important for a car appearance, but no less important is interior decoration salon. Car seat covers are designed to protect against dirt and wear from permanent use. In addition, they can unrecognizably change the interior of the car. Add aesthetics and beauty, give new look boring standard salon.
The market offers something for every taste and pocket of the buyer. Of the additional car accessories that car enthusiasts purchase, car seat covers occupy the first place. But how to choose covers for the car, so that they are durable and high-quality and at the same time inexpensive? Let's dwell on this in more detail.
Types of car seat covers
Car covers can be classified into four types. The first are model, made for a specific model of the machine. They perfectly fit the seat, taking into account the shape of the lateral support and the headrest.
Anatomy universal cases designed to be worn on seats different cars. They, of course, will not be as comfortable as the first option, but they are the most common on sale, and their price is lower due to mass production.
Capes - "T-shirts" cover only the most worn parts of the seats - the bottom and back. The rest of the space is left open.
One of the varieties of car seat covers are seat covers. Here the choice is quite wide: massage, heated, from animal fur, against pollution - for hunters and fishermen, and many others.
Seat Cover Materials
One of the most popular materials for cases is artificial leather. Products from it are durable, reliable and practical. High-quality leatherette is practically indistinguishable from a natural analogue by eye. At the same time, it has all the qualities inherent in the skin: it is perfectly washed and cleaned, it passes air and does not contain harmful substances.
Genuine leather is unrivaled. The reasons for its popularity are its natural origin, high wear resistance, elasticity and pleasant to the touch texture, durability and prestige. The only negative is the price, moreover, from quite moderate to exorbitant.
Car seat covers made from auto velor have long been a classic. They are inexpensive, original design and look good in the car. The advantages of velor include: strength, low maintenance, simple cleaning, big choice colors.
Covers are completely sewn from auto fabric or inserts are made. It is a specially engineered material designed for intensive use. Is different long term services without losing its beautiful appearance.
Custom car seat covers
In addition to purchasing ready-made options protection against pollution in specialized stores, you can still sew capes to order. This method of completing the car interior has its advantages. Cases to order more expensive pleasure, but it's worth it.
Firstly, the material can be chosen based on your preferences, combining several types of fabric and leather. Then you get products with different textures and colors, pleasant in appearance and to the touch.
Secondly, with the help of a specialist, you can make your own design of covers - the most suitable for the driver, taking into account his anatomical features.
Third, although custom-made car covers are more expensive than mass-produced products, they are much cheaper than branded designer products, and can be no worse in quality. Leather seat covers are considered the most an expensive option tailoring.
And fourth, the ordered accessory will be sewn only in a single exclusive copy.
When choosing car seat covers, whether it's a store-bought model or a custom-made one, it's important to take into account several parameters that play a big role in the convenience of daily use and the durability of the product. They must be strong. The threads used to sew car seat covers must be processed special composition. You need to buy products with the ability to adjust.
Fixtures for fasteners must be reliable so that later the covers do not come off and do not move out. The material of the product must be selected based on easy cleaning and easy maintenance. In addition, experts recommend having two sets of capes - for summer and for winter. For the summer, products made from natural and light fabrics are suitable, and for the cold season, warm and dense materials are preferable.
Many inexperienced drivers, given the modern fabrics used for seat upholstery, may consider car seat covers an unnecessary anachronism. But the very first trip with friends for a picnic, small children and parents, amateur gardeners and field farmers, will soon change their minds to the opposite.
How to choose the right car covers for your car? video
Congratulations! Now you will read not about the fact that our store has the best and highest quality cases in the world, but about how to choose them objectively and consciously from any seller. In this article, we will try to explain in the most detailed and reliable way the points that you should pay attention to when choosing car covers. It's just a matter of choosing quality cases, advantages and disadvantages of some materials relative to others, read the article "Choice of material for car covers"
Eat 6 main criteria when choosing, we will consider each of them in order:
1. Universal or "model" (for your car model)?
If you want universal ones, take the cheapest ones and that's it. Buying such cases is money thrown to the wind, so it is better to throw away as little as possible. If you want model, go to the second paragraph.
