I can't say enough good things about my Cheap sheepskin seat cover on my EG. what it does for me is prevent sweaty butt and fanny fatigue on long rides or summer cruises. I bought a full sheepskin from Amazon. The link is here:
it was perfectly sized for my stock seat. I installed a total of 6 brass grommets, 3 per side, at the bottom edge of the skin. The grommet kits are made by Stanley and are available for $6-8 at most home improvement stores. I then took shock cord that came from WallyWorld in the boating section for rigging kayaks and laced the cord under the seat. It slides off and on easily pulling the seat. It does sit me a little closer and higher as it is thick! But not enough to throw off any ergonomics. Just a heads-up. I'll try to get some pics up soon. Total cost was about $60

I used an Alaskan Sheepskin Medium Cruiser size for years, then I stopped at Bridger Fur Co, in Bridger MT on my way back from Sturgis and before Redlodge and purchased an unsheared skin.
Wool is warm in winter, cool in summer. My unsheared now covers my seat and my Alaska sheared skin now covers the pillion seat.
For trips that are longer than a weekend, say 2-3 weeks, I stick an airhawk under both skins for weeks of *** comfy riding.
I use a Hammock seat, which on its own allows me to ride all week long with not complaints, but the sheepskin makes riding a luxury and the airhawk takes seat time out of the equation for long rides. If we want to ride an extra 250 miles late afternoon, we just ride into the sunset and do it.
Life is good when your *** is happy, especially two up.
Sheepskin makes a bad seat tolerable and a good seat a luxury.
Added: We use Velcro onewrap slit into 1/2" or 3/8" strips to secure the sheepskin to the saddlebag bars in front and the shock support in the rear for the pillion pad.

picked up 5 full pieces [about 30" x 24" or so] at the thrift store yesterday for 24 bucks 1 on bike 2 in truck and 1 on the floor on each side of the bed. the middle sized 1 fit the bike seat perfect going to get a couple of pieces of elastic and sew it to the bottom. removable seat cover. I was surprised at how cool it was. I figured cheap chance to try it out.
We made a sheepskin into a seat cover. Warm in winter, cool in summer, slight padding all year long. No more slipping and sliding on a freshly polished seat. Just doesn't like to get wet. We have cover for that.
