Default Does anyone make a quality sheepskin seat cover for the ES350?

My wife is notoriously hard on the driver's seat in her car. She works out every day and gets in all sweaty and this causes accelerated wear on the leather so I want to help protect it if at all possible. Taking showers at the gym isn't really an option.

I think the seats have air bags in them if I'm not mistaken.
Double check before you put a seat cover on it.

I think Lexusxoxo is correct in saying that the seats contain air bags that should not be covered with a cover. Also a good quality sheepskin over the less than durable leather now being used would probably prove detrimental to the car seat. I have had good quality sheepsking (in the 80's) over pretty good leather and even then they were hard on the leather surface. And since I'm just assumng you have the leather seats the cooling/heating function would not function either.

And lastly, I'm not even sure good quality sheepskins are even available anymore.

How about a thick, oversized terry cloth towel? Throw it on and off as needed. And, wash as needed.

That's exactly what I do each time I leave the Gym. Keeps the sweat off the seats during my drive home. This is a much better option than a seat cover, IMO
