Default Car seat cover that fits X40?

When I bought the car it had some ugly seat covers so I removed it and noticed how it had dirty spots all over the seats...
I went to a local store and bought some universal seat covers. They look nice and feel really good, however they don't fit properly on the V40 car. The head rest part is way to small and the cover doesn't fit the seats properly.

I was wondering if anyone of you have some experience in seat covers and know some good covers that would fit the car without any bigger issue.

you should not use seat covers as the car has side air bags in the seat which could cause you injury if they are restrained by a seat cover !

If you mean the plastic "box" on the side with the handle where you adjust the seat, then that's not covered.

That is only the trigger , the air bag bursts out of the outer side of the seat backrest.,.
