dang razor stubble is rough on the upholstery

got a 98 Ranger. replaced the drivers seat with a new one. the old one got tore up where your left butt cheek hits the seat every time you get in, smashing the fabric against that round metal joint that sticks up. this new one is getting started on the same thing. any tips on how to protect it...

I have a '99 ranger 4cyl, runs great, haven't done anything to it lately to make it do this so I don't know why it's doing this. drove to a 7-11 no problems. started it to go home, that's when the problems started. starts fine, idles fine, but anything to do with the gas pedal being pushed...
