What's underneath the cloth seats
I'm taking a chance and making an assumption here, but I would imagine that they use the same materials underneath the upholstery regardless of whether you have cloth, leather, leatherette or cloth/leather combo. Most likely this is a high grade foam of some sort, as they use in just about any kind of upholstery.

English wheat, hops and grain.
Seriously, I'd imagine it's just some foam and insulation material. This is the stuff underneath the leather seat of my friend's BMW when his ex-girlfriend carved the passenger side with a knife in a jealousy rage (long and pathetic story).
My wife upgraded the seats in her Yukon to Katskin Leather and the installers actually took the original covers off the seats (bare naked) and recovered it with the new leather. So I'm guessing they would either take the leatherette off to be replaced with cloth, or they just install cloth seats seperately.

There's some foam, then underneath the foam are some springs shaped like a long squiggle. I've had a set disassembled.

PS The leather seats get an adjustable lumbar support in the backrest where the cloth seats do not.