2. Are there patterns for my car model?
You need to ask this question to the seller. In this case, you need to name the make of the car, model, year of manufacture, sedan / hatchback or station wagon, whether there is a rear armrest, the backrest of the rear row of seats is separate or solid, how many head restraints (active / inactive), etc. distinctive features car models. If the seller says yes, then the conversation continues accordingly.
3. The material from which car covers are made.
a) eco-leather.
Material thickness. It must be at least 1 mm. Eco-leather consists of a layer of polyurethane foam with an outer film coating. All this is applied to the fabric base. (see fig.). So, all together it should have a minimum thickness of 1mm (the more, the better).
Now the most interesting thing is that you will not be able to distinguish eco-leather with a thickness of 0.8 mm from eco-leather with a thickness of 1.1 mm, even if you hold a piece of material in one hand and a ruler in the other.
In this case, a piece of eco-leather from Autopilot covers (just 1.05-1.15 mm) can serve as a guideline. If there is such a piece, you need to fold it in half in a place where there is no foam rubber and by touch compare the thickness with leather of unknown origin.
- If there is no eco-leather sample from Autopilot, we perform the following test:
We place the material to be tested on a flat hard surface (for example, a table), take a plastic cap from a ballpoint pen and try to scratch the eco-leather with the tip of the cap.
If we apply a force equal to or slightly more than that with which we erase the protective coating from a lottery ticket or something similar and at the same time we fail to break the outer layer of eco-leather, the material is suitable for use. Yes, if you scratched eco-leather with a nail, this is not a reason to think about its quality) Loads must meet the requirements for eco-leather.
- Another criterion is the density of the woven base of eco-leather. The denser this base, the closer to each other the weaving threads, the thicker these threads - the more resistant the eco-leather to mechanical influences(tear, stretch, etc.) Photo 1 (correct base).
- Another point is perforation. Perforated leather - leather with through holes (usually round), made at a certain distance from each other. So, the holes should be even, through, the same size, at the same distance between them. There should be no unremoved particles of material from the resulting holes. Photo 2
Now about eco-leather brands. If the covers cost about 6,000 rubles, then you need to forget about such names as Hortica, Automotive, etc. (The material itself is more expensive than covers at least two times). Most often, car covers sellers proudly declare that their products are made of eco-leather "Aregon", "Arigon", "Oregon", "Oregon", etc. These names with a probability of 99.99% are an empty phrase. The manufacturer of car covers "Autopilot" declares the name of the eco-leather "Arigon", and since. "Autopilot" has proven itself very well, other manufacturers are happy to say that their covers are made of eco-leather "Aregon", "Arigon", "Oregon", "Oregon". So do not worry about the names and check the quality of eco-leather with the "folk" methods described above.
Tip - if the seller of auto covers says that: "The eco-leather from which the covers are made uses particles of genuine leather" - think about it! Either the seller is being disingenuous, to put it mildly, or he is mentally ill. There is a type of leather made from shredded natural leather waste, but this is not the case.
Eco leather does not smell! Even if it is seriously heated.
Should be soft to the touch.
The texture of eco-leather should be clearly visible - a sign of thickness. The less textured eco-leather, the indirectly thinner.
Here is an example.
As you can see in the photo Automotive and Hortica have a much more pronounced texture than Oregon (1.1mm). This is not so much about the fact that Automotive and Hortica are thicker than Oregon (1.1mm). This is a sign that the thickness protective film coating more for Automotive and Hortica than the entire polyurethane foam layer. The thickness of this coating and its wear resistance is the wear resistance of covers. It is this coating that indulges in texture. The thicker the coating, the more pronounced the texture. The Oregon is 1.1mm thick in the photo. This is a sufficient thickness for covers, if less - the covers will crack in a couple of months (or earlier). Accordingly, an Oregon with a thickness of less than 1.1 mm will have an even less pronounced texture than an Oregon in the photo.
b) Alcantara.
