I was most fortunate to finds a Sheep Skin Seat Cover Dealer that could match the sheep skin color to my fur.

Recently my Porsche Dealer changed my 992 exterior from Adventurine Green to Dark Brown Fur. I use regular shampoo and comb it daily.

What's wrong with the 14 ways specifically?
I don't really have experience with other seats but for me the 14 ways took some time for me to find my preferred seat settings, nothing wrong with them imho

Sheepskin covers not my thing, but I can appreciate that for many owners none of the 911 seat offerings are especially comfortable. In my case, the first 20,000 km on my 18-ways I found the seats very comfortable. After adding 15 COVID-19 pounds, I was finding them a bit too narrow in the lower seatback. Popped into the dealer to try all the seats in all the vehicles they had on the sales floor, and came away re-convinced that the 18-ways are the most comfortable of anything on offer and just need to lose those extra pounds. One thing that became very clear though is for me is that the 992 18-ways are not an improvement over the 991.2 version.

Anyway, good on you Malibu 515 for finding a solution that works for you. The reality is that if seats are uncomfortable, driving the car isn't a pleasant experience.

I could almost see the sheepskin in winter, but the sheepskin center console is too much.

Does Ted ride in your lap?

Can't believe you guys aren't wearing masks.

For some reason those seats remind me of Drama, Turtle and the Furry incident in Entourage.

OP - Glad they worked out for you. Years ago I aktchually had a set of light gray Rocky Mountain Sheepskin covers on my silver '99 MBZ here in FL for the entire four years I owned the car. They were very comfortable and felt great in the summer heat. I've been mulling over seat cover options again these days with my black interior 991.2. Maybe I'll look at that company.

Responses are awesome though. Great thread.
