Over at Ruff Tuff, they take pride in their work just like we do at TigerTough. They're family-owned and have been in the custom seat cover game since 1976, crafting their products right here in the USA. They stand by creating high-quality seat covers with precise patterns and durable fabrics, ensuring each cover fits snugly and lasts long.

They’ve got a variety of different seat cover lines, but we ordered a set of their Dura EZ-Care covers for 2023 Ford F-150 to compare them with TigerTough seat covers.

Let’s see how they do.

The Delivery

Ruff Tuff Packaging

These arrived in a branded big ole brown box. Inside, we found the seat covers protected with plastic, something that looked like a plastic tongue depressor, and super detailed instructions. There are lots of words on those instructions and not many photos, but we’re okay with reading. 

A really cool thing they do is put a QR code on the seat cover tag so that you can easily get to the installation instructions and videos.

TigerTough Packaging

When your TigerTough seat covers arrive, they come in a branded poly mailer. We don’t get fancy with boxes when shipping is cheaper and easier with polymailers. You’ll also get a set of full-color instructions tailored to your vehicle's make and model. Say you've got a 2019 Nissan Frontier, you'll receive a set of guidelines crafted precisely for fitting TigerTough covers to your Frontier's seats for a smooth installation process.

Design and material of the seat cover

Ruff Tuff Design and Material

We contacted Ruff Tuff’s customer service, and they say their Dura EZ-Care material is made of “a 600 Denier polyester blend canvas material.” It’s a sturdy fabric and feels really durable. The site says they’re water-resistant and great for kids and pets. There’s a foam backing on the portions you’d come in contact with, like the seat back and bottom.

They have decorative stitching along the back, which looks nice, but it’s something we don’t suggest because it makes the seat cover weaker. If you’re going for looks over durability, then have at it!

TigerTough Design and Material

We craft each cover in three separate parts for a complete fit, similar to Ruff Tuff's method, yet we stay true to using 1000-Denier CORDURA throughout for unmatched durability.

The fabric of our seat covers is rigorously tested to handle the harshest conditions. We avoid any fancy stitching that might compromise durability, opting only for embroidery in low-wear zones, which won’t affect the cover's integrity.

Installation

Ruff Tuff Installation

We spent about 10 minutes installing the Ruff Tuff seat cover. And the tongue depressor stick it came with was really handy! In fact, we’ll keep it around to install future covers and save some fingers in the process. That’s a genius addition to the shipping box.

Here’s how their seat covers are attached:

• The seat back fits snuggly and velcros to the seat itself
• The seat bottom has straps that run under the front and back that fasten under the seat
• There’s also a string that runs from side to side that you tie underneath the seat

TigerTough Installation

Getting TigerTough seat covers on your seats can be a pain. It takes us about 9 minutes for a complete installation, and we’ve been doing this for a while. Though we've got the process down, even those new to our covers should find it a straightforward task with just a tad more time.

We offer in-depth guides and installation videos customized for each vehicle model.  

Here's how TigerTough seat covers fit into place:

• The cover for the seat bottom extends under the entire seat, firmly securing itself with robust hook & loop fasteners (that’s the generic term for Velcro).
• Our unique StringLock system encircles the base of the seat bottom, pulling everything snugly together under the seat just like a drawstring, making sure the cover stays put without any slip or slide.

Check out our full installation expectations to learn more.

Headrest

Ruff Tuff doesn’t include headrest covers as a standard feature. We didn’t realize this when ordering–whoops, so we can’t review this portion of the seat cover. But we will say that we believe headrest covers should be standard. If your vehicle’s interior needs seat covers, it’s in need of headrest covers, too.

Headrest covers are an additional $68 in the Ruff Tuff Dura EZ-Care option.

Seatback

Ruff Tuff Seatback

The seatback cover fits really well, with detailed stitching and foam backing. We typically don’t recommend foam in a seat cover because it degrades over time and can leave the cover baggy. It won't affect function, but it will affect fit.

PSA about foam: Just like the cushioning in your work boots, foam starts out supportive and snug, but over time, it compresses and loses its oomph. When that happens, those boots don't fit the same, and you don't get the same support. It's the same deal with foam in seat covers.

Ruff Tuff has seatback pocket options available, which we love.

TigerTough Seatback

Our seat covers hug the back of your seats tightly for a glove-like fit. For customization, you can add a seatback pocket and embroidery. 

Seat crease and bottom

Since both seat covers are made from multiple pieces, they both have clean-looking creases that fit the seats well.

They also tuck into the seat bottom's plastic trim, allowing access to the seat controls. You might think this is a standard in seat covers, but we’ve met some that cover up your controls.

Airbag safety

Since 2014, vehicles have required side airbags, thanks to federal regulations. These lifesavers are often tucked right into your seat. And they've been pulling their weight for a long while, with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration tallying up over 2,000 lives saved by side airbags from '96 to '12. Back then, less than half the vehicles on the road had 'em, but now? They're pretty much everywhere.

Any seat cover company worth its salt knows how crucial safety is, whether it's just your own work truck or a whole fleet you're running.

Ruff Tuff Airbag Compatibility

Ruff Tuff’s approach to airbag safety is interesting. The version we received has the entire side seam come apart with velcro. So, in the event of a collision, the airbag will deploy and break through the velcro-secured side. They have another version with simply a cutout for the airbag to deploy. The version you get is based on your vehicle.

TigerTough Airbag Compatibility 

Every TigerTough cover's got a tearaway seam right down the side—so if your airbags need to bust out, they can do their job with no problem. Independent labs have tested our covers to ensure they’ll do what they need to do in a collision. Here's to hoping you'll never need it, but you're good to go if you do.

Warranty and Returns

Ruff Tuff Warranty and Returns

Ruff Tuff offers a limited one-year warranty against manufacturer’s defects under normal use. Pretty standard, but not impressive.

