I can say that PurLuxe is soft and very comfortable.. Might even be more comfortable than leather --especially with the 20 way seats.. I imagine that it might be easier to fabricate than leather with all of the functions and features in the 20 way seat. That said, I have some serious concerns about its durability, If you do a search on upholstery issues here you will see that there have been a group of owners reporting Purluxe tears on driver's seat bolster. I have tears in mine.
