Default 2023 Elantra Hybrid, leather seat bulging/stretching. Is this amount normal?

Hey elantra owners, wondering if anyone has this issue with their elantra with the perforated leather seat option.
Was cleaning the car this weekend and noticed the driver and passenger seat had some bulging of the leather right in the middle portion of the seat.
You can press this portion down and it bounces back up, have a short gif attached. Its quite noticeable if you're just looking at the seat too, kind of like a balloon is getting inflated under that leather portion.
Bulging seat cushion
I have less than 5000km on the car right now and was worried this will only get worse over time.

Any info greatly appreciated!

I have the same issue with my car. I started noticing it a month after I bought it. I told the dealership about it and they want me to come by so they can take pictures.
