Frequently Asked Questions
General Information
In our shop, you can easily order all the products you need for your vehicle online. Simply select your vehicle make and exact model to discover all the compatible products. You can design your seat covers to your liking using our configurator and then add them to your cart.
After you place your order for seat covers, we’ll ask you to complete a fit check so we can be 100% sure that you’re getting exactly the right seat covers from us. As soon as we receive your fit check, we’ll inspect the seats and begin production.
This step does not apply to any other products. If you have ordered products with different delivery times, the longest delivery time listed will apply.
We currently don’t have a store or showroom where you can view our products. To get a better idea of what we offer, we recommend checking out our many videos on YouTube and our other social media channels. You can order free fabric samples at any time to feel the fabric for yourself.
The delivery time for all seat covers is currently approximately 8 weeks. This is because we always strive to offer you premium quality and perfect custom-made products. Thank you for your understanding. As the saying goes, anticipation is half the fun. Delivery times for other additional products are listed on each product page and may vary.
Unfortunately, any products we make especially for you on a made-to-order basis (e.g., seat covers and fabric by the yard) cannot be returned. An order can only be canceled within the legal framework if the fit check has not yet been performed and production has therefore not yet begun. You can think of it like a tailor-made service. That is why we are unable to accept returns for a product that has already been ordered and produced, into which we have invested a great deal of time, effort, and a lot of love. For this reason, we also operate on a prepaid basis. However, should there be any defects in your custom-made product that are attributable to our fault, we will of course take full responsibility for them. This means we will repair your product immediately and, in extreme cases, even replace it. For more information, please see our Terms and Conditions.
If your vehicle model isn't listed on our website yet, that doesn't necessarily mean we don't have products for you in our lineup. We're constantly developing new patterns for different vehicles, and yours might be in the works right now. Feel free to send us the details about your vehicle via our Vehicle Inquiry and our customer service team will review your request.
Unfortunately, creating custom designs is generally not possible. Our processes are optimized for our existing designs, so a custom order would involve a significant amount of work and ultimately wouldn’t be worth it for you. If you’re still seriously interested or would like to equip multiple vehicles (e.g., for your company) with seat covers in your own design or with a logo print, please contact us via the Contact Form.
We are constantly expanding our product range and strive to add fresh, new designs for you every year, though this happens rather infrequently. As a result, some of our designs may no longer be available in our shop. However, we still have all designs on file in our system and can access them for potential reorders. Please feel free to inquire about this.
If you'd like to equip your company fleet with seat covers from DriveDressy, please feel free to contact us via Contact Form to our customer service.
Depending on the size of your order and the destination country, we will ship your package via either DPD or DHL.
No, unfortunately, we cannot offer in-person pickup, as our entire production facility is not located in Munich and we do not have a physical store.
Seat covers
IMPORTANT: The product preview is just one exemplary Here’s a visual guide to give you a rough idea of what the look will be like. Since there are so many different seat shapes and details—such as straps, cutouts, and so on—it’s simply impossible for us to always match the image in the configurator exactly to your vehicle. But don’t worry!
After you place your order, you’ll automatically receive a questionnaire about your vehicle. We’ll ask you for all the details about your seats, guide you through the questions with pictures, and make sure everything fits perfectly in the end. Only once that’s done will the seat covers be custom-made for you!
It's simple – Awesome Designs combined with 100% Perfect Fit!
Our seat covers are custom-made for your specific vehicle model and fit your original car seat like a second skin. In addition, all features such as ISOFIX, airbags, etc., are taken into account. Every car seat in our range has been scanned using a 3D scanner; using this data, we’ve created precise patterns, allowing us to guarantee a perfect fit. During a so-called fit check after you place your order, we’ll identify the exact pattern that’s right for you.
The MaterialThe fabric we use is particularly breathable, durable, and, best of all, machine-washable.
As you can see—premium quality all around!
As a general rule, it all comes down to personal preference. That said, we can offer a few tips based on our experience.
For example, patterns CLEARLY They are less prone to staining than solid colors, and even a plain dark blue isn’t necessarily completely stain-resistant compared to Toucan. Water marks show up most quickly on plain gray tones, while a chocolate stain on the Oriental Flamingo takes some searching to find. If you’re very concerned about stain resistance and don’t want to wash the covers quite as often, we advise against choosing covers that are too light in color.
