Default Imprint in the leather

Hi I recently was driving a friend home. He was in the car for about 10 minutes max. I think he was sitting on a shirt but it made a imprint in the leather. Its not a wrinkle nor a crease. Its like it was punched in the leather and hasnt gone away since about 12 hours. Has anybody had this happen to them before? Thanks in advance.

The first day I had my car, I leaned over the arm rest to reach into the center console. When I did that, I placed part of my weight on the armrest using my elbow. I noticed a small indentation from it. The next day, it was still there. Over time, though, it eventually went away. Hopefully the same will happen for you.

Lexus must've used those expensive memory foam in the seats--contours to the curvature of my backside and toosh.

Noticed this when I put my bookbag on the back seat. The Perf leather did have indentations, but went away after. Leather does this, dont worry

Keep your leather soft with leather conditioner lotion. It will keep your leather very pliable and less wrinkled. Try to do this a couple of times a year.

Good luck!
