I believe you can get new covers for the seats from VW, but likely to be expensive though! A good car upholsterer would be able to make new covers or replace the worn sections much cheaper.
When I initially got my mk6 GTD, I was conscious that I brushed the edge of the seat bolster getting in and out. I changed the way I got in and out of the car to avoid contact with the bolsters. Felt really strange to start with but soon became quite natural. When I sold the car at nearly 5 years old, the seats were pretty much as new with no signs of wear.
tried to do that, i even placed a cloth against the edge so i didn't rub on it while entering/exiting the car, but it felt unnatural to me so i gave up. Changing the seat with an aftermarket cloth is not an option as i really like the factory one, i;ll probably look to glue it somehow or sew it again
