Your car’s seats may be upholstered with durable fabrics, but years of use and exposure to sunlight are sure to take their toll. Seat covers can help protect against spills, tears, fading, and other damage, keeping your interior looking good for the duration of your ownership.
They can also hide stains that you just can’t seem to get out of your seats, and if your car, truck, or SUV has seen better days, seat covers can give the interior a fresh new look. Many different types of seat cover are available, with options ranging from breathable fabric to waterproof materials, so you’re sure to find the right one for your vehicle.
The most basic seat covers are made of cloth, with some padded for added comfort. More premium coverings include leather, which adds a luxurious look and feel to your seat, and vinyl, which is inexpensive and easy to clean. Increasingly popular is neoprene, a synthetic rubber that’s often used to make wetsuits; it’s water-resistant, comfortable, and comes in a wide range of colors and patterns.
For safety, any seat cover designed for seats with airbags must be able to tear open when the airbag deploys. TigerTough designs all of its seat covers to meet this requirement, and has them tested by a third party to make sure they do. For more peace of mind, you can also get covers designed to accommodate a driver’s or passenger’s airbag if the vehicle is equipped with one.
