I need a pair of basic seat covers to put on when my duds get dirty at work or play. Months ago someone referenced relatively inexpensive washable seat covers made to fit the seats to put on for this purpose. I have searched for a couple hours here on this website. If I remember correctly they were sold via Amazon. I searched there too. Any ideas?
I bought a seat cover off Amazon, it’s basically a towel with a waterproof backing that has a pocket at the top that slips over the head rest to hold it in place. I’m not always dirty driving my truck so I like this option because I can quickly put it on as needed and sit on the normal seats otherwise. It’s machine washable and cost all of $8 on Amazon.
Hey *****, Just go to your favorite store and buy big bath towels/ bath sheets sew a pocket in one end and drape over seat.Use a long piece of cord and tie around the seat at the fold point.here is pic of mine with grommets. for head rest.
Pugga,
That is exactly my use as well. I usually am not dirty, however there are the days. I carry a change of duds in the back if a total disaster. Many times I have used my jacket with the inside and clean side down but wanted it to cover the seat back as well and be waterproof to keep under the seat until needed. The link you sent is a good possibility plus it opened the door to other options. I use the nice seats 90% of the time, that is why wifey selected the Lariat Ultimate.
Trucker,
Thanks for the suggestions. You make really nice seat covers. I do not sew or make grommets so I need store made. If it is wood I make it.
i could not find anything similar so I must have been way off searching on Amazon. The topic for 2019 mods and accessories is now 77 pages long so it would take days to read through it.
i went with that. They fold up reasonably well and fit behind the rear seat. Don’t stay on perfectly (when I get in if I’m not paying attention the front of the seat cover may lift off) but they have done well so far.
FYI - you may want to find The equivalent on US amazon if you’re not up here.
Displaced Flatlander - thanks! that seat cover looks perfect for my situation. It looks a nicely structured to leave on for a few days if the weather is wet and muddy, but not too much for storing for occasional use.
How is the inside surface? It says non-slip net. I don’t want something that will be abrasive on the leather seats. Yes my truck is for work but it is also for nice use too.
I ordered pair of seat covers from Seat Covers Unlimited when my 2011 F250 was new. I went with their Scottsdale line. They held up really well and still look good. The fit and install was better than I anticipated and well worth the money. I'm selling my F250 with the covers, buying a new pair of these for my new truck
that’s exactly my use case. I throw them on for hunting or if I’ve been doing yard work. I was using a snowblower/shovelling snow and had wet pants. I didn’t notice any leakage through. They fold up and can put them behind the vertical seat back in the rear seat - if you can’t always have them in your truck, they are useless to you if they are home and you are out getting dirty. I’ve been happy overall.
This is the side that faces up. A bit like a scratchy vinyl or duffle-bag material. This is the backside of the seat back portion. A much more satin-y material. Think of the lining inside the arms of a jacket. This is the no slip backing on the seat. Rubbery, doesn’t feel scratchy. Somewhat, but not perfectly non-slip. I have a king ranch, so I hear you on the leather. This would be the area where I would notice any additional wear due to the cover. I don’t see anything abnormal.

Ksmach - those seat covers look good but I only want them on occasionally.
Displaced flatlander - wow, thanks for the photos and details. Those covers look perfect for my similar purpose. Much better than trying to protect the seat with my jacket. Usually getting that grubby is unintentional, but can be expected. I take my nephew hunting and he seems to find mud even more than I do.
