Back seat covers protect the row that takes the most abuse — kids, dogs, car seats, groceries, and gear. AutoHQ patterns rear covers for split benches, solid benches, 60/40 and 40/20/40 splits, captain's chairs, and third rows, in leatherette, neoprene, air mesh, ballistic nylon, sheepskin, and action wool. Rear rows are sold separately from the front, so you can cover just the back seat. Free shipping on orders over $199.99.
Choose Your Rear-Seat Fit
Rear benches vary far more than front buckets, so fit is what separates a cover that looks factory from one that shifts and bunches. Here's how the levels compare:

Best Materials for the Back Seat
- Leatherette — Wipe-clean and water-resistant, so juice, mud, and snack crumbs come off with a damp cloth. Also available in a quilted Diamond pattern.
- Neoprene — Water-resistant and grippy. The go-to for dogs, wet gear, beach days, and potty-training years.
- Ballistic Nylon — Heavy-duty abrasion resistance for tools, crates, and cargo hauled on the rear bench.
- Air Mesh — Breathable and ventilated, which keeps rear passengers cooler in hot climates where the back row gets the most sun.
- Genuine Sheepskin — Naturally insulating and plush for long road trips; sold as singles for individual rear positions.
- Action Wool — Sheepskin comfort at a lower price, with a tighter, more durable pile.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I order the back seat only?
Yes. Rear rows are priced and sold separately from the front, so you can cover just the back seat. Front covers are sold as a pair per row.
Do back seat covers work with child car seats and LATCH anchors?
Our custom and semi-custom rear covers are cut with access to seat-belt slots and lower anchor points. Route the belt and LATCH straps through the openings — never over the cover — so the child seat installs directly against the vehicle seat.
Will the covers work with a folding rear bench?
Yes. Rear covers are patterned as separate sections that follow your split, so a 60/40 or 40/20/40 bench still folds for cargo. Center armrests and pass-throughs are accounted for on custom and semi-custom patterns.
Which back seat covers are best for dogs?
Neoprene and ballistic nylon resist claws, hair, and moisture best. Also see our dog seat covers for full rear-bench and hammock-style coverage.
Are back seat covers waterproof?
Neoprene and leatherette are highly water-resistant and repel spills, sweat, and wet gear. For maximum protection, see our dedicated waterproof seat covers.
What about the middle row of my SUV or minivan?
Second-row buckets and captain's chairs are covered in middle row seat covers. For a single rear position, see single seat covers; for bottoms only, see seat bottom covers.
How long does installation take?
A rear bench typically takes 30–60 minutes with no tools or permanent changes; EasyFit covers install in about 5 minutes. Step-by-step installation instructions are included.
How much do back seat covers cost?
Semi-custom rear rows start at $229.99, ExactFit at $319.99, and fully custom at $449.99 per row. Orders over $199.99 ship free, and there's no sales tax outside California.
