CB sheepskin seat covers

[Schllc]

I’ve purchased the covers from Aerosheep, and another source in the past,  but there were some details that I didn’t quite like. The big one was that they are bulky between the seats and a bit heavier than they need to be. 
I found these on Amazon and laid them on the seats, marked them for a better fit, and then brought them to an upholstery shop to cut them down and clean them up.  They are made for a car seat so they are way too large for our little airplane seats. 
This worked really well and got both covers for the front seats for less than a third of what one cover from Aerosheep would cost. 
It is only a top cover for the seat and back, not a full slip cover, but the straps are well located prevent the cover from moving around enough to be a problem. 

I brought them back to the upholstery shop after I fit them today to fix a strap that had a broken buckle but I will post some pics of them installed when I get them back. 
$120 for two seat covers, $100 to have both modified by upholsterer.

Below is the link, and they are very high quality!

Does the car version have burn certs? 

[Schllc]

I didn’t ask, and don’t really see a need to, it’s no different than sitting on a pillow or towel. 
If you want them I’m pretty sure certifying the material isn’t complicated or expensive.

The tight space in our planes between the outbound side of the seats and the side panels is a particular concern for Mooneys.  I am planning to but a fur sewing machine to enable making sheepskin seat covers for myself.  I have Ovation seats so the seat bottom is velcroed to the bottom seat pan, and the back is as normally attached.  I plan to make covers that have a sheepskin face on the seat bottom and seat back, and then have regular leather elsewhere.  They will be made so the seat bottom slides into the bottom cover which is made like a pouch, and the back seat cover slides over the back from the top (headrest removed before installing).  They will be tailored to the seat without any straps, and there will be an opening in the back to access the seat pockets.  

I am now retired from medicine and am willing to take on some projects.  The other two people have contacted me about are 1) making travel boards, and 2) teflon seals for vintage flap pumps.  I have some deadlines lurking for the next couple of months, but have not forgotten about these requests.  I would be interested in doing sheepskin seat covers for people interested.  The easiest would be Ovation owners as those are the seats I have (1998 model) and will have the patterns made, but I am up for requests.

Your are right about it being bulky between the seats..I had the same problem .. remedy was I got small rubber bungy hold down clips, added clips under the seat and pulled excess under the seat...they do make a great cover..extremely comfortable to me
