Default Long term seat storage

I'm going to replace my stock seats with Fiero seats with custom covers from Mr Mikes. What's the best way to store the original seats?

Are you single? If so, just mount them in your living room.

I put them in big plastic lawn/trash bags and put them on top of a cabinet in the garage . . But we don't have extremes in temps or humidity.

Your profile doesn't indicate where you live, so I would think environment is a big factor to avoid mold, etc. Good luck.

I'm not a big fan of storing anything. If you replaced them , they were probably trashed and needing recovering. A person could fill a whole garage full of stuff to store, for someone in the future to throw them out anyway.

Fiero seats are an upgrade and the '77 seats are not very comfortable. Trash 'em. Just my .02 cents

I have mine in my shop stored on the mezzanine with a blanket thrown over them. I don't place anything on them, or they will leave indentations.
