A seat cover is an easy and inexpensive way to protect new seats or hide old ones with stains, scratches or rips. They are available in a wide variety of styles, colors and patterns and can even be customized to fit your specific vehicle. Seat covers are a great way to make a small, but noticeable change to your car’s interior décor and can add a little extra comfort to the driver and passengers.
When selecting seat covers, it is important to consider the fabric used. There are several options, including neoprene and polyester. Neoprene is similar to the material in wetsuits and offers great protection, flexibility and comfort. It is also breathable and won’t get hot or cold as easily as leather or vinyl. NeoSupreme is the younger brother of neoprene, with many of the same properties at a lower price.
If you have children or pets, a stain-resistant seat cover is a must. Lighter-colored covers are also helpful because they can help keep the seats cool in warm weather and hide soiled areas.
It is important to take accurate measurements of the seats you want to cover, and to keep in mind other details such as side armrests or reclining levers, which may affect fitment. Then, you can find a set of covers that will not only look good but will protect your upholstery and improve the resale value of your vehicle. It is also a good idea to test a few different sets of covers before making a purchase.
