Beaded seat cover - any good?

My back sweats whilst driving, just wondering whether a beaded seat cover are any good, or can anyone recommend an alternative accessory, for a Corsa 1.1

An alternative



Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Buy a car with cooled seats? Does it have aircon? Do you use it?

Yes to both, it's a 54 plate

In The Olden Days most people over 40 had them, as they are supposed to be good for back pains as well as cooler.

I'd give them a try for the price.

The 03 Corsa I had had fabric seats, and I never had any problem in Summer, you haven't got some sort of posh faux leather or something have you? That doesn't breathe and you do sweat, which is why a lot of wannabe upmarket cars are "half (faux)leather" and the bit you sit on is fabric.

Totally off topic but why did I read the title of this thread and thought that it stated "Bearded seat covers"?

Had one that came in a car not long after I passed my test back in the '80s and liked it enough that I left it in there. Then again, the alternative was to sit on red hot vinyl!

One thing to be aware of though. When the stringing starts to break you will be picking beads out of corners for years!

£6.99- worth a punt.

No, well, not is this car

I've got a beaded seat cover and no, it doesn't stop you getting a sweaty back but it does stop you sticking to the back of your seat.

I've got aircon but I'm in and out of my car all through the day, often only driving a mile or less between stops. It's not always possible to park in the shade so my car interior gets very hot. By the time that the aircon has cooled it down, I've arrived at my next stop.

The seat covers are very comfortable though, I'm on my second one now (and can verify the comment about beads everywhere when the string breaks!)
