A seat cover protects your car’s interior from spills, stains and general wear. Depending on the material, it can also boost comfort and style. Choose from a variety of colors and fabrics, including neoprene, leather, faux leather, and vinyl. Some covers come with a headrest cover, too. Look for one with a nylon lining and anti-slip backing to keep the cover in place. Some even have UV protection to guard against fading.
Many seat covers slip over your seats and attach with straps or Velcro to keep them in place. Some are universal to fit a range of vehicles, while others are made specifically for your vehicle’s make and model. If your vehicle has seat airbags, it’s best to choose a cover that does not interfere with their function.
Fabric blends like cotton and terry cloth are comfortable, machine washable, and resistant to odor-causing stains. Faux leather and leatherette are luxurious and stout against pet hair, sticky fingers, and spills. Leather is easy to wipe clean and withstands wear and tear better than other materials. You can even find faux-leather covers that feature the same pattern as your vehicle’s factory upholstery.