When choosing a color, you should consider who will be riding in the car, what kinds of stains might occur, and how much wear and tear the seat covers will be subjected to.
Above all, though, you should focus on what you personally like best and what puts you in a good mood right from the start!
The magic word is FIT CHECK.
Only if you AFTER the part required for your vehicle Fit Check Once you've completed this, we can begin custom-making your seat covers and guarantee a "perfect fit."
After you place your order, the checklist will guide you through a questionnaire about your vehicle seats. For some vehicles, you’ll also need to upload a photo of a seat or bench in the questionnaire. We’ll explain exactly how to do that. By inspecting your vehicle seats, we’ll know exactly which pattern to use during production, because even two identical vehicles can have different seats installed! We’ve physically handled every seat and bench we offer and know all the specifications. This means we also know exactly what to look for.
TIP: You can also perform the fit check before the vehicle arrives. However, you’ll need some information—and ideally, photos from your manufacturer or dealer—to complete the check. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
Unfortunately, not all seats are the same, even if the make, model, and year are identical. Often, seats differ only in small details, but these details can affect the fit of your seat covers. A good example is the VW T5 driver’s seat—we have more than 30 different patterns for this model in our system. If you want to be on the safe side, feel free to send us an email with your order number and a few pictures of the seats in your new vehicle, and we’ll check for compatibility.
If you can't find your seats, back seat, or seat combination in our store, we recommend that you first contact our customer service via email (info@drivedressy.com) Please contact us. Send us a description of your issue, along with your vehicle’s model and make, and a few photos of your seats. We’ll then look into it for you.
If we don't actually carry your specific seats in our selection, you can still purchase our fabric by the yard and work with an upholsterer or seamstress in your area to find the best solution. Many of our customers have already told us about the great results their local upholsterers have achieved.
We use a 100% durable synthetic fiber sourced from the automotive industry. The unique fabric composition—featuring a durable surface, a 3mm-thick foam layer, and an anti-slip backing—is exceptionally breathable and comfortably soft. Our material is flame-retardant, has a lightfastness rating of 7 out of 8, and withstands 42,000 abrasion cycles. It is machine washable at 30°C. The fabric is:
- Very durable and tear-resistant, especially suitable for dogs
- machine washable
- comfortably padded
- breathable
All of our seat covers are made from this same material, which is ideal for seat covers, There is no choice between different materials.
If you’re a dog or pet owner, you’ve come to the right place. Our seat covers are perfectly suited to withstand hair, paw prints, dirt, and claws; they’re tear-resistant and extremely durable. Plus, if they get really dirty, you can simply toss them in the washing machine, and you can also give them a quick wipe-down with a damp cloth from time to time.
Absolutely! Our seat covers are machine washable at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Be sure to follow the care instructions on the product page and included in the package.
Our seat covers aren't waterproof, but they are slightly water-repellent. In a quick test, we found that it takes a good 30 seconds for the fabric to absorb moisture if you happen to spill coffee or beer.
Not just one, but several. Choose from our store Just pick your favorite designs and have them shipped to your home.
Our seat covers are delivered right to your door, where you can—and will need to—put them on yourself. But don’t worry—we won’t leave you to figure it out on your own! On our YouTube channel you'll find the right installation videos for your seats. There, we'll share all the tips and tricks that make putting on the seat covers a breeze. In most cases, it's easy to install them using Velcro and zippers.
You can find all our installation videos on DriveDressy YouTube Channel.
Our seat covers (and some other products) are custom-made specifically according to your design preferences and tailored just for you. Furthermore, we don’t even keep fabric in stock; instead, we print the fabric especially for you. As a result, we have virtually no items in stock in our shop. To ensure that you end up with seat covers that fit like a second skin, we need a little time. We hope you understand.
The seat covers are manufactured in Munich and Slovenia.
All the key features of your seats will be retained.
For example, in seats equipped with airbags, we sew in airbag seams. Thanks to the fit check, we know exactly which seats you have.
The adjustment knobs for the armrests, ISOFIX, and seat belts are all still accessible, and the seats can be adjusted and folded down just as before.
The seat covers are compatible with seat heaters.
Fit Check
You must always perform a fit check when you order seat covers from us. The fit check is essential so that we can guarantee you the perfect fit.
