Looking at the pictures, I found none of them looked very nice or fitted very well. My feeling is you lose comfort when they are not a snug fit with the seat itself.
There used to be a place that tailored seat covers for very reasonable costs. I will try to dig this infomation if I can and PM you if successful. Might take some time.

Great stuff, much appreciated am1w! :cool:
On the subject of the mats i wouldn't buy anything that doesn't use the fittings in the car, the rubbish rubber backing on cheap mats will more than likely do more damage to the carpet by moving around than they are worth.

Thats a halfords cover i use it because if im doing prototype work at work i may get copper greese or heatsink paste on my cloths as i seem to get it everywere and the last thing i want is it on the car seat as it does not come off.
Not a great fit cover as its a little short but a cut of the elastic on the side it fits better, its better than nothing.
I also have a snap on cover but its not as good.

Its a 'Action sport waterproof car seat protector' made by transcal in scotland.

Mines not ment to look nice its for practical reasons only. It is not a permenant cover as such its just there to save my seats while at work.

Not being critical of your seat cover. No offence meant. :smiley:

Non taken, just letting you know its not a seat cover as such simply me protecting the seat from some of the nasty stuff it may come into contact with off my cloths from work.