Alcantara is a material that visually and to the touch resembles suede. Again, if the covers are in the region of 6000 rubles. and the seller of the covers says that they were used in their manufacture original alcantara- he shamelessly lies, or is also cruelly mistaken (1 sq.m of the original Alcantara costs about 70 euros, such sq.m. for the middle parts of the covers you need at least 4x, then simple mathematical calculations and conclusion ...)
So faux alcantara must be selected as follows:
- This material should have a fine-haired surface (pile length about 0.5 mm).
- The density of the pile should be such that the woven basis of this material is not visible.
- There should be no shine. The color should be matte, otherwise the cases will look “cheap”.
- If you direct the pile in one direction, it will have one shade, if in the other - a little lighter or darker. Someone likes this feature of the material, someone does not, but it is its integral property.
If all these criteria are met, the material will be similar to the original Alcantara and will look decent. Photo 3 (a good substitute looks like this).
c) cloth.
Most often used crepe or jacquard. The fabric should be dense, thick enough to carry loads and not clog with dirt. The fabric should not shine - a sign of using cheap synthetics. If this is automotive velour, the same thing - the pile needs to be dense, frequent. To the touch, it should not be too soft, “velvet” - otherwise it will quickly become dirty, “salting”. A good option- American Velours.
4. The quality of the fasteners.
front seats. Most often, on the “seats” of the front seats themselves, a scheme is used: elastic bands around the perimeter with sewn-in hooks (or hooks separately in a bag) + a tight cord sewn around the perimeter. Photo 4,5,6
Rubber bands should naturally be strong and well sewn. The cord must be strong and not frayed.
It is better when the hooks are sewn into elastic bands and have a certain shape. Photo 7
For convenience, we will call them "Euro hooks". This makes it easier to install covers.
There are also S-shaped hooks, lying separately in the package. This is not critical, the fastening is no less reliable, but much less convenient during installation (you need to get the hooks, thread them into elastic bands, squeeze them with pliers, and so about 20-25 times ...).
"Slings" are also sometimes used. At the same time, the fastening of the cover is less uniform and accurate, but strong enough. Photo 8
The backs of the front seats must be fastened either with a textile lock (Velcro) - it must be wide (5 cm), or with rubber bands with hooks (on different models vehicles differently). Photo 9
Some manufacturers sew a foam roller to the bottom of the front seat back cover. It is understood that by passing this roller into the space between the "seat" and the back front seat, You will be able to attach the case… No! You can't!
Rear sofa. As a rule, these are elastic bands with hooks + tight cord. Perhaps additionally wide loops from the same eco-leather around the perimeter. Photo 10
A cord is subsequently threaded through these loops for additional fixation.
Rear backs.
Firstly, the individual parts of the backrest should be put into separate covers, and not into one whole cover, which must be unzipped with a zipper sewn into it to fold the backrest. Photo 11 (as it should be).
If backrest separate, and puts on in one integral cover, you will think 10 times whether it is necessary to lay out the back, because. this process in such cases will piss you off each time more and more. Photo 11.1
The use of zippers when unfolding the rear armrest does not cause any particular inconvenience, so many manufacturers use this scheme. Photo 12
Secondly rear end the backs should also be covered with a cover. Photo 13
Some covers on the backs of the rear row of seats at the back (view from the trunk) are tied with ropes, rubber bands and other magic ... 1) It looks disgusting. 2) Everything that is in the trunk will touch these ropes and elastic bands. Here is a photo
All technological holes(for head restraint clips, adjustment knobs, belt holders, seat folding mechanisms) must be made by the manufacturer and reinforced with seams.
It is allowed to make some holes directly during the installation of the covers, but this should be done by a person with the skills of such manipulations, but if the covers are installed independently, there is a risk of damage to the covers.
5. The quality of tailoring and fitting patterns.
See photos of installed covers on the website or in the paper catalog. Preferably for your car model. If there is no photo for your model, evaluate the level of tailoring according to the photo of other car models. On the covers there should be no folds, waves, voids, the anatomy of the seats should be readable.
