A good upholstery shop can transfer the leather/vinyl from the new seats to your old frames. The under padding too, if needed. They should verify functioning of the heating elements when doing this, too ... if applicable.

When I purchased leather seats to replace my ruined vinyl seats, both were non memory but still I had an upholstery shop transfer the heating elements from the old to the new seats which weren't originally heated.

Upholstery folks are wizards and you're better off having them do the work as you'll need years of experience to get to their skill level.

When seats are removed from car, do not turn on ignition or you'll set an airbag light that has to be turned off with capable equipment.
