Short Wool Sheepskin Car Seat Cover UK | NZ Made

Why Choose a Short Wool Sheepskin Car Seat Cover?

Enjoy the natural comfort of genuine New Zealand sheepskin with a smoother, more streamlined feel.

Our Short Wool Sheepskin Car Seat Covers are made in New Zealand from premium New Zealand sheepskins, combining more than 30 years of manufacturing experience with natural materials and practical everyday comfort.

Each cover is made from two carefully selected New Zealand sheepskin pelts, with the wool shorn to a uniform length of approximately 22 mm (7/8 inch). The result is a dense, resilient layer of natural wool that provides excellent cushioning without the deeper pile of a long wool cover.

Designed for cars, vans and motorhomes, the universal easy-fit design sits naturally over your existing seat, providing genuine sheepskin comfort for everyday driving and longer journeys.

Dense Short Wool for Natural Comfort

The defining feature of this cover is its dense 22 mm (7/8 inch) short wool fleece.

Shorning the wool to an even length creates a smooth, supportive seating surface while retaining the natural resilience and cushioning of genuine sheepskin.

The shorter fleece also gives the cover a neater, lower-profile appearance, making it an excellent choice if you want the comfort of genuine sheepskin without the deeper, more prominent look of long wool.

Natural Comfort in Every Season

Genuine sheepskin is exceptionally well suited to vehicle seats because natural wool fibres help regulate temperature and manage moisture.

During colder weather, the wool creates a naturally insulating layer between you and your vehicle seat. When temperatures rise, its breathable fibres allow air to circulate while helping manage moisture vapour.

The dense wool also provides resilient natural cushioning beneath your body, making your seat feel softer and more comfortable during extended periods behind the wheel.

The result is a car seat cover that feels warm and cosy in winter while remaining naturally breathable in summer – ideal for Britain's changing seasons.

Short Wool or Long Wool?

Both of our car seat cover styles are made from genuine New Zealand sheepskin and share the same practical universal-fit design. The main difference is the length and feel of the wool.

Choose Short Wool if you prefer:

• A dense, supportive feel


• A smoother, more streamlined appearance


• Approximately 22 mm (7/8 inch) fleece


• Less visual bulk on your vehicle seat


• A neat finish that's easy to maintain

Choose Long Wool if you prefer:

• Deeper natural fleece


• A softer, plusher feel


• Maximum sheepskin texture


• A more luxurious, traditional sheepskin appearance

Neither is necessarily better – it simply comes down to the feel and appearance you prefer.

Universal Easy-Fit Design

Our Short Wool Sheepskin Car Seat Covers feature a universal-fit design suitable for most vehicle seats with suitable headrests up to approximately 30 cm (12 inches) wide.

The overall cover length is approximately 142 cm (56 inches), measured from the top of the headrest, down the seat back and across to the front edge of the seat base.

The headrest section features a flexible backing designed to stretch over most standard headrests. Adjustable hook-and-loop straps then help hold the cover securely in position.

The remainder of the sheepskin sits naturally over the front of your existing seat rather than completely enclosing it. This simple design also helps retain access to storage pockets on the rear of many vehicle seats.

Because this is a universal rather than vehicle-specific fitted cover, the exact appearance and coverage will vary depending on the shape and dimensions of your seat.

Fitting Your Sheepskin Car Seat Cover

Installation is straightforward and does not require completely removing your existing vehicle upholstery.

Where possible, lower the headrest and gently stretch the flexible top section of the cover over it.

Position the sheepskin naturally down the seat back and across the seat base, then feed the adjustable straps through and beneath the seat to help hold the cover securely in position.

When positioning the straps, always take care to avoid electrical wiring, sensors, seat motors, rails and other mechanisms beneath the seat.

Important – Seat-Mounted Airbags

Many modern vehicles have side airbags incorporated into the front seats.

Our universal cover is designed to sit naturally over the front of the seat rather than tightly enclosing its sides. However, vehicle seat and airbag designs vary considerably.

Before fitting any seat cover, always check your vehicle manufacturer's instructions to confirm that a seat cover can be safely used with your particular seats and airbag system.

Never position or secure the sheepskin in a way that could obstruct an airbag deployment area. If you're unsure whether the cover is suitable for your vehicle, seek advice from the vehicle manufacturer or an appropriately qualified automotive professional before installation.

Made in New Zealand

Our Short Wool Car Seat Covers are made in New Zealand from genuine New Zealand sheepskins.

Each cover requires two individual pelts to be carefully selected and matched before the wool is shorn to create its distinctive dense, uniform finish.

With more than 30 years of manufacturing experience behind the design, these covers bring together premium New Zealand sheepskin, established craftsmanship and a practical design created for everyday driving comfort.

Choose Your Colour

Our Short Wool Sheepskin Car Seat Covers are available in three classic colours designed to complement a wide range of vehicle interiors:

• Honey – a warm golden shade that brings out the natural character of genuine sheepskin and works beautifully with tan, beige and neutral interiors.


• Chocolate – a rich, deep brown that pairs particularly well with warm-toned, brown and darker vehicle interiors.


• Black – a classic, understated choice that blends easily with black, charcoal and many modern vehicle interiors.

Because genuine sheepskin is a natural material, small variations in wool texture and colour are completely normal. Dyed colours can also vary slightly between individual sheepskins and dye batches.

When ordering two covers together, we'll carefully select the sheepskins and aim to provide the closest possible matching pair in colour, wool texture and overall appearance.

Made to Order in New Zealand

Our Short Wool Sheepskin Car Seat Covers are made to order in New Zealand.

Please allow approximately 3–4 weeks for your covers to be manufactured before shipping.

If you're ordering two covers together, we'll take particular care when selecting the sheepskins to provide the closest possible complementary pair.

Caring for Your Short Wool Sheepskin Car Seat Cover

Regular Care: Occasionally remove the cover and give it a gentle shake to remove loose dust and debris. Brush the wool with a sheepskin care brush when required to help maintain the fibres and reduce matting in high-contact areas.

Spot Cleaning: Attend to spills promptly. Blot excess liquid rather than rubbing, then gently clean the affected area using cold or lukewarm water. For best results, we recommend our Woolskin Wool Wash Sheepskin Shampoo, specially formulated for cleaning genuine sheepskin.

Washing: When a deeper clean is required, your Short Wool Car Seat Cover can be hand washed or gently machine washed using Woolskin Wool Wash Sheepskin Shampoo.

Avoid ordinary laundry detergents containing enzymes, bleach or fabric softeners, as these can damage the wool fibres and leather.

Drying: Allow the cover to air dry naturally in the shade, away from direct sunlight and heat. Do not tumble dry or place directly beside a heater or radiator. Gently reshape the leather while damp and brush the wool once completely dry to help restore its natural appearance.

New Zealand Comfort for British Roads
