Do you prefer Leather or Cloth seats on planes?
Many Airlines are promoting their leather seats on the planes. I really do not like leather seats. They seem to lack softness and my but slides off the seat. It is alot harder to try to sleep on a leather seat. Though the airlines always promote their great all leather seats.
What is your preference?

That being said, as long as the seat is all-cloth or all-leather I'm fine with it. A while ago, Delta refitted their first class domestic seat bottoms with half-leather, half-cloth. The seams where the two met were so uncomfortable I had to request an additional pillow to sit on!

Leather and cloth hybrid seats are a definite no no.
I generally prefer cloth as my bum sticks to the leather seats and can make funny noises when moving about

definitely cloth seats for me. feels just more hygenic to me (i know it is not). plus i second the opinion that i would not recommend nor want that anybody exposes too much skin to seats in aircrafts.

Delta's BusinessElite seats are a leather/cloth hybrid, but one that works. The center portion of the seat is cloth, from top to bottom, with leather side bolsters and head cushion. No cloth/leather seams to be uncomfortable, but no sliding down the seat, either.
