A seat cover protects car seats from spills and stains that can damage the fabric. Some seat covers are made with a foam lining to provide additional comfort for the person sitting in the seat. They are held in place by zippers, Velcro fasteners, or buttons. The material can be cloth, leather or synthetic materials. Some seat covers are designed to be a permanent feature of the vehicle, while others can be used temporarily for specific occasions, such as when a mechanic test drives the car or you take it out on the beach to prevent salt and sand from damaging the upholstery.
If you want your seat covers to match the rest of the interior of your vehicle, there are many colors to choose from. You can get a set of universal seat covers that fit most cars, trucks and SUVs. These cover the front buckets and rear bench seat in most vehicles. They can be cleaned easily using a damp cloth or washed in the machine. They are available in a range of hues, from two-tone electric blue and black to sophisticated neutrals such as tan and brown on black. You can even get seat covers with officially licensed logos from most major auto manufacturers.
For a more luxurious appearance, you can choose a seat cover that is made from real leather. This is a more expensive option than synthetic leather, but it will also last longer and look better. You can also select a vinyl cover that looks like leather but is easier to clean and less expensive. Another option is neoprene, which is similar to the synthetic rubber used in wetsuits and can repel sweat, water and mud for a cleaner look.
