Thanks for stopping by to check out our airplane seat covers/seet cuvers review!
Today’s review will be different than my usual bag or luggage review. Instead, I am going to review airplane seat covers that isn’t nearly as popular before but now has become almost a necessity when traveling due to the current pandemic situation.
Many of you are probably unaware that Airplane Seat Covers exist, and has existed long before the pandemic. However, no one really thinks of using them for their travels because nobody else uses them. It’s a monkey see monkey do kind of world after all.
There’s really no special reason I decided to review this product. The thing that made me take notice of this item is because its sales volume is trending.
Unlike the earlier items that I’ve reviewed, this one isn’t at the top of Amazon’s bestseller. It’s not even in the top 100 in its keywords. But I have a feeling this item would become a bestseller once the country has fully opened.
In the section below, I will talk about the pros and cons of this item. I will answer some of your questions – mainly if this item is worth getting for your travels and other similar things.
Perhaps you are thinking that you’ve been traveling all your life without this accessory, so why now? We’ll answer that down, too. Let’s start.
Pros & Cons of Airplane Seat Covers
The pros are actually pretty obvious once you know what they’re for. They are literally just airplane seat covers. They are covers designed to protect you from the germs that have accumulated on the seat.
This pandemic has really made us conscious on the amount of dirt and germs we carry around. This item can offer a barrier between you and whatever stuff that’s hiding on the seat.
But more than this, we’re also going to talk about the cons of this item. I figured that talking about cons makes for better reviews since you will have a much more balanced and fairer look into the product. It’s only fair to give the cons. Let’s start with the pros.
Pros
Added Safety
The most obvious reason of getting a disposable airplane seat cover is to have a barrier between you and the seat.
This will give you a peace of mind, knowing that you are somehow protected from any elements that are in the surface of the seat.
If you are visiting a family, for instance, you don’t want to bring any harm to them, which is why this item is such a good buy.
Now, there’s really no replacement for wearing your mask and washing your hands frequently but any added protection would minimize the risk which is what we all desire.
Folds Into A Small Package
The material used in this is pretty thin, as I’ve already pointed out. As such, it’s easily foldable. You can probably fit it in your pocket if you try.
What’s good about this is due to its size, you can even bring another emergency pack inside your bag.
Can Fit All Kinds Of Airline Seats
This cover is made a bit larger than it needs to be. This is to account for the difference in sizes of airline seats.
If it was made smaller, it would probably tear when you dress it onto the seat. A larger than needed size is the best way to do it.
It doesn’t matter where you are seated, it can mold into the seat pretty easily.
Made From Recycled Materials
The material used for this cover is eco-friendly and is made from recycled materials.
This is actually nothing new. Many companies are moving their processes to make it more eco-friendly.
Many of the papers you’re using right now are probably recycled as well. Papers are easier to recycle which makes it more readily available to the public.
If there’s an eco-friendly option, it would be wise to opt for that, since we all want to help the environment recover in any way we can.
Cons
Thinner And Flimsier Than Expected
This product can provide a good barrier between your body and the seat. However, the material isn’t that thick. In fact, it’s actually pretty thin and flimsy.
You can almost see right through the material. If you don’t know any better, this almost looks like a parchment paper.
If you have something sharp on your pockets, you can definitely cut through this material pretty easily.
But then again, you can’t bring any sharp objects inside the airline so you may not worry about cutting it at all.
Doesn’t Cover The Handrest
Plenty of research suggests that one of the most efficient vectors for germs and virus are your hands.
Most of us are unaware of how much we touch our faces. This makes our hands one of the most effective ways to spread virus and germs.
Unfortunately, this seat cover does not provide a cover for the handrest. This is unfortunate since that’s mostly where the bad stuff comes from, as I was saying.
It would’ve been great if this product has that feature. In any case, if you want to protect your hands when traveling, you can just wash it frequency or wear sanitary gloves.
