This cover is very nice feeling.  Soft, like those ultra soft bathroom mats :).  It's also very big, as we needed for an oversized chair.  It also came with a couple extra little extensions to keep the pad secured to the chair.  We are using this on a BIG and TALL lift chair and because the seat back is SUPER tall, this will work, with a few minor adjustments.  But this is by far the best option we could find and so much nicer than the cheaper covers.
