the years but have to agree that they are the most comfortable seats I've sat in,so never did.
Interesting though I did buy a cloth MV6 interior this summer and fitted it .Looked superb but was the most uncomfortable seats ever ,I just could not find a comfortable position and ended up with a calf ache after 10mins.
Originals back in

I have always said I hate leather, memories of my cars and sweaty vinyl and leather in the summer, and not helped by a PT Cruiser I had with leather, slid all over.....
So imagine my surprise when my latest car, a Jeep is leather and it is lovely and soft, heated if needed and you don't really slide around in the corners cos although quick in a straight line it's a bit wallowy in the corners so not taken at the same sort of speeds as an ordinary car.....

Cloth MV6 is, I would have to concede, the most comfortable standard Omega seat.  But they soon start to look as if you have been using them for uphill gardening with cats.  I go for leather every time - looks better, feels better and, being puke-on wipe-off, lasts better.  Brought up my kids on leather Carlton seats with no worries at all about where the chocolate ice cream was going. 

Use Gliptone cleaner and they also smell better. 

Shame about the plastic wood, though. 

[sticka_v8_init]

All good advice/experiences fellas.......I've now changed my mind about 4 times now Stick with original leather, swap for my mint cloths, MV6 cloth and leather.

Had a thought...how about if i went for leather, stuck some velcro pads on and then bought some corduros Covers all angles me thinks!

Had cloth for 7 years in the 2.2, got leather in 3.2, when its warm its fine, but I don't like leather on cold winter mornings.

Overall I'd say I prefer cloth

[05omegav6]

Heated leather. Wipe on/wipe off

[flyer 0712]

changed my cloth for leather  on my old vectra  and on this face lift omega....hot in the summer.....loverly with heated in the winter...it is a personal thing in the end but for comfort..looks....and luxury for me its leather every time 

[Auto Addict]

Previous Omega was cloth, this one is leather, quite like the leather, winter and summer.
