Can cloth seats with airbags be reupholstered with leather? How much should I expect to pay for a good job?

I have a 2004 Mazda 6 with side air bags built into the seats. The car is very clean and nice except the light color cloth seats are really ratty at only 30,000 miles. Would it be worth it to convert the car to leather seats, front and back?

It would be worth it to buy some upholstery cleaner and clean the seats really well, or have them professionally cleaned and then sprayed with Scotch Guard.

But if you do want to have them reupholstered, you need to have a professional
