Volvo dealer would be best bet. Volvo rubber mats are not that expensive, I paid £45 for a full set for my xc.
Seat covers may be a problem, they are not recommended if you have side protection airbags built into the seats. Don't know if your car has but my previous P1 v70 did.

The other thought about seat covers that goes through my mind is wondering if the seats in the car are heated and whether covers would affect them.

From the seat airbags point of view, most slip over seat covers these days are designed with weaker stitching in the appropriate places purely because of the possibility of air bags - but worth checking though!

The genuine Volvo rubber mats don’t have C70 written on them, just Volvo, as they are conman to the C30 range as well. I have a set of genuine Volvo ‘all weather’ rubber mats to fit a C70 in near new condition if you are interested? If so, just let me know and I’ll arrange and price and shipping

When we bought 'er indoors Mini Cooper we wanted seat covers for the front seats - we looked high and low for some quality covers that looked good and did the job. The problem we found was that seat covers are unfashionable and most of the ones on the market are horrible stretch nylon reminiscent of the 1970's and dangling furry dice. We eventually found a company -jcseatcovers.co.uk - who manufacture bespoke covers to fit a specific model and in a choice of materials. We ordered two front seat covers and were very pleased with the high quality - they were easy to fit and still look as new after 18 months use. They are specifically made for airbags and if cloth covers are chosen the heated seats function would no longer be needed so that would not be an issue. I have no connection with the company other than as an extremely satisfied customer and have no hesitation in recommending them. It took about four weeks for manufacture and delivery from the time of ordering.
