Besides going with one of Katzkin's or Classic Soft Trim's authorized installer you get a 3 yr/36000 mi. warranty.
Wish I had a camera that worked. Must see to appreciate.

I suspect the answer is probably no, but did the aftermarket covers make the seats any more comfortable?? I mean, did they add side bolster or any additional padding anywhere? I can't stand the lack of side bolstering on my OEM leather seats.

It feels a lot different to the touch but sitting in the truck there's not a whole lot of difference.
I would say a good custom place could add foam to the bolstering if you requested. It would probably look and feel better.
While I was in the shop a guy came in and wanted to know if they could add 3/4" of heigth to the bottom of the seat while they were putting leather in a brand new truck for his son (lucky kid) and they said "No problem". I don't know why they couldn't just add foam to the bolstering only.