Photo 14.15 (no folds, all surfaces are even - this is how well-tailored covers should look)
If the seller of covers says that the covers are sewn according to the patterns of automakers and at the same time the cut of the covers does not repeat the cut of the native upholstery - he is lying, or does not understand what he is talking about.
Eat two main types of models covers(consider the example of Kia Rio from 2011):
1st view. Seat made to measure specific model cars, and at the same time it is quite possible they will sit really very well. An example of such covers is "Autopilot", "Avtofront". The cut does not repeat the cut of the native upholstery, it repeats the external and some inner dimensions seats and therefore autocovers sit well and fit exactly to the desired car model.
At the same time, the seller can say that after installing such covers, the interior cannot be distinguished from the altered one. YES! If you do not look at this salon. And if you take a sober look at things, then it will be a salon with well-tailored and well-installed covers.
Photo 14.15 (covers sewn according to the SIZES of a specific car model)
2nd view. Sewn according to LECAL seats of a specific car model. These car covers exactly repeat the pattern of the native upholstery of a certain car model. An example of such covers in our store are "Lite constriction" and "Case with drawstrings". These covers are more detailed and worked out, which, in combination with the original fastening system, gives the full effect of the interior upholstery. Photo 16.17 (covers sewn according to the LECAL of the interior of a specific car model)
6. Price.
- High-quality eco-leather car covers today (March 17, 2015) do not cost less than 6,000 rubles. (very rare, 5700 - 5800 - but these are promotions, sales, discounts, etc.).
This price is determined by the price of material, accessories, production cost and other factors affecting pricing.
If you intend to buy eco-leather covers for 4000-5000 rubles. - think, it would not be better to spend this money on something good ...
- Covers made of high-quality automotive fabric also do not cost less than 5000-6000 rubles.
DO NOT FORGET about the airbag burst seams in the seats, if your vehicle is equipped with side airbags. These seams must be made from “weakened” (non-reinforced) threads, or a technological window must be made.
Summing up all of the above, I would like to note that it is advisable to choose car covers, as well as most goods, as a combination of quality characteristics and their price expression. Cases made of eco-leather are far from the same depending on the manufacturer and the choice should be taken responsibly. Well, the selection tools, we hope, we prompted you and the article will be useful.
Thanks, good vibes!
AutoFactura Administration
Owners of cars have long treated them not just as a means of transportation. First of all, it is a financial investment. After some time iron horse it is customary to sell or exchange for a better alternative version. Therefore, keeping the car in a good, “commodity” condition is economically feasible and profitable.
In addition to benefit, in a clean and cozy car it is much more pleasant to move around the city, spending several hours every day. According to statistics, most drivers spend 4 to 8 hours a day behind the wheel. It is for these two reasons that seat covers are bought. And for those who are just going to do it, we offer a few recommendations.
How to choose car seat covers
As a rule, the most opportune time to buy covers is immediately after purchasing the vehicle. They will keep the appearance of the seats in their original form. Some can be very difficult to find in size. Sometimes the length is right, but the width is a little extra. Or quite the opposite.
What price will you have to pay? How long will they last and keep their appearance? All this is important to consider in order not to pay a decent price and in six months to forget how they looked when buying.
In the first place, of course, is the level of comfort that the covers you need can create. This is important because in the warm season people sometimes sit on the seat in shorts and skirts, and when the skin comes into contact with the material, there will be an unusual irritation or a feeling of comfort. Such sensations depend only on a competent prudent choice of covers when buying.
A few examples of existing options
As we have already identified, fabric is essential in practical applications for a variety of reasons. Therefore, you will be offered several common options, and you decide for yourself. what fabric to choose for car seat covers. Pay attention to the differences between them and compare the practical characteristics.
Velor, one of the most common options
Velor knowingly becomes the choice of most motorists. Velor fabric is very pleasant to the touch and has a fairly high affordability. One big plus can be safely attributed to such material - it will be pleasant and comfortable for you to sit in a velor chair being dressed in a variety of outfits.
