Luxury Fleece is our faux sheepskin — a plush synthetic acrylic fleece, approximately 0.71" (18mm) deep, that looks and feels like real sheepskin for roughly 35% less. No animals are harmed to make it, it will not shed, and unlike genuine sheepskin it is hand-washable. Five colors, five fit options starting at $69.99 each. Free shipping on orders over $199.99.

Colors
Luxury Fleece comes in five colors designed to look good in any interior, regardless of manufacturer: Graphite, Gunmetal, Obsidian, Sahara, and Vanilla. Colors are fade resistant and will not change with prolonged sun exposure. We cannot guarantee an exact match to your interior, even with a VIN — send us a photo and we'll gladly offer an opinion on the closest color. See all options on our Luxury Fleece colors page.
Comfort, Protection and Durability
- Comfort — Dense fleece adds cushion to hard seats, stays warm in winter, will not get hot in summer, and lets heated-seat warmth penetrate through.
- Protection — Blocks UV rays that fade and crack upholstery, stops dye transfer from blue jeans, prevents indentations from heavy objects, and eliminates everyday wear from getting in and out.
- Durability — Stain resistant, easy spill cleanup, and an expected lifespan of 6–8 years when cared for properly.
- Construction — Elastic straps and metal hooks, elastic binding on the inside edges, heavy-duty 3-strand polyester threading, and a soft microsuede backing that won't scuff your seats.
Complete the interior with matching Luxury Fleece add-ons — headrest, armrest, console, seat belt, and steering wheel covers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is faux sheepskin as warm as real sheepskin?
Yes for everyday driving. Luxury Fleece is warm in winter, will not get hot in summer, and is fully heated-seat compatible. Genuine sheepskin has a longer 1" fiber and a longer lifespan, but the seasonal comfort is comparable.
Can I wash Luxury Fleece seat covers?
Yes. Hand-wash with a mild detergent or shampoo and allow to air dry — never machine dry. Spot clean with water and mild soap, and light brushing with a wire dog brush restores loft if the fleece mats down. Genuine sheepskin, by contrast, is dry clean only.
Will faux sheepskin shed?
No. Luxury Fleece will not shed, even after many years, and it will not smell bad. It is also hypoallergenic.
Are these covers safe with side airbags?
Yes. All AutoHQ covers are 100% seat-side airbag compatible, using breakaway stitching and Velcro that allow free airbag movement on deployment, even if the cover has shifted.
How long does installation take?
About 20–30 minutes per cover. Covers slip directly over your seats — no tools, no seat removal, no changes to your factory upholstery. Headrest removal is generally required. See our installation instructions and videos.
What's the difference between faux sheepskin and Action Wool?
Luxury Fleece is fully synthetic acrylic; Action Wool is genuine shorn sheep's wool woven into a fabric backing — a "haircut" rather than a hide. Both are hand-washable; Action Wool has a slightly deeper 0.78" fiber and an 8–10 year lifespan.
What is shipping and returns like?
Allow 3–4 business days for processing, then 1–5 business days in transit from our Southern California warehouse. Returnable and refundable for up to 30 days from shipment; 1 year warranty against defects in workmanship and materials.
