High Quality Sheepkin Seat Covers?

Ray,

I like the so-called "Custom" fit ones from ShearComfort.com. They are not truly custom fit. Instead they have a bunch of patterns and they send you the one that they think best fits your car.

Several of us have had them on the Gen 3 and Gen 2 Prius. They are very thick Australian Merino wool all around (no fake fur anywhere), supremely comfortable, good fitting, and relatively inexpensive at $250 for both front seats.

Here are pics of them on my Gen 2:

They are discussed in this thread, which also has additional photos:

Good luck.

 

I don't know how you guys can drive with sheepskin seat covers. I would find it way too distracting. :eyebrows:

Hi Tom, you're not originally from New Zealand by any chance are you.


A quick question for Boo if you're still around. In your picture there of your interior, has the "lift up top" of the center console been re-covered or is that original?

BTW. I've got pretty much the same seat covers as pictured by boo and I like them a lot. They give really good insulation so they're good all year round.

 

did you pay the extra $18 to account for the side airbags???

That's an aftermarket leather center console cover from Prius Hoods. I think it looks swell. BTW, although it comes in gray, tan or black, I think black looks best -- it picks up the black in the rest of the car (dash, steering wheel, center console, doors), and contrasts nicely with either the gray or ivory/bisque Prius interiors. Here's a link:

I do have the ones with the velcro'd flap to allow proper deployment of the side airbag. You can see the cut of the flap in the rear/side view picture above.

But I didn't pay $18 for them per se. I bought my covers in barely-used condition from a PriusChatter for half-price ($125 for both front seats).

 

Since those covers are designed for the Prius, they know where to place the flap. The Prius airbag is mounted in a specific location of the side of seat frame and that location does not vary.

In pic, airbag is the black thing with yellow label before I placed the seatback foam over it.