Unfortunately, their covers aren’t returnable (except for their Flex OPS line). So make sure you really want these covers before you confirm the order. Because once you get them, they’re yours for life. 

TigerTough Warranty and Returns

Our vehicle seat covers have a two-year, unconditional warranty. And we mean that. If they somehow get damaged in whatever it is that you do in your vehicle, we’ll replace or repair them. We stand by our covers. 

If you don’t like your TigerTough seat covers, we’ll accept returns within 30 days of you receiving them. You just need to be sure they’re in like-new condition.

Price

This is why you’re ultimately reading this, right? Seat covers can have a crazy range in prices. So, for comparison, we used a 2023 Ford F-150 for spec. 

How much does Ruff Tuff cost?

We ordered a set of their Dura EZ-Care seat covers for $367. But don’t forget–we didn’t get headrest covers with our order, so we’d have to spend another $68 on those. 

For full-coverage with Ruff Tuff, you’re looking at about $435. We also had to pay $25 for shipping. We won’t add that to the total price of these seat covers, but that’s something to consider.

Update: As of 5/19/2025, the same seat covers will cost $383 plus $72 for headrest covers for a total of $455.

How much does TigerTough cost?

To fully cover your two front seats with TigerTough, it will cost around $317. We give you free shipping on any $100+ order within the 48 contiguous states.

Overview

It all comes down to what you want and what your budget allows. For what it’s worth, we think you’ll get everything you need from TigerTough at a pretty good savings compared to Ruff Tuff. We’d say that even if ToughTough wasn’t signing our paychecks.

Ruff Tuff is a great option that will work hard for you. We wish they came with headrest covers, and maybe had a better way to fasten the string underneath the seats. But they’ll absolutely get the job done.

If you want something rugged and meant to withstand hard use, like construction environments or excited farm dogs, we’d encourage you to try TigerTough. Because hey, if you order them and hate ‘em, they’re returnable. And bonus: You can’t destroy them (and even if you manage to, we’ll replace them in the first two years).

Maybe after reading this comparison, neither of these brands really work for you. That’s cool, but you should definitely check out the best seat covers for work trucks and find something that meets your needs.

*Price based on purchasing with headrest covers. 

When we researched top seat covers for work trucks, we didn’t just pick the ones at the top of Google. We asked blue-collar men and women what kinds of covers they’ve tried in their trucks, and this is the list they came up with:

Covercraft Endura PrecisionFit
Covercraft Carhartt SeatSavers
Wet Okole
Marathon
Canvasback
ShearComfort CORDURA®
VERTEX OFF-ROAD
TigerTough

Since we’re comparing covers for work trucks, we used a 2023 Ford F150 regular cab for pricing and research. Let’s get right into highlighting these seat-savers.

Covercraft Endura PrecisionFit

It’s nearly impossible to Google truck seat covers without Covercraft popping up. We give them credit. They’ve been in the business for over 50 years and have a great product with a stellar reputation. 

They make seat covers and covers for cars, boats, RVs, airplanes, and patio furniture. First, let's take a look at the Endura PrecisionFit. 

The fabric for the Endura PrecisionFit is vague. According to the description, it’s a canvas-nylon-polyester blend. But what does that mean? We contacted customer service to learn more, and they didn’t elaborate beyond the product description. It’s tough to know how durable their covers are without knowing more about the fabric. 

Price: $514

Pros

✅ Waterproof

✅ Airbag-safe

✅ Works with heated and cooled seats

✅ Fits factory seats perfectly 

Cons

❌ Fabric is uncertain

❌ Only a limited warranty available

Verdict

This is a great seat cover, and we don’t think you’ll be disappointed. But it’s at the top of the price range for a set of bucket seat covers for a 2023 Ford F150 Regular Cab. If you can get them on sale, they might be a worthwhile investment, but we can’t say for how long without knowing more about their material.

Covercraft Carhartt SeatSavers

Everyone loves Carhartt. We get it. Their reputation is undeniable. They've got that classic look of your grandpa's favorite jacket; overall, we feel nostalgic about them. The brand has been around since 1889 even though Covercraft Carhartt SeatSavers are newer to the market, so let's look at how these cover stand up to some others.

Price: $422

Pros

✅ Great reputation

✅ You know exactly what you're going to get

✅ Air-bag safe

Cons

❌ Limited colors

❌ Not waterproof

❌ They don't stay in place

❌ Not as durable as other seat covers

Verdict

While we have a lot of respect for Carhartt, when it comes to choosing seat covers, we’d actually lean towards Covercraft’s Endura PrecisionFit over the Carhartt SeatSavers. It's not just about the price; the PrecisionFit covers just seem to fit better and provide more value. If you’re into a variety of colors, you might find the two-color options of these covers a bit limiting. And the two-piece design? It tends to slide around on the seat because of how it's fastened. Since these are an expensive choice, we really hoped for a bit more from them.

Wet Okole

Okay, we know what you’re thinking…this is about work truck seat covers, and most of us aren’t driving around Baywatch trucks. Yep, this is a wet suit in seat cover form. We didn’t think it would be a fair comparison either, but after hearing from multiple people in the construction industry who love their Wet Okole seat covers, we decided to give these a fair shake.

Since they’re made from wetsuit neoprene and bonded with nylon, they’re waterproof and totally safe on vehicle seats. 

Ashley DeCurtis, VP of Sales for BuildWitt, bought a used Nissan Xterra and considered the leather seats' condition, “I didn’t want to make it worse,” she says. What attracted her to Wet Okole was that the covers were pliable and waterproof, “they’re great for anything in wet environments.” 

What ultimately sold her was the complete customization from colors to piping to embroidered headrests. Wet Okole has dozens of add-ons, like seatback pockets, front lower pockets, lumbar support, carbon fiber seat heaters, and sunglass pouches.

