F10 comfort seat wear

Has anyone else have experience with seat wear?
My bolster is worn and I understand it’s from getting in and out. However my concern is the lower bolster that it’s creased. It was not as bad when I originally got the car in August. Please see the photo below. My question is how can this be reduced and prevented if I replace the covers?

Replacing the covers is pricey. Try colourlock. Get the deep cleaner and the dye that matches your leather color. It's a good product, I use it on my f10 oyster leather color, makes it look brand new. For creases, try a leather steamer.

Friend of mine tried it on his Napa leather seats, it brought them back to life. The only downside is you need to reapply yearly.

I've always wondered why people see that as a downside. If I told you there was a product that could make your paint 90% like new again that only had to be applied once a year, people would be throwing their wallets at me. But tell them there's a product that does the same for your interior, all of a sudden they're moaning about how they need to apply it every year.

I don't doubt the results, colorlock makes great products. Once a year is honestly not bad at all, it's just another thing you need to do to take good care of the car
