I've had this one for about three months and I like it very much.
Pilot Automotive anti-bacterial steering wheel cover

This is the one we have on our Maverick. Simple, comfortable, just black. Matches the XLT interior nicely.

I'm 62 years old and the one I linked to in my post above is the very first steering wheel cover I've ever tried. I bought it on a whim after repeated issues with my Subaru Forester steering wheel getting "slimy" this summer.

I love the thing and wish I had started using them a long time ago. They give the steering wheel a softer, friendlier "fabric" feel rather than the typical hard rubber feel of a stock steering wheel.

Autozone had a nice black one similar to the one KdeB posted. Its easier to put them on after you put it in a clothes dryer on high heat for five minutes. I also use two pieces of velcro or double sided tape (at 9 and 3) on the inside to keep the cover from sliding on the wheel if it ever gets too loose.

It would keep your hands warm, lol

Why? If its the non leather wheel, it isn't worth anything, and many people have them just sitting after removal for upgrade

If you want a nice tight cover that looks and feels like OEM, then a real leather cover that laces on is the way to go. I have installed several covers from Wheelskins on older cars that needed some love, and they are awesome.

Is it alright to put a steering wheel cover over the heated steering wheel?

Beware, any steering wheel cover that does not fit snugly and can slide at all, will create wear on any area of the wheel it touches. I learned this today the hard way on our Prius.

Another vote here for a stitch on leather cover from Wheelskins. I've installed these on three different vehicles. Well worth it.

Did you DIY this?

Yes, the Wheelskins covers are easy to POY. (put on yourself… hee hee)

Don’t have one on our Maverick, but have used them for years on British sports cars we have. They last forever, and a few times when I’ve had to remove the Wheelskin, the company has sent a new lacing for free so I could put it back on or on another car.

Unless you want a "fatter" grip or the look of a steering wheel cover, why do this?
The fake stuff cleans up easily and when it's shot, probably your Maverick will be a rust bucket too and it won't make much difference.

Yes.
In the winter, I use a thin cover pictured below on my heated steering wheel with no problem.
My skin is very acidic it destroys the finish on leather or pleather steering wheels, replacement covers are cheap.
At that point the steering wheel always feels tacky. My hands can destroy the finish in a steering wheel in less than a year.
