I’ve been considering it but the seats have airbags. There is a warning not to use seat covers because of them.

It is possible to purchase seat covers that have a provision for the deployment of side airbags. You just have to look carefully to find this type of cover.

Maybe. Ask at an upholstery shop where they do couches and such.
