I voted for natural leather seats. The most comfortable seats that I have ever encountered are the lovely leather seats in our Panamera S.

A story of mine involving leather seats happened in the summer of 2006. My mother at the time owned a Ford Fiesta Sedan (one of these https://fastestlaps.com/models/ford-fiesta-sedan-1-0 ), which had optional (genuine) leather seats.
We were having fun at the beach on a day that should have been around 35°C or more. When it was time to get in the car to go home, I had the brilliant idea of getting in immediately after the doors were unlocked.
Car in the sun, leather seats... You know the drill, right? 😂
I didn't have a sun burn, but I still returned home burned

That would've hurt so much more too since you'd have been out in the water lmao.
RIP Igor's butt. 🙈

Unfortunately, I didn't just burn my butt on the seats that day. I also burned my back and thighs. And being salty from the sea water certainly didn't help much lol

I've said before I like cloth as an overall choice.
HOWEVER, lol, of all the cars I've sat in, everything up to top of the line Cadillacs, supercars, Mercedes, Alfas, and so on...
Velour.
Velour seats, I've only experienced a couple times. Each time, by a good degree, the most comfiest I've ever felt. It's pretty close to cloth for breathability, but it seems hard to find velour. Probably since it's harder to clean.
Very soft leather can feel almost as good when it's cool and plush. Gets hot af though. It has to be a cool cabin or leather just becomes a horribly humid, sticky seat, or in the when in the sun the cabin turns into a full oven lol.
But overall, cloth isn't hard to find and doesn't get hot in the summer. So I take cloth usually.

My previous car was a first gen 2012 Citroen C3 Exclusive 1.4.
Can't describe how much I loved those seats