IF YOU DON'T COMPLETE THE FIT CHECK, YOU'LL LOSE YOUR FIT GUARANTEE AND PRODUCTION CAN'T BEGIN.
As soon as possible. The lead time for our seat covers is approximately 8 weeks from the fit check. This means that the longer it takes you to complete the fit check, the later your order will be added to the production list, and the longer you may have to wait.
Please complete the fit check within 5 days of placing your order, if possible. Thank you.
After the fit check, our production team will review your measurements and photos and provide your order with details on the exact patterns needed for your custom seat covers.
You don't need to do anything else. If we have any questions, please let us know. WE us.
The fit check usually takes just a few minutes. Plan on spending about 5–15 minutes on this, depending on how many seats you’ve ordered covers for and how many questions you’ll need to answer.
Thank you for your help!
Well, it's a good idea to have your vehicle nearby when you're doing the fit check, so that if you have any questions about your seat, you can double-check right away to make sure you've selected the correct answer.
For some vehicles, you'll need to take photos of the seats—so you'll need to have the vehicle nearby or ask someone to send you the photos.
If your vehicle isn't nearby or you haven't received it yet, please feel free to contact us and we'll work with you to figure out what to do.
No, normally you don't need to measure anything for the fit check. We may provide you with several images to choose from (e.g., of headrests) and list their dimensions—in which case, if your specific model isn't immediately obvious, you may need to take a quick measurement to select the correct image of your seat.

Magnetic pouches
For whatever you like. These magnetic bags are perfect for storing clothes, beach gear, toys, snacks, or even shoes; they can be used as a beach bag or for a stroll through town—the possibilities are endless.
IMPORTANT: If you use the bag with magnets, we strongly advise against storing cell phones, credit cards, or other sensitive items in the bag, as they may be damaged by the magnetic field.
No, inside the bag there is a large main compartment and a compartment that opens and closes with a zipper. The bag magnet is placed inside this zippered compartment. Therefore—at least when the bag magnet is in use—only the main compartment is accessible.
The bag itself isn't magnetic, at least not at first.
When you insert the included pocket magnet into the bag, the bag becomes magnetic and will stick to any metal surface—such as the vehicle itself or a metal strip—without needing a counterpart.
To attach the bag to the seat cover, you'll need the counterpart magnet. Slide it into any suitable spot under the seat cover so that the bag's magnet and the counterpart magnet can attract each other. This allows the bag to "stick" in place, so to speak. The same method works, for example, with tent walls or thin cabinet panels.
The pocket magnet and the counterpart magnet each contain several strong individual neodymium magnets that are encased in a fabric insert.
Magnetic pockets on the seat will only work with durable seat covers.
To attach the bag to the seat cover, you'll need the counterpart magnet. Slide it into any suitable spot under the seat cover so that the bag's magnet and the counterpart magnet can attract each other. This allows the bag to "stick" in place, so to speak. The same method works, for example, with tent walls or thin cabinet panels.
No, the bags are made from the same durable material as our seat covers, but without the foam padding.
The material is slightly water-repellent, but not waterproof. This also means that you should protect the magnetic pouch from the elements, such as heavy rain, to prevent damage to the pouch and, more importantly, to the magnets inside it.
The bag is non-insulatingIt is not a cooler bag.
The magnetic pouches can be gently washed at 30°C on the wool cycle; see the care instructions above.
IMPORTANT: It is essential that all magnets be removed!
The magnets themselves won't scratch your car's paint, since they're covered in fabric and securely stored in the designated pocket.
However, when attaching it to the vehicle, make sure to keep the metal eyelets used to secure the straps and the bag’s closure facing away from the vehicle so that these parts do not scratch the paint.
The magnetic pouches are available in three sizes: S, M, and L. You can find the exact dimensions on the product page. You can also purchase additional straps or magnets, as well as the matching adhesive metal strips for attaching your pouches.
Heated mats
In the COCKPIT SET A thermal mat for the windshield is always included, as well as one magnetic mat each for the driver's side and passenger side windows. Everything you need for installation—such as the rods in the windshield mat—is also included.
IMPORTANT: We may include information in the product description above regarding which specific variant of a vehicle model the cockpit set is compatible with.
