The leather on my driver's seat is too far gone for repair (had a leather repair guy check it out). I really should put a seat cover on, just to prevent the creases from turning into a tear.
I like the idea of a soft cushy sheepskin seat cover, but I'm not sure.
I've had them before and enjoyed having them. It totally depends on the car as to how it will look. The color of your car, the color of the interior and the color of the sheepskins.

My car has a light brown/beige/tan interior - so color-wise they would be fine.
Do they get hot in the summer? Do they make the seat more comfortable?
A simple Yes or No works much better for a poll. Both my car and my truck have heated and ventilated seats. Using any type of seat covers will render both ineffective.

quality properly tanned and trimmed to a reasonable length sheepskins are not hot in the summer ... they allow for air movement through the fibers.
I've used them for over 40 years and there isn't one car where the sheepskins didn't make the seat more comfortable. I use them in my airplane, too, for the same reasons.
OTOH, I've seen "cheap" or poor tanning quality sheepskins be a problem ... so this is not an item to cheap out on. Especially the ones that "smell" bad when left out in the sun.

They are comfortable, but look silly on a newer car. I have had them on an old beater pickup when the original covers split, but now most cars will have heat or even cooling in the seats, and people don't keep them long enough to wear out the fabric or leather.
