Genuine sheepskin. Its hollow wool fibers are thermostatic — cool in summer, warm in winter — so the seat surface stays steady and dry over hours behind the wheel, and its roughly 1" dense fleece adds cushion to a hard or worn seat. Action wool delivers a very similar soft wool feel at a lower price and is hand washable.
Both. Sheepskin is thermostatic: air flows between its natural hollow fibers, producing a cooling effect in summer by wicking heat and sweat away from your body. In winter those same hollow fibers trap body heat, creating an insulating effect that keeps you warm but never too hot.
Sheepskin is genuine sheep's wool still on the leather hide, giving a plush, dense ~1" fleece. Action wool is genuine sheep's wool with no leather hide — just the shorn wool sewn into a woven backing. They're similar in look, feel and texture; action wool costs less and is hand washable, while sheepskin offers the deepest, plushest pile.
Yes. Warmth penetrates right through the wool, so you keep your factory heated seats and gain the cushion and comfort of the cover on top.
Action wool is hand washable. Genuine sheepskin is a natural product best maintained by brushing and spot-cleaning rather than machine washing. For either, order all your pieces at the same time so the texture and color match.
Our sheepskin is approximately 1.0" (25mm) of plush, dense fleece cut from solid pelts, so it adds a genuine layer of padding to hard or uncomfortable seats — the difference you notice most on a long drive.
Yes. The Universal Insert Sheepskin puts genuine sheepskin on the middle portion of the seat, exactly where you sit, for a fraction of the cost of a full cover. It installs in minutes and fits cars, trucks, vans and SUVs. Action wool is another lower-cost route to the wool feel.