DeCurtis is no stranger to the blue collar world, being a former police officer and now speaking to contractors daily in her role at BuildWitt, so she knows what kind of abuse work trucks see. Although she’s had the seat covers in her Xterra for four years; she questions whether they’d withstand the use they’d see in a work truck.

However, Brent Fox, a contractor in the Nashville area, can speak to the durability. "I had Wet Okole in the truck I just retired. Rode on them for 12 years and, at some point, sent them back for a refurb. They were a great product and easy company to work with."

Price: $374

Pros

✅ Easily washable

✅ Self-extinguishing 

✅ Airbag safe

Cons

❌ Only a 90-day warranty

❌ No returns accepted

Verdict

These seat covers really do a solid job of protecting the seats in your work truck, almost like a wetsuit, and you can even clean them with wetsuit shampoo. They’re self-extinguishing, which is a big plus if you ever find yourself dealing with flames inside your truck. Plus, they're designed to be airbag safe as they don’t cover the side of the seat where the airbag is located. Airbag safety is a must for us.

At first, we were a bit skeptical, but these covers have received great reviews. We really appreciate the custom fit and how easy they are to clean. However, at $374 a pair, they’re not exactly budget-friendly, and the very limited warranty makes us a bit hesitant to give them our full endorsement.

Marathon

We'll just come out and say it: Marathon used to make a darn good seat cover. But since Covercraft bought them out, the quality has gone downhill. We did a side-by-side comparison of old vs new Marathon seat covers so you can see what we're talking about.

Their covers are made from 1000-denier CORDURA®. 

Price: $460

Pros

✅ Lots of colors

✅ Made from CORDURA®

✅ Waterproof

✅ Airbag safe

✅ Many customizable options

Cons

❌ Headrest covers aren't included

❌ Not made in America

❌ Reports of poor quality since switching manufacturers

Verdict

If you can find old Marathon seats, buy them. They'll be a great investment in protecting your truck.

Read Marathon vs. TigerTough Seat Covers

Canvasback

We won’t lie; we hadn’t heard of this brand until Ambre Schaffer, Marketing Director at Aggtrans, pointed them out. These seat covers are a one-size-fits-most style, so consider that when ordering. You won’t be getting a custom fit for your seats.

Canvasback seems to be best known for their cargo liners. Liners are custom fit for your vehicle’s cargo space and attach with hook and loop.

Ambre confirms the durability and easy installation, “[the cargo liner] is custom fit to your specific vehicle and velcros right in place. They've been installed for three years without budging or showing any signs of wear. If I needed to remove them, they'd pull right up.

"In addition to carrying around all of my photography/videography gear and field gear for construction, I'm a search and rescue handler with a k9. We're usually covered in mud and debris.” 

With a review like that, we had to include this option.

Price: $150

Pros

Durable cargo liners customized to fit most vehicles. Despite not having custom-fit seat covers, the covers are at the bottom of our price range at $140 for a pair of bucket seat covers. On top of all this, Canvasback is woman-owned, and we think that’s pretty cool.

✅ Inexpensive

✅ Fits most vehicles

✅ Woman-owned company

Cons

❌ Not custom fit

❌ Limited six-month warranty

Verdict

We probably wouldn’t put these in a work truck to protect the seats, but we like the cargo liner options. If you’ve got a dog or use your cargo space a good deal, we’d suggest looking into Canvasback. Plus, we can’t help but love that they’re made in Minnesota.

ShearComfort CORDURA® 

Like TigerTough, these covers are made from CORDURA®. It’s a slightly different kind though. ShearComfort uses a heavy duty 500 denier CORDURA® fabric, which isn’t as durable as the 1000 Denier CORDURA® we use. But this is still going to be a durable seat cover.

Price: $405

Pros

These airbag-safe seat covers are waterproof, durable, and guaranteed to fit perfectly. There’s a lot to love about them, and they’d perform well in a work truck.

✅ Waterproof

✅ Guaranteed perfect fit

✅ Airbag safe

Cons

❌ They don't use CORDURA® on their entire seat cover

❌ Price is a little high

❌ Limited Warranty

Verdict

They’re tough and built for hard work, but we don't love that ShearComfort doesn't use CORDURA® on the entire seat cover. They only use it on the portions you'd touch when sitting in the seat. The rest is made of a thin, stretchy material which will give out over time. They have great reviews from their customers. ShearComfort is a good option for your work truck, but not the best.

Read ShearComfort CORDURA® 1000 Denier Xtra-Duty vs. TigerTough Seat Covers

VERTEX OFF-ROAD

VERTEX OFF-ROAD is a newer company, started in 2021, and they specialize in truck seat covers. They consider themselves "American craftsman and enthusiasts committed to building top-quality products that help you upgrade and protect your truck for everywhere the road ahead takes you."

Well, what's not to love about that? Let's look at their 1000-Denier CORDURA® Canvas seat covers.

Price: $400

Pros

✅ Use CORDURA® nylon on their colvers

✅ Automatically include a center console cover

✅ Lifetime warranty, albeit limited

✅ Airbag safe

Cons

❌ Foam-backed seat covers (foam breaks down over time)

❌ Limited vehicle line

Verdict

We love that they're using CORDURA® nylon canvas for this particular cover. They also automatically include a center console cover and pockets for the seatbacks. They also have a lifetime warranty and seem pretty flexible, but it does exclude everyday wear and tear. 

This is the first time we've run across another brand that uses a string to cinch around the seat for a secure fit. It's just too bad they don't use StringLock.

This seems like a great cover. These are going to be a durable option for your truck. And given that they come with a center console cover and seatback pockets, the price is fair for what you get.

TigerTough

TigerTough seat covers are designed for hardworking men and women. They’re extremely tough (hence the name), so tough, in fact, we’ve extended our seat cover line to heavy equipment because we’re that confident they can withstand what you throw at them.

We put our seat covers through torture tests. Do we do these tests for fun? Yes. Do we love proving how resilient these covers are with each test? Also yes. 