Cost A Little More Than Expected
This airplane seat cover costs a bit more than what I would’ve liked, personally.
Take note that these are disposable covers and are only rated for one use so you’re only paying for that one use. These aren’t made to be washable, too. They would disintegrate when water is applied.
It would’ve been nice if it costs a bit cheaper, but as many would say, there is no price for safety and peace of mind. In that case, this makes the pricing a bit easier to justify.

Quality Rating
This section is dedicated to the quality of this item only. I will not consider other items from Seet Cuvers. This rating will only reflect that of this seat cover. If you want to know more about the company, Seet Cuvers, I will have a separate section for that.
As I’ve told you before, the cover is actually very flimsy and easy to tear. Now, that’s probably due to the fact that it’s made that way to reduce cost. If you are familiar with the gown that nurses use, it’s almost exactly like that. This one’s maybe a bit thinner though.
All things considered, this item does what it’s supposed to do but not in the highest quality possible. It’s safe to say that this would cost a lot more if they had decided to use stronger materials.
Their choice of material is also influenced by the fact that this is disposable. Why use something more premium when you’re only going to use it one time, perhaps was their justification.
Having said that, my rating will also factor in the price. As I’ve been saying a lot in my reviews, you don’t expect premium quality from a bargain price. This item gets 3.5 stars for me.
Size Rating
This seat cover is only available in one size. It’s a one-size-fits-all item. If you’ve flown in different airlines, you know how similar their chairs are, size-wise.
This is probably because they use the same criteria in judging how much space an average human can tolerate. I know how cramped those seats can get.
The seat cover is actually bigger than it needs to be. It accounts for different seat classes which I find very convenient.
One downside is the cover won’t fit as snuggly as you’d like but you can easily adjust it by tying loose ends using a rubber band, or you can just let the excess hang loose, no problem.
Feature Rating
If we’re being honest here, this is literally just a paper cover for your seats. There’s really not a feature worth talking about.
If I would suggest something for the makers of this cover, this item would’ve been much better if they included an adjuster or something. This makes fitting it into seat much more convenient and hassle-free.
3 stars.
Brand Rating
If I am going to be frank here, the company name sounds a bit childish to me. It’s a pun – “Seet Cuvers.”
It’s a pretty silly name, to be honest, but I imagine it gets the clicks, because you know how people are. Perhaps they are counting on this quality to lure people into clicking their page, effectively increasing their conversion rate.
That being said, I was sort of expecting a bit of silliness into their product lines. However, that can’t be further from the truth. Their products, opposite of what their name would suggest, looks professional.
Their products are mostly for interior use, majority has something to do with seat covers. They have a variety of products that you can choose from, from pet car seat covers to heated car seat attachments. If you want something for your seats, they got your covered.
Now, upon checking their entire product line, their ratings vary by a lot. They have a seat cover that is rated 3 stars with 100 reviews and several items which have 4.9-star ratings with more than 4,400 reviews.
As you can see, the rating depends on the item. The best course of action would be to check the items prior to buying to ensure that you get what you’re paying for.
As such, I would rate this brand an average 3.5 stars. The quality varies depending on the product and this inconsistency is what stopping from rating it highly.

Final Verdict on Airplane Seat Covers [Seet Cuvers]
If you want an added peace of mind when travelling, this is a good accessory to bring during your travels. It fits in a small package which allows you to carry an additional pack with you at all times. You never know when you’ll sit in a public seat and it pays to carry a safety net around.
As many would say, you can never put a price in your safety. This is especially true in this time when the world is in a pandemic. Only now have the public become aware of how dirty and unsanitary public places are.
Granted, coming in contact with some random germs and virus isn’t going to be 100% deadly. But can you really take that risk especially with a novel virus around?
In my opinion, this is a good buy, even more so during this time. In case the country reopens with fewer restriction in place, it pays to have several levels of safety barriers to not only protect you, but also your family.
