How to Choose a Seat Cover

A seat cover is a simple, affordable way to add some extra comfort and protection to your vehicle seats. These covers slip right over your existing upholstery and provide an extra layer of padding and liquid-resistant material. They’re available in a wide range of colors and patterns, too, so you can find one that matches your car’s interior design. Some are also designed to be easily cleaned and sanitized. These cover options are ideal for families with kids or pets who tend to leave behind smudges and spills.

If you want to make your vehicle’s seats more comfortable and durable, you can opt for a fabric cover that’s woven from materials like neoprene or canvas. These fabrics are tough and effective at repelling liquid, dirt and dust. They’re also plush, meaning they won’t feel cold or hard in the winter and can withstand lots of use and abuse.

Some covers are made from linen or cotton materials. They’re soft and breathable but don’t offer the same level of durability as a leather or neoprene cover. Some are backed by a warranty and come in a variety of colors, too.

Other seat covers are made from synthetic leather and faux suede, which are both durable and comfortable to sit on for long periods of time. These covers typically look and feel like real leather but can be less expensive than a genuine leather cover. They’re also easier to clean and don’t absorb heat as well as a dark-colored leather seat might.
