Abstract

Seat covers for a seat with a headrest are disclosed. The design includes a seat cover for a seat having a headrest, including a backrest cover sized to at least partially cover a backrest of the seat, an opening disposed on the backrest cover sized to allow the headrest to pass therethrough, and a flap sized to cover the opening and that is transitionable between a closed position and an open position. The opening is sized similar to the flap and the backrest cover has a securable slit provided therein. The flap in the open position and the slit in an unsecured orientation enables the seat cover to fit over the headrest, and the flap can be closed under the headrest and the securable slit secured to form a closed orientation.
