Got my OEM seat covers in for my 2 door today, and I can't use them because they aren't compatible with heated seats. Are there any options out there for me? I don't want to tear up the leather seats with how I slide in and out of the vehicle. I'm a pretty big guy haha

It was OEM cover king seats, I work at a dealership so I ordered them for a discount. So I guess the Carhartt covers are compatible with heated seats then?

I don’t see how any slip on seat covers would be incompatible with heated seats. It would just take longer for you to feel the heat from them as there’s more layers of material for the heat to travel through.

I'm with you, I don't see why this would be a problem and I'd just use them anyway.

For your beaded seat cover - Do you put these in the microwave for 1-2 minutes before getting into your truck to get that warming feeling while you drive? Or do you simply place a heating pad under it and plug it in? Curious what other solutions may be available.

You all hit the nail on the head. You are covering the original seat with something that may or may not cause an issue. That is why they are not “compatible” ford doesn’t want to deal with headache if something happens.

Yep I ran into the same issue. I wish they had something in the order that "specified" not for heated seats...now I am trying to sell my Ford OEM front seats that I cannot use.
