Default Dents in leather . . .

I got my leather seats out of storage from my parent's basement. Mom though it would be okay to put the bottom cushons on top of the back cushon. Well it left some nice little dents on the back of the seat.

Will these dents in the leather come out over time? Or am I just fucked? Or is there a process to remove them?

with some heat they should come out. Leave them in the sun for a little while and that should do the trick

They will go back to normal after a short time. I had my seats in storage for 3 months and there were all sorts of dents in the leather. 2 weeks after putting them back in they look perfect again (well, as perfect as those fuc*ed up GM seats can look).
