Abstract
A conformable seatback cover adapted for ease in installation while retaining a professionally fitted appearance, and constructed of heavy, non-stretchable material. The conformable structure of the cover is developed by prestructured front and back panels which correspond generally in dimensions to the front and back surfaces of a vehicle seatback, the tight fitting appearance being accomplished by the use of stretchable side panels which join the respective front and back surfaces in a snug fit to said seatback.