Velor is also good because it has the ability to hold comfortable temperature. Both in winter and in summer, the seats do not overheat and do not overcool. But for comparison, we must definitely pay attention to the cons.
Velor covers also apply to those that wear out quickly. This means that the effect is inherent new purchase, goes away quickly. The fabric begins to wrinkle, the pile deteriorates and scuffs are especially visible in places of maximum friction. Also, the color of velor quickly fades. Not only from rapid wear and tear, but also from the constant accumulation of dust.
These covers need to be washed periodically, which can also affect their shape and appearance.
alcantara
Here we will talk about expensive material for covers. Alcantara has a list of advantages to choose from. Only if you are willing to pay a relatively high price.
To understand what this material is: Alcantara is compared with suede leather. It is just as durable and has a respectable appearance. Many motorists use Alcantara to reupholster the entire interior of the car. Covers made from it will serve you for a long period of time.
synthetic fabric
Covers made of fabric materials occupy a large part of the market. Many colors, various fasteners, eyelets. You can purchase the headrest cover separately different size. They are considered one of the cheapest, which attracts most buyers. They may look beautiful, but the quality almost always does not match the appearance. Such covers are bought rather in order to hide a damaged seat without repairing it.
Vinyl material for cases
Covers made on the basis of vinyl material have more disadvantages than advantages. Like all new things, they will look nice enough and in warm spring weather you will be comfortable sitting in such a chair. You can spill liquid on them and not worry about stains. This material is based on synthetic resin and is therefore moisture resistant.
But on hot days, when you dream of hiding from the heat, vinyl seats will only annoy. They get very hot, which is why everyone who uses such covers tries to put the car in the shade and use fabric linings. A similar situation occurs in winter when the vinyl surface becomes very cold.
Winter covers with wool fleece
There is also such a type of covers as winter ones. These are seasonal warming covers. Basically they have a similar appearance. The prices for them are very different. IN mass production come more affordable with faux fur. They are very comfortable and warm to sit on. In practice this is very useful thing.
Drivers of foreign cars leather seats use winter version covers as an alternative to heated seats. With the onset of the warm season, they are easily removed. Store them in a clean, dry place. If you liked one of these options, it’s better not to skimp on money and choose the most worthy ones for the winter. At budget versions there is always at least one drawback - you will be forced to constantly clean the clothes of lint.
Winter car covers are a very valuable thing, if you are lucky enough to get it made of natural material.
Leather car covers and artificial leather
Many car covers are made from leatherette. The quality of the material depends primarily on the price. If you are a lover of leather and luxury then you will have to suffer a little. But frankly, these kinds of covers rarely look luxurious, and their practical side is not much different from the advantages and disadvantages of vinyl seats.
Leather, as well as vinyl, begin to crack over time, heat up in summer, and freeze in winter and lose their elasticity. In addition, they need care with a special emulsion. Without prevention leather cases lose their appearance in the first year of intensive use.
Buy ready-made or make an individual order from the master
In fact, when choosing covers, everything can be both simple and vice versa. As you drive past an auto shop, you stop and decide to buy seat covers. Most often this is the case. We complain about the lack of time and make a purchase in order to quickly satisfy our interest.
As a result, this is what happens. You overpay extra money, buy goods from the window, in addition, the seller will assure you that it will be useful to buy a trinket that is completely useless for you, and only then you will realize that the retractable armrest is in the center rear seat is now blocked.
Perhaps things are not so scary with the purchase. And you correctly ask the price and determine the quality. In this case, try to consider the option individual order. You look at the catalog, and decide for yourself which car covers to choose. Feedback on such projects is always only positive. Price policy not much different from finished products, and sometimes you can get by with a smaller amount of money.
