Really strange as i dont drive the car but the wife only. For the last 6 months she puts a towel on the seat and still getting worse. Skoda accepted last warranty claim. Not sure another as repeat repair.

We only started putting a towel on as it was going the same as the previous cover. It appears its getting worse even with the towel on before wife sits on the seat. Shes thin to medium build.

My Fabia seat back started showing wear on the bolsters at just over three years old. I contacted Skoda UK and told it was fair wear and tear. My previous Alfa had done 80000 miles without showing wear and My father's 20 year old Accent is still fine . A new seat back cover was £110 and not easy to fit . I bought some cheap covers from Lidl. The steering wheel was also showing wear at about the same time. I can only think Skoda use poor quality materials. Perhaps they want to encourage people to order leather.
