leather seat sagging

The leather seats in my SLK are sagging where the person sits down. In other words, the location where your butt is seated. Any suggestions on how to tighten this area so the seat doesn't sag?

Leather does stretch but what you could do is pull the seat out and refit the cover tighter.

It could be that the foam has compressed and the leather has 'stretched to fit' A vehicle leather upholsterer would be able to replace the foam and refit the leather cover.
