Sheepskin seat covers

Thinking of upgrading the seats with some type of covers, sure would give my butt a break during trips and just general driving comfort overall. Have any of you guys done this? I like the Custom grade 2nd level sheepskin, goes over the front, sides and skirt. Maybe the Tailor-Made, but those are getting really pricey. Wondering if they are a simple remove the seat and slip-over install, or is any disassembly req'd? Take a look here:

The grey looks like it would match well with the Fit's interior

Sheepskin Seat Covers

I get them for all our cars and adore them. Warm in the winter and cool in summer. Just got charcoal for my 2015 Fit. Shear Comfort out of Vancouver did a great job. Well priced and fit great. I did not order the "tailor made" but ordered the next level down, "custom", I think. I have leather seats and did not get the head rest cover. Go for it!

Big decision

Trying to decide which color I want first, maybe the medium gray is the best match? I had considered the camel as I like more natural colors as well, but don't want to look gaudy or weird in a daily driver. My base Fit is dark gray interior trim with the stock vinyl (leather) seats. And I believe it has seat airbags, found the little black tag on the side of the seat. I believe they are designed with that taken care of. I like the fact that the Custom level is made from 100% sheepskin with no imitation pieces. Any good reason to consider the Tailor-Made or Premium levels, last longer or better pile? Just way more expensive unless there's any big benefit.

Took a look at some other sheep covers from AutoAnything

http://m.autoanything.com/seat-covers/67A1518A0A0.aspx

Was having difficulty picking a color shade I liked from Shear Comfort. Warranty on these is 2 yrs, and better price for tailor-made fit. Chat session with an agent to answer a few questions, he is sending 3 color samples gratis for me to have a closer look at the skin/pelt in colors I chose. I think this will turn out really cozy and last quite a long time. A friend bought me a gift of a genuine sheepskin pelt rug from Europe several years ago, and there is nothing else like it to touch the luxurious texture of the pelt. Cleaning can be done with Eucalan eucalyptus cleaner, very mild and safe for natural skins, keeping them soft and fluffy.

The only thing I don't like about sheepskin covers is that they are a bit hard to clean and maintain.