Among other things, the individual process of tailoring car covers is a very pleasant experience, causing a similar range of emotions with tailoring an expensive suit or dress to order. The master takes measurements from your seats and makes several sketches, taking into account the general color scheme the entire vehicle in order to achieve absolute harmony. And you evaluate and make a choice. Any wishes can be taken into account in your order.
In addition, tailor-made car covers will look very natural. They perfectly take shape and do not leave extra folds. And even if something does not suit you, you can always correct any defect from the same master. This is the privilege of working with an artisan.
What do most car enthusiasts do after buying a car, especially domestic production? That's right: choose floor mats and seat covers. The latter not only keep the upholstery from dirt, but also give the interior a personality. What materials are used in the manufacture of covers, their advantages and disadvantages, we will tell right now.
Covers made of smooth fabric (jacquard)
This is the most inexpensive look car covers. Matter gives you the opportunity to let your imagination go free, so you can find cases on sale in almost any color and with any pattern.
Jacquard fabric is characterized by a special technique of weaving threads, usually consisting of cotton or synthetic yarn. As a result of weaving, the result is a pattern that is a bit like a tapestry.
Covers made of smooth fabric are highly durable, they can easily endure washing, ironing and contact with the “working” surface (back and some other parts of the driver’s body); in other words, they last a long time. The disadvantages of this type of covers appear in the heat or frost. In the first case, it is too wet to sit, because the fabric does not absorb moisture well, and in the second, it is too cold, since the car covers do not accumulate (in the sense that they do not hold) your body heat.
Car covers can be purchased at an auto parts store or ordered online, for example. The choice is large, and payment methods are diverse - from cash to electronic money. Car covers can be bought one at a time, but if you own a fleet or are ready to open your own auto parts and accessories store, wholesale car covers are what you need.
Velor cases
Velor is not considered enough budget materials, but it has more practicality and more high degree fire resistance compared to smooth fabric. Velor autocovers are pleasant to the touch and do not allow the body to crawl on the seat. Finally, being new, they look neat and beautiful.
Velor is a fabric that is obtained by interweaving several threads, one of which forms a pile on the surface. Actually, the pile thread will determine the appearance of the product, its quality and consumer properties.
Velor seats, meanwhile, wear out and eventually lose their presentation. The pile is wiped in places, the fabric is folded, and therefore, to maintain the appearance of the interior, they need to be changed from time to time. Velor accumulates heat well, it is comfortable to sit on it in the cold even without additional seat heating.
Flock car covers
Flock is a lightweight material that is very often used in the manufacture of upholstered furniture - sofas, armchairs, etc. This type is a natural or synthetic fiber applied to a sticky fabric base. In other words, flock is a non-woven textile, for which a pile is used - nylon, polyamide or more complex composition. Drawing on flock fabric is applied by wet or dry printing. Flock can also be embossed and non-embossed.
The flock is practical in operation: it almost does not burn, it is cleaned with ordinary detergents without losing its original properties.
Vinyl cases
Another representative of inexpensive artificial materials. In terms of its advantages and disadvantages, it is very similar to car covers made of smooth fabric. A wide range of colors of the material allows you to realize any desire. However, it is even stronger than fabric, heats up in the sun and freezes in winter.
On the other hand, vinyl does not allow moisture to pass through and this is quite appreciated by pet lovers or summer residents along with nature lovers. After all, it will save the seat itself from getting wet.
Eco-leather cases
Car covers made of automotive leather look respectable and expensive to the touch. They require accuracy from the owners, but at the same time they are easy to care for.
They are soft and have all the qualities inherent in ordinary skin. Covers made of automotive leather are not much more expensive than fabric ones. They can be easily cleaned with even a simple damp cloth, which is why they are often recommended for couples with small children. Covers made of eco-leather are not afraid of frost or heat.
This type of car covers has a long service life. However, if you order cases made of light leather, then be prepared that over time it will change color and darken at the edges.
There are other car covers that you can buy in the ACUBA online store. Here, car owners are offered various options, including combined, covers self made(for example, knitted), etc.
