A seat cover is a protective covering that slips over car seats to prevent spills, dirt, and pet hair from ruining your vehicle’s upholstery. They’re available in a variety of colors, from neutral gray and charcoal to pink and mint green, and are designed to be durable, water-resistant, and easy to clean. Whether you’re looking to upgrade the look of your car or protect its resale value, there’s a seat cover for every vehicle and budget.
Featuring a soft, breathable neoprene fabric (the same material used to make wetsuits), this seat cover from Gorla is sweatproof and waterproof. The front covers are padded for comfort and have a secure backing that won’t slip. They’re advertised as a universal fit for bucket and bench seats and include a neoprene seat belt cover. They’re machine washable and can be rolled up for storage.
Some car owners choose fabric seat covers for their ability to wipe down easily and to keep their seats cool in the summer. Others prefer the leather look of leather covers, which can be expensive and require more maintenance work to keep them looking good.
For those who like to add a little flair, you can also buy covers that feature embroidered or printed designs. Some even have built-in lumbar support cushions to alleviate strain on your back during long drives. For a more rugged, Western-style seat cover, check out the range from Saddle Blanket Seat Covers. They’re crafted from the same MOLLE and PALS material you’d find on military vehicles, and can be customized with embroidery or a woven blanket.