Need more proof that we believe in our products? We have an unconditional warranty for at least two years on our products. They’ll get gross, they’ll get stained, but they won’t fail you, and neither will we.

Price: $297

Pros

✅ Unconditional warranty

✅ Custom fit

✅ Two-week turnaround

✅ Waterproof

✅ Airbag safe

Cons

❌ Limited colors

Verdict 

These are some of the lowest-priced seat covers in this lineup, with an average 4.9 star rating from users. Everyone from parents to first responders uses TigerTough seat covers, and they’ve always risen to the occasion. 

Of course we love our own seat covers (or we wouldn’t work here). But that doesn’t mean they’re best for you and your work truck. Look at all the options and choose the covers that fit you best. 

Summary

Not all seat covers are created equally. Some will be better for you than others. We think you should have ones that:

• Are waterproof
• Easy to clean
• Have a great warranty and return policy
• Made in America

You don’t want to be stuck with seat covers that aren’t getting the job done. You want something that will last for years and ultimately save you money in the long run.

Look at the features of all these work truck seat covers and decide which one is best for you based on your needs and budget.

Update on 07/06/2023: We Initially had WeatherTech Seat Protectors as part of this list but removed them when we found out they weren't considered airbag-compatible in all vehicles. Take a look at WeatherTech Seat Protector Review for more information.

Truck drivers know it better than anyone: the cab of a semi isn't just a place to sit. It's a workplace, a dining room, and sometimes even a makeshift bedroom. Whether you're hauling across state lines or doing the daily grind on local routes, the inside of that cab sees its fair share of abuse. Coffee spills, dirt, and wear from countless hours on the road take a toll. That's why a seat cover isn't just an accessory; it's a shield, standing between your seat and the rigors of trucking life.

The right seat cover is about more than just looking good. It's about durability, standing up to every trucker's challenges, day in and day out. This isn't about finding the fanciest design. It's about unearthing the toughest, most resilient seat covers for semi-trucks—because every driver deserves gear that works as hard as they do.

V-Truck Corp

In 2015, V-Truck Corp sprouted from one family's burning passion for those iconic American semi-trucks. It all started with a simple yet brilliant idea: dash shelves tailored for a semi-truck's dashboard to overhaul the driver's workspace. But they didn't stop there. Recognizing a hole in the market for robust seat covers and floor mats, they charged ahead, filling that gap and clinching their spot as a leading supplier across the states.

Word has it they're not hitting the brakes anytime soon. With the buzz from their dedicated customers, they're geared up to roll out more top-notch products crafted from the finest materials. Why? Because V-Truck Corp believes truck drivers deserve nothing short of the best and are hell-bent on delivering just that.

They’ve got four styles of seat covers in faux leather and cloth and outfit Kenworth, International ProStar, Peterbilt, and Volvo. 

Takeaways from V-Truck:

• Two-piece cover
• Looks durable
• Armrest covers are an additional $99

Price: $199

Note: We contacted V-Truck about their materials, warranty, where they're made, etc., but we never heard back. If we do hear back, we'll update this accordingly.

Ultra Seat Premium Seat Covers

We’re no strangers to Ultra Seat. We looked at them while reviewing the best seat covers for heavy equipment.

Regarding industrial seating, Ultra Seat Corporation has carved out its niche. With over 20 years in the game, they've consistently focused on developing and producing specialized seating options for the industrial sector.

Always exploring new products and technologies, Ultra aims to up its game in serving customers, emphasizing seat quality and reliability.

It's worth noting that they've got a footprint in North America with their distribution centers and have been making moves to expand their distributor network worldwide.

They only have one style of seat cover for semi-trucks, which won’t be a perfect fit. But we do love that they offer a CORDURA® cover. However, we don’t know their denier (the stronger, the better). Since CORDURA® doesn’t have much give, it won’t stretch around a seat it’s not made for.

Takeaways from Ultra Seat:

• Two-piece cover
• Made from CORDURA®
• Washable
• Made in Canada
• One-year warranty

Price: $124

Redline

During our research, we saw Redline featured on sites like Raney’s, but couldn’t find a manufacturer’s website, so our information is limited. We reached out to Raney’s, and they said they didn’t have access to a manufacturer’s website for Redline either.

We can tell you that they make covers for Mack, Peterbilt, International ProStar, Kenworth, Volvo, and Freightliner. 

The seat covers get decent reviews. 

“Really impressed with this seat cover for my KW T680. It comes in two pieces, that fit really well. Has Velcro around the armrest holes, so you don’t have to remove them to install.”

Nicholas H.

Takeaways from Redline:

• Two-piece cover
• Made from polyester
• Armrest covers are an additional $20
• 6-month warranty

Price: $110

Steering Creations Inc.

Steering Creations, Inc. (SCI) has staked their claim in the trucking industry with a simple yet essential focus: steering wheels that both feel right and look sharp. Their core mission? Making the daily grind a touch smoother for truck drivers everywhere.

But, they’ve also dabbled into the world of seat covers, trying to ensure a comfy ride. But covers aren’t their bread and butter.

They have a universal seat cover with faux leather and microfiber in five colors. We couldn’t find whether these were waterproof (the faux leather likely is, but we’re unsure about the microfiber center panel). These likely are not machine washable.

Takeaways from Steering Creations:

• Two-piece cover
• Made from faux leather and microfiber
• Limited one-year warranty

Price: $121

East Coast Covers

Here’s another one we found on Raney’s, but couldn’t locate a manufacturer's site, so our info is limited.

They offer Freightliner, International ProStar, Kenworth, Peterbilt, and Volvo seat covers. Each style comes in four color options and two finishes: corduroy and faux leather with corduroy. Like all the other pens reviewed, armrest covers aren’t included. 

Thankfully, there were a few reviews. The general consensus in the reviews is that the cover is good, but the seat portion on a Peterbilt doesn’t stay on.

“Bottom seat cover does not stay attached there was no securement straps like instructions said. Other than that it’s ok.”

