I have had heated seats in many cars over the years with leather....MB and Ferrari..never had a problem with heating....and leather was fine if cared for..Leatherique is wonderful for leather/interior car....always worked well...leather stood up to my Chocolate lab for 16 years on various hiking trips..(RIP)

I'd also guess that sunshine, hot summer days, and lack of leather care in general would do more damage then internal heaters. I set mine on the high setting for a minute or two, then down to the lower setting or off. I don't really need the seats to be hot so much as not freezing in the morning 
Living in the Northeast, my seats stay almost constantly heated from late October thru April, although this is mostly in my Acura MDX and not my Cayman. I have done this for many years in all my cars and I have noticed no leather wear problems.
When the Cayman does come out of hibernation, I do use the heated seats throughout the driving season (just not constantly) to help soften the growing aches and pains. I would think my Cayman should be a health care deduction since it does offer so many health benefits.
I use heated seats more than my spouse, her cars show the same leather wear patterns as my cars. In fact my seats usually show less wear since I spend more time maintaining them. A good weekly wipe down with a damp cloth and occasional conditioning will help them stay looking new.
Enjoy the heated seats :beer:

Anyone seen driving a Porsche while wearing one of these shall be shot on sight. And if you're a member here, it's cause for an automatic ban.
Now, a Snuggie made out of Shamwow fabric, that's a different story...
