All of the above face cushion replacement options will no doubt find a place with a specific HTC Vive user, but you might still be wondering which one to try first.
If you're unsure whether you want to go with more PU leather or stock foam — the former is comfy but can cause sweat to build up and the latter can get grimy quick — check out VR Cover's cotton option. They're quite affordable, especially since you get two covers in a pack, and they're machine washable so that you can keep them looking like new. Your field-of-view might be slightly cut down, but the comfort level is a worthwhile tradeoff for a lot of people.
That being said, we like the idea of disposable covers, whether you're putting on a VR demonstration at a conference or having some friends over. It's technically the priciest option on this list, but you get 100 disposable covers from VR Cover so you never have to worry about washing or hygiene.