Mark L.

However, Igor loves them for the International ProStar.

“Great quality, my drivers loved the product!”

Igor

Takeaways from East Coast Covers:

• Two-piece cover
• Made from faux leather and corduroy
• Armrests sold separately

Price: $119

TigerTough Seat Covers

We make seat covers for the blue-collar world. We know the abuse the cab of a semi-truck can take–whether you’re a long-hauler or you sleep in the same bed every night. 

We design and build our seat covers in America, for America. Each cover is made right here on U.S. soil, and we offer an unlimited two-year warranty on our covers. 

Each one is made of 1000-Denier CORDURA® and will withstand whatever you throw at it–that’s why we do our super professional torture tests. To show you that these are the toughest covers on the market.

“The Kenworth high back seat cover was very easy to put on looks great and heavy duty. I’m very happy with them. I have other trucks I hope I can get covers for.”

Frankie

Betsy loves them for her Peterbilt:

"They have only been on the seat a couple of months. The quality appears to be excellent. This is a truck that the driver is in and out of several times a day. I am hoping this cover is our answer to all the covers we have thrown out on other vehicles."

Betsy

Takeaways from TigerTough:

• Two-piece cover
• Made from 1000-Denier CORDURA®
• Armrests included
• Made in America
• Unlimited two-year warranty

Price: $217

The Best Seat Cover

When it comes down to it, the best seat cover is the one that meets your budget and needs. If you’re looking for something around $100, go with Redline. That will give you a semi-custom fit and a limited six-month warranty. As much as we love CORDURA®, that universal fit from Ultra Seat won’t treat you well.

If your budget is around $200, opt for TigerTough. Our covers are made in the U.S. and offer an unlimited two-year warranty. Each cover is custom-made for your seat, so you’ll get a great fit that won’t shift every time you climb in and out of the cab. Since we include the armrest covers, this ends up being a cheaper option than V-Truck, which charges an extra $99 for armrest covers.

Ultimately, the choice is yours. We hope this helps you decide on a semi-truck seat cover that will help you keep your seats in top-notch condition.

We do a lot of wild things to our seat covers and call them "torture tests." While it’s all about showing just how tough TigerTough seat covers are, we have to admit—it’s also pretty fun to try to destroy something nearly indestructible.

But real-life disasters are anything but fun. When tragedy strikes and leaves you with a totaled vehicle, no test can compare to that kind of loss.

Josh reached out to us to see how unconditional our unconditional warranty was after his truck caught fire and was deemed a total loss. Inside that truck? A set of TigerTough seat covers that didn’t make it through the flames.

Lucky for Josh, it doesn’t matter how your covers get destroyed—our warranty’s got your back.

In his own words:

To whom it may concern, I bought TigerTough seat covers for my 2021 Chevy 2500hd. They looked absolutely amazing. My dog Loki likes to go every[where] with me, and I wanted to protect my seats. TigerTough seat covers were the only way to go. My dog loves the water and to roll in the dirt. With that being said, the covers kept my seats dry and the sand easy to clean up.  

Unfortunately, my truck started on fire, and my truck was a total loss. I called up TigerTough to ask about how good [their] 2 year unconditional warranty was, and to my surprise, it is everything they say it is. The wonderful staff is replacing them, and since I bought the same style of truck, my dog and I will be rolling again in style, and my seats will stay dry and sand-free.

Basically, I am saying TigerTough is the only seat cover I will ever buy, and they will have a customer for life. I will tell anyone and everyone that the seat covers may not be fireproof but they are dog-proof. Like I said before, I can't enough how amazing TigerTough is as a company, and [their] product is worth every penny.

Sincerely,
Josh Hare 

We’re thrilled that Josh and Loki are safe, and we hope they enjoy plenty more muddy, messy adventures in their new ride. As for the seat covers—no matter how they’re wrecked, we’ve got your back every time.

Construction truck (and heavy equipment) cabs see it all: dust, dirt, coffee, sandwich guts. No shortage of debris will find its way onto the seat. So, protecting those seats with a seat cover is smart. But which cover should you go with?

You’ll want something tough, waterproof, antimicrobial if there’s more than one butt in the driver’s seat, and doesn’t bunch up like a sock in a work boot. We could say you should choose TigerTough, but that’s not the only option out there.

We’ll share some of our favorite seat covers, and you can choose which is best for you.

Best Work Truck Seat Covers

We’ve spent many manhours testing out seat covers, trying them. Some have been competitive, others have been disappointing. We won’t waste your time with the seat covers we weren’t impressed with. But no matter what, try to look for these qualities in a truck seat cover:

• Washable
• Waterproof
• Airbag safe
• Separate seatback and bottom
• Good warranty
• Made in the U.S.

We’ll share prices with you based on a 2023 Ford F-150. With all that info in mind, let’s get into these seat covers for construction workers.

Marathon

On paper, Marathon is one of our biggest competitors. Their covers are made from 1000-denier CORDURA®️ in good ole Montana. 

Disclaimer: Marathon recently got acquired by CoverCraft and a few things have changed since then. We just got our hands on a new Marahon by CoverCraft seat cover, and we'll be doing a side-by-side comparison soon. For now, this is based off the original Martahon seat covers.

Pros

• Washable
• Waterproof
• Airbag safe
• Separate seatback and bottom
• Made in the U.S.
• Price is on the lower end
• They have a bunch of accessories you can add to the seat covers

Cons

• Some recent negative reviews about quality on their Google listing
• Camo is only 500-denier CORDURA®️
• Production time is 4-5 weeks
• No returns
• Limited warranty

Price: $315 (with headrests)

Carhartt PrecisionFit

OK, we don’t normally suggest these because the price is steep. But they’re a great option if you’re loyal to Carhartt.

