Wish you could get loose pillow style plush cloth seats in a modern car? While here’s you answer, and good news, it can be yours for the low, low price of $134.49! Now you’d have to hold me at gunpoint to buy these for my own car, but I imagine many of the CC community will appreciate them, even if only for pure humor.
I probably came across these while aimlessly browsing the world wide web as I was multitasking in at least two other things, something I habitually do. Don’t they look very B-body Buick Park Avenue-esque? But wait, theres more! Maybe these seat covers look a bit too stock for you (1970s speaking of course)…
Well how about these! Perfect for the special princess or pimp in you life!
Just . . . wow. Funny how we were just recently talking about J C Whitney, because this would be a natural for their catalog.
And I love the lumbar support mechanism.
“Straight out of JC Whitney” was my immediate thought, as well.
That purple steering wheel cover is the ultimate !!!, for someone !!, but not for me. Agree with J P, very funny.
I would totally buy that, except it only comes in sets and I never use any seat but the driver’s. But if I could get the driver’s seat only for $40, I absolutely would.
Yes, of course, because of the local roads with excessive potholes. If I can, I want small rims with big tires maybe white wall tires so the thick tires can reduce the bump from the road further.
Or, with all those in a Ford Fusion Sport so the suspension will automatically adjust to the potholes.

Cue the old lady “Now THAT looks like a Buick!”
Wish I still had a Miata; just install the tan ones in that little interior and it’d be like driving while engulfed in a teddy bear.
You know I kind of liked the old pillow tufted seats. So long as they fit the character of the rest of the car.
These look awful.
These remind me of the toilet seat covers I used to see in the homes of old ladies. The idea may have had some merit but the execution, well, didn’t.
I don’t trust any toilet seat that can’t be wiped clean with bleach.
Ditto. And being five years old while aiming with one hand and holding up the stupid, carpeted toilet seat with the other hand was a real PITA.
My grandma’s house has a carpeted bathroom upstairs–not because of any pretense of luxury, but because when they built the place (1987), Grandpa bought the carpet wholesale, found out he got waaaay too much, and wasn’t gonna throw away “perfectly good carpet.” So hey, let’s carpet the bathroom for the hell of it.
Thankfully, the toilet is normal. And we don’t use that upstairs bathroom much anyway–grandma has her own master bath, and the downstairs is regular tile.
The house I grew up in, built in 1977, had carpet in the bathrooms and kitchen. My mom still has carpet in the bathrooms and dining room.
In the kitchen!!??? That’s one of the craziest things I’ve ever heard. In the bathroom is bad enough, but I’m used to seeing it here and there. I don’t know that I’ve ever heard of a carpeted kitchen.
How long before it was ripped out?
I like the concept, I don’t like the execution. If you could get individual seat covers and the design was a bit different, I would consider pillow seat covers.
Also, they only come in beige. No one with working optical receptors would take beige covers in a black or gunmetal grey interior that most cars come with.
I think people want brougham back. I mean you can only go so high with anything — and then what? We’ve seen the perfect cars in all the classes. Why not settle back into something that is just plain comfortable, like a poofy Lazy-Boy chair and its associated accoutrements.
I like me some brougham, but those seat covers are just awful, and can’t match these originals for class and style.
I don’t know why I’m trying to make these work, but the biggest problem is you have tan covers inside a grey interior in one picture and super fly purple in another car with tan interior. Much as everyone makes fun of 70s velour loose pillow interiors at least they were properly color coordinated.
Pillowy seats will come back again…. I promise…. Like they once were the elite in carriages… Then Out of style in cars, then in style…. then out…. Just like the mini skirt….. They’ll be back… and some will like it… And others will pretend they don’t….
You mentioned the Buick Park Avenue in your article as a reference to the seating design.
Perhaps. But I was thinking more along the lines of the 1974-76 Cadillac Fleetwood Talisman interior.

😮! I would never want to even get out of a car with seats like that, lol!
