Alpine Sheepskin Seat Covers - Universal Size (25mm)

Twenty-five millimetres — that is the pile on this Alpine set, and it is the deeper of the two sheepskin options in the store. The alternative measures 16 mm. The supplier gives the figure and stops there, making no claim that deeper wool is warmer, softer or longer-lasting, and neither do we.

The supplier's own wording, carried straight through

Hide: genuine Australian sheepskin, which is the phrase used in the supplied specification. Depth of pile: 25 mm. Feel: soft and plush. Reverse and skirting: acrylic fur. There is also a line about sheepskin being a natural insulator, warm in winter and close to body temperature in summer — it appears identically on the 16 mm product, so read it as a remark about wool in general and not about this depth in particular.

Three styles, one price

The codes offered on this listing are 3008, 3002 and 3007, and all three cost the same. Nothing in the supplier's data explains the difference between them, which leaves the photographs as the reference point. Look at the images against the code you are about to select.

One pattern, every seat

Universal size, made to fit all vehicles, is what the supplier says. In practice a universal cover is a single generic shape stretched over a seat that was never designed around it, and results vary with the seat. Pronounced bolsters, side levers and built-in controls are the usual sticking points. Only the front row is included. Pockets are fitted front and rear, and fitting needs no trade help.

Read this before you buy

• Cleaning: the supplier provides no washing or care guidance for this sheepskin. None has been added here. Check with them before cleaning.
• Generic pattern: compare your seat shape with the images first.