Pros

• Washable
• Water-resistant
• Airbag safe
• Separate seatback and bottom (their SeatSavers aren’t)
• Come with seatback pockets as standard

Cons

• Not exclusively made in the U.S.
• Carhartt duck cotton isn’t as strong as CORDURA®
• Price is high

Price: $560

Wet Okole

People love Wet Okole, despite that the name means “wet butt” in Hawaiian. They fit well and look good on. Raving fans have had Wet Okole on for years. They’re made in California and loved by surfers and construction workers alike.

Pros

• Washable by hand with wetsuit shampoo
• Waterproof (but check out how they absorb liquids)
• Airbag safe
• Separate seatback and bottom (their SeatSavers aren’t)
• Made in the U.S.

Cons

• They’ll protect your seat from liquid, but the cover is designed to hold the liquid, so you’ll literally have a wet butt with spills. Think of it like a diaper--it's going protect your seat from spills, but it's also going to get a little squishy with any wetness.

Price: $374

TigerTough

Our covers are made in Minnesota from American-made materials by American men and women. We design exclusively for the blue-collar world, so you won’t see us offering covers for minivans or coupes anytime soon. Our covers made from 1000-denier CORDURA®️ are put through torture tests so we can confidently say they’re nearly indestructible.

Pros

• Washable
• Waterproof
• Airbag safe
• Separate seat back and bottom
• Unconditional two-year warranty
• Made in the U.S.
• Ships in two weeks or less

Cons

• Limited colors

Price: $297

Best Heavy Equipment Seat Covers

The competition is slim when it comes to heavy equipment seat covers, but there are a few out there. You’re going to want to look for similar things in heavy equipment seat covers:

• Washable
• Waterproof
• Separate seatback and bottom (if applicable)
• Good warranty
• Made in the U.S.

Ultra Seat

This is an aftermarket seat company that makes covers for its seats. It offers only three different kinds of covers: high back, medium back, and low back.

Pros

• Washable
• Separate seatback and bottom
• They fit their seats like a dream, and should also fit Grammer seats well
• The quality seems great
• Made in Canda
• Inexpesive

Cons

• They won’t fit OEM seats well

Price: $168 (high back seat)

TigerTough

Our heavy equipment seat covers are super similar to our vehicle seat covers, except we offer an unlimited, unconditional warranty on them. 

Pros

• Washable
• Separate seatback and bottom
• They fit your heavy equipment seat extremely well
• Made in America
• Unconditional, unlimited warranty

Cons

• More expensive than the competition

Price: $247 (Cat 312 excavator seat)

Best Seat Covers for Construction

Every cover has its pros and cons. Determine which is best for you and your budget. And if you find a better option, let us know, we’d love to add it to the list!

We've seen people reviewing our seat covers (which are made for humans) and talking about how they love them for their dogs. 

Whether you've got hunting dogs, service dogs, household pets, volunteer with a rescue, or work with a K9 unit, you will need a cover that protects from wetness, stains, scratching, and chewing.

Since we make our covers for humans, it's only fair that we look at seat covers that humans can use, so we won't review pet hammocks. And because we only make seat covers for trucks, SUVs, and vans, we'll look at those covers.

We're going to divide these into two types:

1. Seat protectors: Not a custom fit, have a boxier shape and will obviously be a cover in your truck
2. Seat covers: Custom fit and will blend in with your truck's interior

Here are some of the top-searched brands for backseat and how they hold up to dogs:

Best Seat Protectors for Dogs

Seat protectors all have a very similar shape: a boxy apron that fits hundreds of different bench seats with a skirt that runs around the edge, so it will feel (and look) like a universal cover. But these top contenders all have strengths in different areas.

WeatherTech Seat Protector

We've reviewed WeatherTech before, and here's the bottom line: We love WeatherTech, but would stick to their floor liners and not their seat protectors.

But when it comes to dogs in the backseat, the WeatherTech Seat Protectors will do just fine. 

We like that these are made in America, easy to install, and machine washable. We don't love that you won't be able to access the center seatbelt or use the features of a split seat.

Takeaways from the WeatherTech Seat Protector:

• No center seatbelt access
• Can't use the split seat
• Water resistant, not waterproof
• Made in America
• Quick to install
• Washable

Some people love this seat protector; some people don't. Overall, half of their customers wouldn't recommend it. 

“The straps around the headrest did not provide a very tight fit, and my two labs consistently moved the seat cover off the seat while jumping in and out of the truck during our trip. It is well made but moves around too much.”

-Ken, WeatherTech customer

Wet mess protection: 3/5
Chew and scratch resistance: 3/5
Price: $190

Orvis Grip-Tight® Backseat Protector

Orvis is known for quality gear that can brave the elements, so the Orvis Backseat Protector should be no exception.

This has a very similar fit to WeatherTech's version, but this is a new item from Orvis, so we'll need to wait for reviews to come in to see if it's a better investment. 

Orvis stands behind their products with the Great Catch Guarantee. If you aren't happy with your item, you can return it for a small restocking fee online or for free at a local store.

Takeaways from the Orvis Backseat Protector:

• Can't use the split seat
• Water resistant, not waterproof
• Made in China
• Microfiber
• Quick to install
• Washable 

Wet mess protection: 3/5
Chew and scratch resistance: 3/5
Price: $180

Canvasback Bench Seat Cover

We've also reviewed Canvasback before. They're known for their cargo liners but make seat protectors too. They were founded in the 1990s by a dog owner wanting to make interior vehicle protection durable enough for dogs.

Their rear bench covers are like the ones we mentioned above, with a few notable differences: they're waterproof, have more color options, and can fit smaller SUVs.

Takeaways from the Canvasback Bench Seat Cover:

• No center seatbelt access
• Can't use the split seat
• Waterproof
• Made in America
• Woman-owned company
• Quick to install
• Machine washable

“I was delighted to find a car seat cover made in the USA and happy to support a woman-owned business! … The price is on par with what I've paid for other seat covers (namely Orvis). The quality appears to be good; I appreciate that the pieces velcro together for easy cleaning. Like most seat covers, it doesn't fit perfectly, but with so many car makes and models out there, I imagine it's hard to find a perfect fit.”

