I apply conditioner every week on my driver seat and once a month on the rest as im usually riding solo.
I am really worried about my F sport bolsters ripping open from getting in and out over and over....im pretty fat so that is worrying me as they are already creasing yet maintain the form for now.

If you learn to leviated in and out of the seat, tearing and ripping won't happen. 
But really, I pull myself up before getting out of the seat, and slide in gently w/o touching or hitting the bolsters when getting in.
And cleaning/detailing the interior regularly would make it look nice and new.

That's great you do that ~ keep it up! Just to digress, you know how BIG a GS is and how much more room ya got to get in & out as compared to an IS? If seat depreciation happens so easily on a big GS I hope the same thing doesn't happen on IS!!

yea, i am a freak when it comes to cleaning and detailing but I read the products actually destroy the seat and the best thing is just a damp towel to wipe.

I have the same concerns for my seats especially since I already see noticeable wear on the bolsters after only 12k miles but I personally would never put seat covers on. I'd rather just deal with it later if it gets too bad by upholstering or having a shop take care of it.

Well if you don't care for and/or treat leather car seats regularly, after a while, ALL of them will crack.
I'm more so referring to the friction and rubbing every time you get in & out of your car. Physically I'm NOT huge, in fact I'm relatively athletic, but this is my second Lexus and the seats on the IS 350 F-Sport are too nice!!

Lazer, buy 2 Men Tank Top side L or XL and put it on both of your driver/passenger seats, the tank top yes compatible when airbag deploys, they will looks wild but its save you from leather tears, i just put them on my seats, looks cool. Its the 90s style.

Yes I agree they don't look great and I never used a seat cover prior but I could care less what others think about the way it looks. This is my 4th Lexus and the drivers seat leather looked like crap, cracking/ worn out on all of them. I sell my cars privately and guess what the first thing buyers say when they look at the car? Did you turn back your miles, the drivers seat looks beat up. Yes I do treat them and tried several leather conditioners with the same result and no I'm not fat. The scary part is there are already people complaining about worn leather on the 3IS with under 10k miles. At least my other ones started to show ware around 50k-60k so it wouldn't surprise me if Lexus saved money by using lower quality leather on the 3IS.
