Abstract
An apparatus for covering a seat may have a seat cover that may be positioned in an installed configuration. The apparatus may further comprise a load bearing element comprising a flexible strap attached to the seat cover. A first anchoring mechanism may attach to the flexible strap at a first inflection point of the flexible strap. A central load support mechanism may attach to the flexible strap at a second inflection point of the flexible strap. A second anchoring mechanism may attach to the flexible strap at a third inflection point of the flexible strap. In the installed configuration, the first anchoring mechanism attaches to a first headrest column and the second anchoring mechanism attaches to a second headrest column.