Can you imagine how important it is to choose right away correct cases for auto? They should fit in width, size - this is the minimum. It is also important how much such covers cost, how they are washed, how long they will serve you, and most importantly, how comfortable they are. Comfort is determined by how you feel when sitting on seats with such covers and how they feel. Because our skin is in direct contact with seat covers, which can irritate and unnerve, or not be felt at all and be pleasant to the touch. In any case, today we have to figure out how to choose the right covers for cars.
Materials for car seat covers.
There is a large selection of materials for car covers. You only have to choose. But it is also important to treat the choice correctly, i.e. from the practical side of this aspect. Well, let's look at what materials are presented on modern market and what are their characteristics.
Velor is the most popular material for covers. Such covers have a low cost, which attracts most interested buyers. In addition, no matter what you wear, velor creates friction in sliding, which means you will be comfortable while driving. It is also worth noting that many people like to touch such a fleecy surface, although there are exceptions. In summer, such seats do not heat up from the sun, and in winter they do not get too cold, and they are very attractive in appearance. However, note that such covers will have to be washed carefully and changed regularly, because. this fabric can fold into folds, and the pile is crushed after a while.
Alcantara covers are somewhat similar to velor ones, they are just as soft, beautiful, attractive and warm. They do not always look practical, although in fact they turn out to be very durable. Alcantara is an artificial suede, which indicates a very high price of covers. At the same time, such covers are ready to serve for a long time, they are hard to mess up common man, neatly behaving in the cabin. So if you're willing to pay now for these cases, you'll get high quality and longevity of covers, not to mention how they look in the cabin!
Fabric covers are very diverse, you can at least sew several options for interior covers yourself. This great dignity, besides, they are easy to clean, they will serve you for a long time. However, for the covers, a fabric is used that does not absorb moisture and liquid, which makes staying in the cabin uncomfortable in the summer if the car does not have an air conditioning system.
Vinyl seat covers are also popular. They have acceptable prices and a large assortment. You can either buy ready-made or order special covers. For example, now you can easily find covers in silver or gold colors in the assortment of the catalog. However, with such covers, you may feel uncomfortable, both in cold and hot weather. The fact is that vinyl does not allow air to pass quietly, because in the summer the seats will be hot, and in the winter they will be cold. At the same time, there is a great advantage for drivers and passengers “dirty”: vinyl does not let air through, but also liquid, which will protect the seats and interior from dirt, water, slush, etc. pets, or those who constantly travel by car.
Stock up for the winter season fur covers. But purchase only high-quality covers so that the fur does not remain on clothes. Such covers are useful in winter, because. they do not cool down in frost, they warm easily, do not slip, they are very soft and comfortable. There are also disadvantages of such covers: they are not durable. Anyway, their appearance and cleanliness. Not only dirt, but also all dust easily falls on the fur, and it is worth washing it only in special institutions, but as you know, dry cleaning services are not always cheap.
There is another type of material for covers - this is automotive leather, which is far from real leather in terms of cost, and is close to fabric covers. Such covers look great, they are not difficult to care for, even the dirt is washed off with a damp cloth. However, this is still “skin” and it is easy to scratch it, so you need to be careful in the cabin with such covers.
What should be car seat covers.
Most importantly, pay attention to functional features covers. For example, it is very important that the covers have the necessary cuts for airbags. Thanks to this, in the event of danger or an accident, the airbags can safely deploy and protect passengers from injury or death. Second rule: Wherever you buy car covers, check to see if they have cutouts for the headrests and, if necessary, for the armrests. Otherwise, you will have to make holes manually, because. without them, the covers cannot be pulled over the seats. If you want to sit comfortably during the trip and you and your passengers are comfortable, choose covers with a soft lining, for example, made of foam rubber. Now on all models of covers for the car there are special pockets that are convenient to use. You can store magazines, a pen and notepad, albums, napkins, etc. If you choose covers, make sure that there are such pockets (they can only be on the back of the front seats). It is good if there are dense edges on the sides of the covers (for example, from automotive leather), thanks to which the covers will last longer.
