Cushions & Covers

Spilled coffee, wet dogs, and sun-baked afternoons are hard on factory upholstery and bedding, and the covers here keep both alive. What's on offer is a mix of protection and comfort: a waterproof mattress protector, a universal bucket seat cover, plush fleece and 12-volt heated blankets, and a vinyl and leather repair kit for when a seam finally gives. None of it is fancy, all of it earns its space.

Protecting and refreshing RV upholstery

RV cushions and bedding take abuse that home furniture never sees, so the goal here is usually damage control: keep moisture out, keep the sun off, and patch small tears before they spread. A few things worth knowing before you buy:

  • Waterproof mattress protectors. A protector like the Thomas Payne waterproof one blocks sweat, spills, and condensation from soaking into the mattress, which is the number-one killer of RV beds. Match it to your bed size, and if you're replacing the mattress underneath, the RV mattresses category covers the odd RV sizes.
  • Seat covers. A universal cover like the Covercraft SeatGlove slips over a single bucket seat to hide wear and take the daily grime, then pulls off for washing. Check whether your seat is a single bucket or a bench before ordering.
  • Blankets. Plush fleece throws add warmth on cool nights, and a 12-volt heated blanket runs straight off the RV's power for boondocking and travel-day naps without the furnace running. Watch cord length so it reaches the outlet.
  • Vinyl and leather repair. A repair kit like the Permatex one fills cracks and small tears in seating vinyl so you're not replacing a whole cushion over one bad spot. It pairs well with a cover to hide the patched area and keep it from reopening.

If the upholstery on your seating and recliners is going gray from sun, a good vinyl protectant slows the fade and keeps the surface from drying out and cracking in the first place.
