Default Budget friendly seat covers?

Ok folks,
I have a 2002 Dakota pickup regular cab with the 40/20/40 seat configuration. Obviously the drivers side bolster is down and the fabric is torn. Seat are pretty dirty and when we got rained on yesterday and got the seats wet the smell was very special in the truck today.
The seats will be cleaned this week but I also want to cover them. I see a lot of options online including something like this:

Seats are high back with integrated headrest. Ideally I'd like seat cushions that can be washed and are a little more resiliant to the ranch work we are doing.

Can I get some recommendations in the area of $50 maybe?

Thanks HK

Fleabay is about as cheap as you're going to get. If you're just wanting to cover the bottoms, make your own. A fabric store like JoAnne Fabrics has headliner material and you buy it by the yard. It runs between $10 and $20 per yard. The have all sorts of colors and patterns. Don't feel self conscious going in there. The last time I went in, there was one lady in line with her daughter. Then there was me and 4 other guys, some looking rather rough, in line buying fabric. Get a good pair of scissors and some hog ring pliers and rings and ou can make custom covers.
