Here's why I asked. My dog has trashed my front seats

These are Katzkin brand covers that I put in my truck. The seller was on eBay, so it’s probably similar to what you posted.

At each seam, there will be a strip of Velcro that attaches to another Velcro strip on the seat foam. That’s what gives it the tucked-in look.

Here is a duplicate of the factory seat bottom:

And these are the factory leather seats is my Tahoe.

Yours probably has the Velcro on the leather cover but not on the foam, which is why they are flat in your photo. There was nothing to “tuck” it into and make it stay put so as to minimize wear.

Replacements may not fit that well if they cannot attach at the Velcro seams. It may be worthwhile to pull yours up and see if you have the Velcro attached to the foam seams.

There is a thin layer of foam attached to the leather, so you’d be looking under that layer for either factory cloth or a foam cushion.

It does seem to be tucked in, or it used to be. My drivers side foam is trashed. But perhaps you're right. I could checked before I put the duck tape on. Will find out fairly soon. My focus is on the mechanical etc right now. Was thinking of buying the covers and foam now as the price seems to have dropped since I last looked. For $350 I can get both lowers and drivers foam. Upholstery shop quoted $550 for drivers seat only.
Thanks for your help.

Your covers do look more tucked than mine in this photo from when I bought it. I think you're probably right about having the wrong foam.

I think I took these photos for the insurance company when I bought it and I didn't realize I had one of my interior. Sorry it's sideways

I’d be interested to see how they attached those covers, whether they stripped the cloth off and put new foam down with velcro (doubtful) or just put the leather on top of the cloth and used the hog rings to attach it to the seat frame.

Can you pinch the center of the cover and lift it up?

Worst case, they glued the leather right on top of the cloth. Replacement would be challenging.

There's no cloth underneath that I saw through the hole in the leather that is now duct taped up. Just orange foam.
Need new foam anyway so I don't think it will be a problem. But will buy new foam for the passenger side that doesn't need it so it has the velcro.

Would have really sucked if I took them all apart and then the drivers seat looked different to the passenger because it wasn't tucked. So thanks much for the info and help.
