Deciding which car seat covers to go for is a major challenge. It’s just as much choosing the style as it is knowing which ones will fit your seats. The last thing you want is to invest in a set of seat covers that fall apart or hang loosely over the seat like MC Hammer’s balloon pants.
In recognition of these legitimate concerns, we’ve compiled a shortlist of excellent leather car seat covers. Our picks are quite different in terms of style, but all are very well made. We just advise that you double and triple check your car seat size against those of the seat covers. The number one reason for grumpy customers is ill-fitting covers. This is closely followed by poor quality, but our choices eliminate that issue.
It is worth pointing out that none of the products below are actual leather. One reason for this is because of traceability issues with many leather products, and we don’t wish to promote leather goods that involve animal cruelty. However, the other reason is that faux leather car seats are much easier to care for, which is better for you.

Granted, these are not leather covers or even real sheepskin for that matter. But they are soft and fluffy, which is what people demand from sheepskin seat covers. These synthetic sheepskin covers are easily washable and available in a range of patterns and colours. They are of a great standard and made in the UK.
How to clean leather car seat covers
Because these are all synthetic material, the task of cleaning is made very easy. With the faux sheepskin covers, you can simply put them in the washing machine on a delicate cycle. For the others, wiping with a damp cloth to remove loose dirt will do the trick. For stains, a quality interior upholstery cleaner will help you out.
