Sofa creases

Hi forum, I bought a new leather sofa fairly recently. Over the past week, I’ve noticed that the seat which I sit on (it’s a 2 seater), has developed a couple of creases which run from the very back almost to the front of the cushion. 

What, if anything can I do to smooth those out? My concern is that they will worsen as time goes on. The other cushion, which isn’t used, is as smooth as silk.

Many thanks

    The leather stretches
    I don’t think you can unstretch it
    If it gets bad you can get new foam in the cushions
    That will sort it for a while
    But all leather stretches
    Cheaper thinner leather quite quickly

    Are they removable cushions? If so, it's worth swapping them round regularly to even out the wear.