- Sophie, Canvasback customer

Wet mess protection: 4/5
Chew and scratch resistance: 4/5
Price: $160

Kurgo Wander Bench Seat Cover Extended Width

We hadn't heard of Kurgo before we started researching, but their site was really nice to use. We actually liked their No Slip Grip Bench Seat Cover better than this one, but the No Slip option was only 55" wide, not wide enough to work in most large SUVs and pickup trucks. So, we'll be reviewing the Kurgo Wander Bench Seat Cover Extended Width.

The cool thing about this cover is that it has additional pockets to store a leash, poop bags, etc. Kurgo also has a piped edge ( a slight raised edge around the seat) to help prevent liquidy messes from spilling into the floor. According to their customer service, their products are made in Vietnam, China, and Taiwan. 

Takeaways from the Kurgo Wander Bench Seat Cover:

• No center seatbelt access
• Can't use the split seat
• Waterproof
• Made in Vietnam, China, or Taiwan
• Quick to install
• Not machine washable

“After having this seat cover in my SUV for several years, we bought the extended size for our 2020 F-150 back bench seat - it fits perfect. These products are awesome and wear like iron.”

-Linda, Kurgo customer

Wet mess protection: 5/5
Chew and scratch resistance: 4/5
Price: $59

Meadowlark Dog Seat Cover Bench

Meadowlark really isn't any different than the other seat protectors here. But it is the most affordable. It has the same basic shape and won't let you use the 40/60 or 60/40 split seat features.

Takeaways from the Meadowlark 

• No center seatbelt access
• Can't use the split seat
• Waterproof
• Made in China
• Inexpensive
• Quick to install
• Washable

“Been looking around for a decent cover for my dog. He tends to drool after a fun day at the park. This did the trick, and it fit the rear bench perfectly.”

- dcf111, Meadowlark customer

Wet mess protection: 5/5
Chew and scratch resistance: 4/5
Price: $50

4Knines Multi-Function Crew Cab Truck Seat Cover with Hammock

We added the 4Knines cover to this lineup because it had some unique options not available in the other brands mentioned. 

Now, we said we weren't going to review hammocks, and we stand by that, but this protector has a foldaway hammock that you can tuck away, making this one an option for people to use. It also has a split design, so you can flip seats up or down as needed without removing the cover. We love that. 

4Knines does warn that their cover isn't chew-proof. So keep that in mind if you've got a chewer.

Takeaways from the 4Knines Multi-Function Crew Cab Truck Seat Covers

• Access to all seat belts
• Split-seat design
• Waterproof
• Made in China
• Optional hammock
• Quick to install
• Machine washable
• Not chew-proof

“This is our second 4knines cover (the other goes to our smaller vehicle), and just as I suspected, this cover is the best one I've seen for a truck! Easy to install and fits just right! I love that it's easy to split if I have something big I need to put inside the cab or if I've got the kiddos with me. No need to worry about dog hair or drool all over everything, which is a big plus in my book (it's a legit worry when you've got a giant breed!). If it does get dirty, it's easy to take off and throw in the wash.”

- Caitlin, 4Knines Customer

Wet mess protection: 4/5
Chew and scratch resistance: 3/5
Price: $150

Our favorite seat protector for dogs:

It's tough to say. Your preferences will be different than ours. But if you want an American-made seat cover, go with Canvasback. They're a little cheaper than WeatherTech, a small business, and have more color and pattern options. 

If you don't care where your seat protector is made, we like 4Knines. It's more attractive than the extended fit of the Kurgo, and you can use your split bench features. It's not the cheapest, but it's also not the most expensive.

Seat Covers for Dogs

These seat covers will be tailored to fit your truck's bench seat like a glove. It's a custom fit that will complement your vehicle's interior. These don't just have one or two sizes. They have dozens (if not hundreds) of sizes because they're made for your specific truck.

Covercraft Carhartt SeatSavers

We're no strangers to Covercraft's Carhartt seat covers. These are a fan favorite in the seat cover world. We love that these give you a custom fit and remind you of your favorite Carhartt jacket. 

These covers, like TigerTough, are meant to withstand the conditions of hardworking men and women. Grease, dust, snow, mud, it can handle it all. Think about what a pair of Carhartt coveralls goes through, the seat covers can put up with the same.

They have two kinds of Carhartt covers. Both covers offer a custom fit, a three-year limited warranty, and two Carhart colors. Let's go over the differences.

Carhartt Seat Savers

This is the more affordable of the two Carhartt options offered by Covercraft. The only thing that would make them better is if they were all made in America, had multiple pieces, and were waterproof (they're water resistant).

Being one piece, you need to tuck the cover into the crease where the seat back meets the seat bottom. If your dogs are rambunctious in the truck, you might find that these don't always stay in place.

Takeaways for the Covercraft Carhartt SeatSavers:

• Access to all seatbelts
• Split-seat design
• One-piece cover
• Water resistant (not waterproof)
• Made in Mexico and the United States
• Three-year warranty
• Machine washable

“They look good, they fit great, and the dogs and wife love them. We do a lot of hunting and fishing, and they clean up great, and dog hair does not stick to them.”

- Keith, Covercraft customer

Wet mess protection: 4/5
Chew and scratch resistance: 5/5
Price: $435

Covercraft Carhartt PrecisionFit Seat Covers

These are the premium Carhartt seat covers from Covercraft. They're most similar to what we have at TigerTough because they are multiple pieces, so you'll get the best, most secure fit on your seats.

These offer a better fit than the SeatSavers, and they're made exclusively in the United States.

