What is a good quality seat cover?

Hi all, I'm looking for some good quality seat covers for two cars. I'm guessing that there's a good brand that will have quality covers for both cars.

Car 1: 2009 Toyota Yaris Sedan

Car 2: 2014 Toyota Camry Hybrid

Both of these cars would benefit greatly from some nice new seat covers, and I'm going to buy some. When it comes to seat covers, you can buy cheap stuff that looks bad, or you can buy nice stuff that looks good.

Anyone here know which ones are nice? Thank you

imo if the seats are threadbear its time for seats...arguably the 09 is likely got enough miles on it that the seat foam needs more help than the seat skin

Well in this case, the 09 already has new(er) foam. It's a retired work car with 226k miles on it, and at some point the driver's seat got worn out so we had a local shop replace the foam. The passenger seat and back seats weren't used much, and the foam is still good in those. But the factory seat cover was not replaced, and at this point it would benefit from new covers. You wouldn't just cover one seat, or there would be an obvious mismatch.

As for the 2014, it's seat foam is still ok. And in the event that it does finally wear out, these aftermarket covers could always be removed, then replaced once the foam was redone.

see if they will et you order and find out...i recently pulled a drivers side seat apart at a wrecker just to see if it was a "skin on foam" or "skin sewn foam" and found that atleast with the one i pulled it was glued and sewn into the skin....i also verifyed that aside from a "notch" in one of the side clips and the adition of the carpet "flap" driver and passenger seat bottoms are otherwise exactly the same....so if one was inclined to notch and move the carpet flap driver and passenger skin/foam can be swapped

Yes but some of the aftermarket covers will have a small layer of foam on the underside. This helps a bit if the seat is somewhat worn. Granted you should probably glue down some seat foam before you put on the cover, if this is the case. 1 layer of half inch or 3/8" thick seat foam would go a long way. It would make the cover look nicer and fit better too.
