I don't understand the question? Why do you have it indoors heated and then why cover it?

For indoor storage I like a cover that I can throw in the wash. I bought one made by Covercraft that's made of lycra/spandex. It has a nice, tight fit and can be washed to get the dust off of it. It keeps the car (and especially the interior) pretty dust-free when the car is parked in the garage for an extended period. Sometimes when working in the garage I'm making dust or I'll blow the garage out with a leaf blower occasionally, and the cover keeps all that stuff from getting all over the car.

Thanks John. That’s pretty much my scenario. Trying to keep dust out when working inside.
If your garage is prone to providing a home for mice, I recommend you put a couple of moth balls in each footwell, a couple in the trunk, and a couple in the engine compartment. The cover will help contain the fumes from the moth balls, which keeps the mice away.

I store several cars inside a pole barn (unheated, but dry) I have a few style covers and all are fine for indoor storage. If something is stored outdoors in the weather, then it becomes an important issue. My '33 will has a Seal Skin $89, which is about the same as my Jeep's Quadratech cover on it, and my wife's Miata has the factory Mazda cover (It appears to be made by California Covers) which is clearly the nicest. They all work fine for indoor storage, but the Miata cover rolls up in a much smaller bag. Being I have no top on my '33, there were not too many covers that fit it well. Seal skin has one made for the '33 (which I bought) and it fits well, but would fit nicer if I had a roof.