Takeaways from the CoverCraft Carhartt Precision Fit Seat Covers:

• Access to all seatbelts
• Split-seat design
• Multi-piece cover
• Water resistant (not waterproof)
• Made in the United States
• Limited three-year warranty
• Machine washable
• Most expensive option

“Outstanding product and protection of seats. I have [them] only on [the] rear seat for my dogs. Great product, but installation was a real challenge. Directions and tips on installation can be improved.”

- Harold, Covercraft customer

Wet mess protection: 4/5
Chew and scratch resistance: 5/5
Price: $498

TigerTough Seat Covers

Like Carhartt, our covers are made for hardworking men and women. Unlike Carhartt, all our seat covers are made in the United States from nearly indestructible CORDURA, are waterproof, and come in multiple pieces for a super custom fit.

With our unconditional warranty, your dog can do its worst to our seat covers, and we'll repair or replace them for free. 

We don't make our seat covers with dogs in mind, but our customers love how the covers hold up to dogs.

Takeaways from TigerTough Seat Covers:

• Access to all seatbelts
• Split-seat design
• Multi-piece cover
• Waterproof
• Made in the United States
• Unconditional two-year warranty
• Machine washable

"They're great. No movement, no wear, and my 85lb Labrador crawls all over them daily. Great fit and price."

- Jeff, TigerTough customer

Wet mess protection: 5/5
Chew and scratch resistance: 5/5
Price: $325

Our favorite seat cover for dogs:

Based on the specs alone, we like the TigerTough covers best. OK, yes, we work for TigerTough so that feels biased. But they're the cheapest option, have an unconditional warranty (important when you have dogs), and are made on American soil. We like Carhartt and love the look of the covers and suggest them if there's ever a vehicle we don't make a seat cover for.

But there are many great seat covers for you and your pup. We like to say to look for these things you're considering seat covers:

• Waterproof
• Easy to clean
• Come in multiple pieces for a great fit
• Have a great warranty and return policy
• Made in America

Depending on your activity level, size and number of dogs, and your budget, there's a seat cover out there that will meet your needs. And when it doubt, any protection is better than none, so go with what you can afford.

Seat cover overview

Tractor seat covers are just as useful as work truck seat covers and heavy equipment seat covers.

The tractor or commercial mower seat cover selections are pretty slim. So let’s take a look at the few companies that make seat covers for your tractor.

Tractor Seats

They say it right there in the name! Tractor Seats specializes in…tractor seats. Hard to beat that! Tractor Seats is owned by K & M Manufacturing Co. (but please don’t ask us what the K or M stands for).

Founded in 1958, K & M Manufacturing Co. began by creating practical toolboxes and steps for farmers. It quickly expanded to include more products such as replacement tractor seats, suspensions, and floor mats. Today, it serves major agricultural brands with over 2,500 custom-built items, operating out of a 72,000-square-foot combined production and warehouse space. 

Here’s what we can say about their tractor seat covers.

Pros

✅ Affordable
✅ In-stock inventory

Cons

❌ The seat covers only fit K & M seats
❌ Some are just a glorified bag that slides over the seat

Price: $50-$200

Ultra Seat

We looked at Ultra Seat when we reviewed heavy equipment seat covers, and we’re pretty familiar with them. Like Tractor Seats, they make aftermarket seats for heavy equipment, tractors, and semi-trucks. They also sell seat parts, such as foam and lumbar kits.

When a company makes seats, they will make a good seat cover…for that seat. The same goes for Ultra Seat. If you have one of their seats or a Grammer seat, one of the three Ultra Seat seat cover options will work well for you. But if you’re still rocking an OEM seat that isn’t made by Grammer, chances are you won’t find a great fit.

Pros

✅ Affordable
✅ CORDURA ® options

Cons

❌ Only three seat cover sizes
❌ Won’t fit OEM well

Price: $79-176

DuraFit

DuraFit actually makes some of Tractor Seat’s seat covers and we found them when we were looking for seat covers for lawn mowers. They have covers for Kubota, John Deere, Yanmar, New Holland, and universal covers.

Based in Arlington, TX, Durafit Seat Covers is a family-run shop that's been cranking out custom seat covers for over 30 years. They use a combo of CAD techniques and hand-sewn stitching to make their covers tough enough to take whatever you throw at them. 

Pros

✅ Cheapest of the covers
✅ Different material options
✅ Fit a variety of OEM seats

Cons

❌ If we’re being picky, their covers are only made from 600-denier fabric
❌ Warranty info is unknown, but at $40, you’re not losing much
❌ Not all covers are made in the U.S.

Price: $40

Jay’s Equipment Seat Covers

Jay’s is another company we’re familiar with. However, they don’t say much about themselves, so it’s a little difficult to give any background info. 

They make three sizes of seat covers for tractors in two material types–vinyl and canvas. Please don’t get the vinyl unless you’ve really got a thing for swamp@ss. 

We don’t have too much to say about Jay’s except that they’re a decent cover for universal fit and we love that they’re made in the U.S.

Pros

✅ Affordable
✅ Made in the U.S.

Cons

❌ Limited styles and sizes

Price: $70-$75

TigerTough

We're honored to have made this list (even though we technically made this list). Think we're joking? We're not. Tractor seat covers have been months in the making so we're thrilled to finally have some skin in the game.

We think our covers are the best, but we're not foolish enough to think that they're the best for everyone. So you be the judge.

Pros

✅ Waterproof
✅ Made from CORDURA®
✅ Unconditional lifetime warranty
✅ Made in the U.S.

Cons

❌ Most expensive option in the lineup

Price: $247

The Pickin’s are Slim

Unfortunately, there aren’t many seat covers available for tractors. But over time, seat covers will save you money so they’re worth investing in. 

If you’re going to purchase tractor seat covers, we suggest avoiding any universal-fit covers. Yes, they cover and protect, but they also fit like a bad suit and you’ll be cursing them after a few weeks.  

And if you want to hold off on seat covers for your tractor until TigerTough releases some in June 2024, we’re okay with that too. Either way, we hope you find a cover you love.
