After getting used to your car, you figure that your car’s factory seats are holding up. They look okay. However, they start to age, going through severe wear and tear from spills, dirt, pets, and sun damage. Before you know it, your seats look dull and feel uncomfortable. Fortunately, there’s a solution: car seat covers.
Giving top protection to your car seats, offering a custom look for your interior, and hiding existing damage, these covers are an excellent way to ensure your vehicle looks clean and pristine on the inside. Here, we’ll learn why are car seat covers are essential, and how to choose the right ones.
It can be a real hassle to clean your car seats if they get dirty or something gets spilled on them. You may have to use various cleaning supplies to remove the dirt and stains. Pets shed their hair during car trips, and you have to use a vacuum to get the hair off. Pet nails are trouble too, poking at your new leather seats. Sun rays, magnified by the glass of your windows, can also dull your seats’ color.
All these troubles make it important for you to find a solution that protects your investment. A seat cover provides a protective barrier from all common issues. Your seats will be secure from all types of spills, dirt, debris, UV damage, and friction while helping you maintain your car’s resale value.
When choosing seat covers, here are four materials that will help your car seats look spotless and protect them from the problems mentioned before:
- Canvas Seat Covers – Perfect for people with active lifestyles, this seat cover is a popular choice because of its hard-wearing and long-lasting properties. It can withstand unpredictable weather changes and daily rough treatments, like water spills and mud splashes. Being tough, this material is also highly comfortable and pleasing on an aesthetical level. It’s also tight-fitting, stretching over your car seats perfectly and leaving no room for uncomfortable and unattractive wrinkling and bunching of fabric. If you have kids, pets, or both, this car seat cover is an ideal option for you.
- Leather Look Seat Covers – This option is perfect for those who live in an area with colder weather, but it can be a real problem during the hot months. The cover doesn’t absorb spills, and most liquids sit on top of the surface. That means your seats stay safe the entire time. However, some may get sticky on hot days, depending on the quality of the cover you purchase.
- Neoprene Seat Covers – Made from the same material as high-pressure, temperature, and moisture-resistant scuba suits, neoprene seat covers offer maximum protection against water damage, spills, dirt, debris, and UV rays. It is the perfect material for off-road enthusiasts and dirt-bike riders, who don’t mind getting messy.
- Velour Seat Covers – This fabric boasts a plush knitted appearance. Made from polyester or cotton and similar to velvet, this fabric offers the utmost comfort while providing an extra-soft finish. It’s not good when it comes to water resistance, but it’s perfect if you want style and comfort while driving with your friends or family.