The LIVING ROOM SET includes all mats and mounting hardware for:
- Rear window
- Center side window on the driver's side, with or without a sliding window
- Center side window on the passenger side, with or without a sliding window
- Rear side window (driver's side)
- Rear passenger-side window
The thermal mats are always installed inside the vehicle, with the black side facing out directed.
The two side thermal mats in the front are held in place by magnets and simply snap into the body of the vehicle.
The windshield thermal mat stays in place thanks to a rod system and the sun visors. Built-in magnets around the rearview mirror ensure that the mat fits snugly there as well.
The thermal mats for living spaces are typically attached to small metal rods that are included in the package and can be glued into the window trim, as shown in the video. This means that no suction cup is needed on the back either. The metal rods can be removed again.
Yes, the thermal mats we offer always have black edging and a matte black exterior. The insulating function is ensured by the insulating layer inside the mat, not by a reflective silver side as you might see on comparable products.
The black look also looks more stylish and is less conspicuous.
The thermal mats can be wiped down with a slightly damp cloth, but should not be washed in the washing machine.
A cockpit set can be folded flat; see the video. The windshield mat is folded or rolled up to a maximum of two times.
The two side thermal mats can be stowed perfectly in the backrest pockets of your DriveDressy seat covers or laid flat in the pop-up roof. The windshield mat can also be laid completely flat in the roof (ATTENTION: (It depends on the roof!) or stowed in the back seat, on a mattress, or something similar.
When you buy a living room set, you'll need to make room for significantly more storage space—ideally in the trunk—for a total of 8 flat mats of various sizes.
Mosquito nets
We currently only carry mosquito nets for the driver's and passenger's sides in our product range. However, we are constantly working to expand our selection. Don't want to miss out when a new product is released or there's news? Then feel free to follow us on our social media channels or subscribe to our
Newsletter.
The secret of our mosquito nets lies in the hem, where small magnets are sewn in that easily attach to the bodywork around the window.
Good news: Yes! Since both the thermal mats and the mosquito nets are attached magnetically, there’s no problem using both products at the same time. You can easily attach the thermal mats over the mosquito nets, so there’s no need for the hassle of putting them up and taking them down.
Our mosquito nets are a relatively new addition to our store, and we’re still actively developing new models. Don’t want to miss out when new products become available? Then feel free to follow us on social media or subscribe to our newsletter.

by the yard
Fabric sold by the yard can be used in many different ways; here are a few ideas:
Unpadded fabric:
- Sheer Curtains & Drapes
- Tablecloths
- Custom pillowcases
- Laundry bags
Upholstered fabric:
- Custom covers for cushions and mattresses
- Custom-made dog blankets and pillows
- Wall paneling
- Finishing of individual furniture components
- Custom seat covers for rear seats that we don't carry in our product range, or homemade seating or sleeping areas in the camper
The fabric can be ordered by the yard. The unpadded fabric is always 150 cm wide and 1, 2, or 3 meters long. The padded fabric is always 158 cm wide and also 1, 2, or 3 meters long. If you need more than 3 running meters, e.g., 5 meters, you can order, for example, 1x 2 running meters and 1x 3 running meters.
Upholstered and non-upholstered fabrics by the yard are made of the same durable material on the surface.
While the unpadded Since the fabric is relatively thin and flexible and can be used for items such as curtains, tablecloths, or pillowcases, the upholstered The fabric is backed with a layer of foam approximately 3 mm thick and protected with a charmeuse (a type of fine mesh on the underside).
The padded fabric is much thicker and cozier than the unpadded version, making it perfect for upholstery or making covers.
When printing the fabric by the yard, we use the same pattern scale as for the seat covers. The pattern is printed exactly as shown in the product image above; that is, the pattern is neatly aligned and centered across the width of the fabric and then repeats as many times as needed along the length, depending on the quantity of fabric ordered.
The fabric is printed on one side!
ATTENTION: In the "Magic Forest" and "Misty Mountains" patterns, the design repeats every 1 meter, as it is a "picture" rather than a continuous pattern.
If you need more than 3 meters of fabric—for example, 5 meters—you can simply add 1 item of 2 running meters and 1 item of 3 running meters to your cart.
The reason we print a maximum of 3 running meters at a time is that minor printing errors can occasionally occur. In such cases, we will of course reprint the order, which means we don’t end up producing quite as much waste if an error occurs.
