Reviews: Best Seat Covers For Jeep Wrangler
PU leather seat covers that will fit your Jeep Wrangler JK/JL. Designed to be compatible with side airbags.
Style
Smart appearance couple with lovely soft PU leather, that feels close to real leather, makes the Luckyman Club seat cover an eye-pleasing upgrade.
Although, these are not full coverage they are designed to fit well and look like they were made for the Jeep Wrangler JK and JL.
The partial coverage offered by these seat covers also ensures that the side airbags can function without needing to make any adjustments yourself.
Rear seat passengers can use the pockets located on the back of the front seats to store small toys, books, etc.
An issue that those who like to off-road should consider is that, due to the seat covers being exposed at the sides, there is a chance that mud, etc, will get on to the original seats.
If this is a concern, you might want to consider the Oasis Auto seat cover, which offers a more complete coverage while still having a sleek soft leather-like look and feel.
Material
Made from quality PU Leather that is soft to the touch and is also waterproof, which is perfect for being able to wipe away spills quickly.
There is a multi-layered composition of the material which contains a padded layer for comfort but is also lined with a suede-like non-slip material that helps keep the seat covers in place.
The sleek look might make people think that these won’t endure frequent use with animals, however, the manufacturer is confident that they are scratch-proof.
To be fair there is some customer feedback that also backs this up. Indeed, you shouldn’t be afraid to let the kids loose on these seat covers, as they should survive well.
Comfort
A sandwiched sponge layer of padding helps add to the comfort that should already be provided by the original seat covers.
On top of that, the soft leatherette contributes to this comfort.
The non-slip lining will also ensure that you will not be sliding around too much during use.
If you have removed the doors from your Jeep Wrangler, then there is a chance that the back of the seat covers might need extra securing otherwise the back of them might flap around in the wind whilst driving.
Installation
These seat covers are easy to install and generally can be fitted in around half an hour. The instructions seem adequate to follow, but customer feedback suggests that these can be worked out even without the use of the instructions.
They are also light and easy to move around when you’re trying to work out where to start the installation.
Pros
- Looks smart
- The leatherette is soft yet durable
- Waterprook material good for spills
- Easy to install
Cons
- Lack of full coverage doensn't complete protection to original seats
Overall
An excellent set of seat covers that are extremely easy to install. They seem durable and seem ready for everyday family use.
As mentioned earlier, those who like a bit off-roading might need to reconsider, if they are worried about mud, etc, getting through to the original seats.
However, if this isn’t a concern, then these are a recommended upgrade to freshen up your Jeep Wrangler JK/JL interior
These are a set of seat covers that will fit Jeep Wrangler JK models from 2011-2018. There are sets for the 2-door and 4-door variation and are side airbag compatible.
Style
Available in a main color of black with the trim available in multiple colors. The cool thing about these seats is that you can add your own text to display on the backrest.
The dark color helps to give a neutral appearance which allows the custom text to subtly offset this.
Installation
These Totally Covers seat covers are light and easy to maneuver making the installation process less physically demanding than many other types of seat covers.
This doesn’t mean that installation is completely straightforward, however. It doesn’t come with adequate instructions which is both disappointing and baffling.
Needless to say that this makes it a bit tricky to figure out how best to secure the seat covers around and beneath the seats, especially when trying to position them so as to not rub against any wiring.
While tricky without instructions, installation can still be achieved by working things with the aid of a generic seat cover install video found on YouTube.
Once installed the fit is snug, secure, and covers most of the seat. Indeed, looking from the front you shouldn’t see any of the original seats, although there are some openings at the back and sides.
Comfort
With the padding being quite thin some may be a tad disappointed at first glance. But of course, as the original seats already have adequate cushioning, this should be a minor concern.
Also, the taut fit gives a secure and natural feel for the user, which is probably in part attributable to this thin layered fabric.
Material
Made from elasticated cotton, these seat covers are light and fairly comfortable. For the money, the material could have felt more robust and give more of a feeling of high quality.
Also, these seat covers aren’t waterproof, but they are machine washable, which is a plus although the manufacturer advises against dry cleaning.
Pros
- The fit is fairly snug
- Machine washable
- Customizable text on the back rest
- Light, making it easy to maneuver during installation
Cons
- Customer feedback highlighted a lack of instructions
- Thin material feels a little flimsy
Overall
For the price, we feel that the Totally Covers seat covers could feel more high-end than the thin material gives the impression of. The lack of adequate instructions is also a major oversight from the manufacturers in our opinion.
Having said that, the manufacturers give you an opportunity to add your own text to the backrest which is a cool feature.
Generally speaking, these seem like an adequate set of seat covers for your Jeep Wrangler.

