    I have leather seats on my 2008 Prius. I am rough on my seats and sometimes may have dirty or sweaty clothes on. I'm thinking of putting seat covers on. Does anyone have a suggestion on what type and companies that make seat covers for leather seats?

    I saw some nice looking sheepskins @ Costco yesterday. The back cushion part has no sides so the side air bags will work.

    A company named Autosport sell "Precision Fit" seat covers that are fantastic. Great fit with spot for side air bad but is not an open hole. It has a material cover which will move if air bag released. I am in the process of installing mine now. Real great fit and look!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Wetokle seat covers are the absolute best. they are custom made for your car including taking into consideration airbags in seats. they are made of neoprene. the company is in costa mesa california and will install them for free... they fit just like a glove so sometimes seats have to be removed to install. I just ordered mine they are $540. which is quite expensive but being this is my second pair they are worth every penny. see their website. I think it is wetokle hawaii. com

    The Wet Okoles look great and seem perfect given your avatar photo.

    But I wonder what the point of having leather seats is if you're going to cover them all up?

    I'd consider getting a nice partial (front back and seat panels) sheepskin cover for the driver's seat only. I have a relatively inexpensive one that I put on my driver's seat. But if I had more money, I'd get one made by Miss Sideless. They fit and look good, seem to be of high quality, come in charcoal or tan, and cost $175 (plus more if you want the headrest covered):

    Good luck.

    don't get neoprene covers. they make you sweat a LOT, and then keep that sweat right next to your body. had some in a previous car and had to take them off after a few months.

    Sweat? I just don't like those type of seats.