If you’d like to sew (or have someone sew) covers for backrests or seat cushions yourself—for example, because we don’t carry the pattern you need—we recommend choosing a simple pattern or solid colors where the pattern alignment at the seams isn’t quite as critical as it would be with a very linear design.
The more precise pattern pieces you have to cut from the fabric, the more scrap fabric there will be and the more fabric you’ll need. Hawaii Dream, Toucan, and Hibiscus, for example, are very straightforward patterns for homemade pillowcases.
The amount of fabric you'll need depends entirely on the size of the upholstery you're covering and the colors and patterns you choose.
As a general rule, you’ll need about 3–4 running meters of upholstery fabric for an average two-seater backrest if you choose a single color.
Our customer service team will be happy to advise you on the quantity you need.
Like nearly all of our custom products, this fabric is also made to order just for you.
We don't keep any fabric in stock by the yard; instead, we print the fabric specifically for you in the quality, color, and length of your choice.
Since the fabric by the yard, like our seat covers, is produced as part of our regular printing cycle, the entire process takes up to 8 weeks.
Yes, our fabric by the yard is machine washable at 30°C. Please be sure to follow the care instructions above. Care Instructions.
Yes, our fabric can be glued in place. The padded fabric is particularly well-suited for this purpose; it can be glued—using a suitable spray adhesive—to a smooth, flat surface, which is then installed in the camper as a trim panel, as shown in the photos on this page.
ATTENTION: Our fabric by the yard has virtually no stretch and is not well suited for covering surfaces "around curves," as this would result in too many wrinkles.
Of course—feel free to use our free fabric sample service (see the menu).
Yes, our fabric by the yard can be sewn using a "regular" sewing machine; you don't need an industrial sewing machine. If you're unsure, we recommend ordering a few free fabric samples and giving it a try!
Mattress covers
In our shop, you’ll find only mattress covers for the standard sizes of the original mattresses or bed extensions from the respective manufacturers. Unfortunately, custom-made covers are not available. If you’d like to incorporate your design into your bedroom decor and we don’t carry your mattress in our selection, you can purchase our fabric by the yard and have a local tailor make your own
Start a DIY project.
The mattress covers are easy to wash in the machine on a gentle cycle at 30°C, just like our seat covers. Please follow all care instructions included with the product and in the package.
Our mattress covers are made from the same durable and breathable synthetic fabric as our seat covers. The material is tear-resistant, flame-retardant, highly durable, and machine-washable.
All of our designs are also available by the yard. Just go to the "By the Yard" section in the shop and find the design you like.
Mattresses & Mattress Toppers
Since we are currently having the mattress manufactured in partnership with Optima Schlafsysteme, we only have a few vehicles in our lineup for testing at this time. Don’t want to miss out when new products become available? Then feel free to follow us on social media or subscribe to our newsletter.
Not all mattresses are created equal; the difference is usually hidden inside.
In this case, we rely on EvoPoreHRC And that is precisely what makes it so special. EvoPore is not cold foam, as found in traditional mattresses, but a polyurethane foam.
It is lighter, significantly more durable, and more sustainable. Compared to standard cold foam, EvoPoreHRC 30% fewer resources used in production.
But there’s more! The comfort—even if it can’t be measured in numbers—is significantly greater. The mattress is extremely breathable, temperature-regulating, and comfortable. Thanks to the integrated 7-zone design, stomach, back, and side sleepers alike can find the perfect sleeping position.
Lightweight! That’s the best way to describe DriveDressy’s mattresses and toppers. The 5-cm-thick toppers weigh just 7 kilograms, and the 11.5-cm-thick mattress comes in at a mere 10 kilograms. On average, our mattresses are about 30% lighter
than a traditional cold-foam mattress, and it’s also foldable.
Every vehicle has its own dimensions and cutouts—our mattresses are specifically designed for certain vehicles, as indicated in the product name.
As soon as you hold our mattress or topper in your hands, you’ll immediately notice that they have two completely different sides. One side features your chosen design, ensuring that the mattress is optimally protected from below and can withstand any surface, while the other side is made of a super-soft and comfortable cotton fabric that invites you to sleep and ensures maximum comfort. You sleep on the side accordingly WITHOUT DriveDressy Design.