What to consider when shopping for a Jeep Wrangler seat cover
When shopping for seat covers there are so many things to look out for and consider before making that all-important purchase. Such concerns can include:
- How compatible are they for your specific Jeep Wranger model
- How easy or difficult they are they to install
- Which material is best and why
- What is meant by “custom-fit”
Material
Seat covers tend to be made from a small number of material groups.
- PU Leather
- Neoprene
- Cotton
The choice people make obviously hinges on personal preference but also lifestyle. For example, will they be transporting family and pets around?
Neoprene
Neoprene is a material that has high hydrophobic properties, basically making it waterproof.
Due to the molecular structure of the neoprene (or polychloroprene), they also naturally have a bouncy texture which gives them the padding that we associate with this material.
They are used to make more things than people might give credit for. For example:
- Wetsuits and other watersport related activewear
- Orthopedic braces
- Personal Protective Equipment
- Gym equipment
- and of course seat covers
What we like about neoprene seat covers:
- Water proof properties make it easy to wipe down in the event of spill
- Highly breathable making great for hot climates, or sweaty conditions
- It's naturally cushioning makes it comfortable
- When used to make seatcovers they are light and easy to move around
What we don’t like about neoprene:
- May not offer the same level of styling that some leatherette options can provide
Leather/PU Leather
Leather seat covers tend to present a sleek stylish look and feel as well as also offering durability and waterproof features.
Indeed some are durable enough to withstand the rigors of regular family use. But maybe stop short of letting the pet dogs loose on them.
They also have a good selection of styles to choose from usually.
What we like about Leather seat covers:
- Easy to wipe spills from
- Durable. Good for regular usage
- Sleek appearances
- Tend to be available in many styles and colours
What we don’t like about leather:
- Not recommended for those with pets
Cotton Blend
Seats made from cotton blend fabric usually have a higher durability level than neoprene and leatherette and are thus typically found in the heavy-duty examples.
Having said that they can also be designed as light and breathable. It depends on what the manufacturer is going for.
The main drawback of cotton blend seat covers is that they are not usually waterproof, however, they can be machine washed.
What we like about cotton-blend seat covers:
- Versatile option, can be hard wearing or light and breathable
- Durable
- Usually machine washable
What we don’t like about cotton-blend seat covers:
- Not waterproof
Installation
You’ll find that some seat covers are so easy to install that simply throwing it over the backrest of the seat will likely be as stressful as installation gets.
However, some other seat covers require a bit more working out. With this in mind, it’s important to understand if the seat covers will come with adequate instructions, or if the instructions are available anywhere online.
Indeed, some manufacturers put special effort into making such instructional material available on their product page (Oasis Auto do this well). We have also included such videos as part of our reviews above.
Universal Fit seat cover
The purpose of universal seat covers is to provide the customer with more flexibility with respect to which models they will fit. Be it different Jeeps models, or makes and models across a vehicle class, like trucks or SUVs.
For this very reason, universal seat covers rarely achieve full coverage of the seat as the more generic fitment will inevitably have some exposed areas.
Having said that, they are designed quite well and still look and fit excellent in good examples.
In contrast to custom-fit seat covers (we’ll talk about these later), universally fit seat covers can be less complicated to install.
What we like about universal-fit seat covers:
- Flexibility of fit
- Easier installation
What we don’t like about universal-fit seat covers:
- Not full coverage
Custom Fit Seat Covers
In contrast to universal fit seat covers, the custom fit variety is designed to specifically fit your Jeep Wrangler model.
In very well designed examples they can appear almost OEM-like in terms of fit and finish. This includes providing full coverage.
Installation can at times be very tricky with some designs so it can be vitally important that the instructions provided are easy to follow.
Once installation is successfully completed they will usually look more natural than universal fit seat covers, depending on the quality of the design.
What we like about custom-fit seat covers:
- Usually a better fit for the specifc model
- In the best examples you can expect an almost factory standard fit
What we don’t like about custom-fit seat covers:
- Installation can be time consuming
- Can take a couple hours to install
Look for Recommendations
Knowing someone that has tried out the seat cover you are interested can be an invaluable source of information. Especially from people you know and trust.
However, even if you don’t know people that have experience using it, customer feedback should also be considered a good resource.
What is the purpose of a seat cover?
The main reason people use seat covers is to protect the seat underneath them, be they leather or upholstered.
If left unprotected, leather seats can slowly dry and crack, essentially destroying them eventually. Upholstered seat fabric is not so susceptible to drying and cracking, but can be very tough to clean effectively if stained badly.
In both cases, wear and tear can cause abrasions to the seat cover surface which will become noticeable in the medium to long-term if protection isn’t provided. Seat covers are excellent at providing protection for seats.
Conclusion
After reading this you will hopefully be more informed of the many great options there out there for your Jeep Wrangler. In particular, you will have seen that there are a great many styles that can suit pretty much any taste.
