Seat Cover Recommendations? - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Hey guys! I usually hang out on the Tacoma forum but my father has a 2005 corolla and His birthday is coming up. I'm trying to find some decent seat covers but don't know which ones are junk. Do you guys have any recommendations for some quality seat covers? Thanks in advance!

Our main concerns were covers that would serve as protection from the sun, durable (denim like material), no foam backing, having seatback pockets for both front buckets, washable, ease of installation & affordable. I ordered the front buckets in June and was quite impressed with fit & quality. Separate headrest & console covers were included. Free UPS shipping 48 states, additional discount when ordering both front & rear seat sets. Material color swatches are available. They are located in Miami, FL. We ordered the rear set right after installation of the front set. Excellent customer service from their staff!

Thanks for the response jkg! Do they feel like jeans material? Are they soft or do they have a rough feel to them?

Our bucketseat covers are soft denim and seem to be a slightly thicker material in comparison to the swatches that I requested for a friend. The completed covers may also have been "ironed or pressed". We were going to go through a trial period with the front set but was so impressed that we went ahead & ordered the rear set. Why not request the free swatches so you can personally assess material quality?

Does the car have side airbags?

Our '08 does not have the side airbags. These are not one size fits all but are custom made for each specific car model. If you check the site out the order form is detailed with specifications of your particular seat, electrical or manual operated, lumbar adjust, etc!
