Covercraft Carhartt seat covers with heated seats

[2023MavShopper]

So I ordered the Covercraft Carhartt front seat covers from the Ford Accessories website for my XLT Lux. (I believe they’re the Seat Savers and not the Precision Fit style). Prior to ordering, I noted that Covercraft says these covers can be used with heated seats. However after they arrived, a tag on the product and the Mav owners manual, which I then found, say otherwise (risk of personal injury).

Although not specific to this product or vehicle, my initial online queries yielded a mixed bag of opinions regarding if seat covers will affect safety or perhaps just the effectiveness of heated seats. (For what it’s worth, duck-weave fabric is apparently fire-resistant).

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

Did you end up using these?

seems to me that would be doubling the amount of fabric the heat has to go thru, lowering the effectiveness to the occupant in the seat. Not sure if the Mav has airbags in the side of seats like many vehicles to, if it does I assume these are compatible, but again its doubling the amount of fabric to go thru.

Yes. As OleFordGuy suggested, the Carhartt covers just mute the heat a little bit. I don’t mind it because, in my opinion, the high setting without the covers was unbearably hot.

I would def have emailed Carhartt with that contradictory screenshot you included and see what that’s all about.
