Leather upholstery seats not only looks spectacular, it emphasizes the status of the driver, making him more respectable. However, not everyone can afford chairs made of natural material. But what to do if you do not want to be content with a velor interior or become one of those who cover the chairs with fur? Eco-leather or faux suede (alcantara) car seat covers are a great budget alternative to expensive accessories. At the same time, they look no less stylish and impressive.
The most popular is eco-leather, which is often referred to simply as leatherette. However, this is not entirely correct.
Are faux leather and faux leather the same thing?
On the one hand, eco-leather can really be called a modern difference in leather substitute. However, there are significant differences between these materials:
- Leatherette is a fabric base with a layer of PVC (polyvinyl chloride) applied to it. In addition, it contains numerous chemical additives. Such material does not allow air to pass through and, if not properly manufactured, can exude harmful substances. Therefore, leatherette cannot be called safe for the health of the car owner.
- Eco-leather is made from 100% cotton with a layer of PU (polyurethane) applied without the addition of harmful components. This material contains a large number of so that he breathes. At the same time, eco-leather car covers are hygroscopic and hypoallergenic. The surface of the material does not require serious maintenance and does not get very hot under the influence of sunlight.
Unlike leather substitute, eco-knife is not capable of releasing caustic substances into the atmosphere, which eliminates the risk of an unpleasant chemical odor.
From this, it becomes clear that more modern material has a lot of advantages, but is it able to compete with genuine leather?
Genuine leather or eco leather
Most car owners, when choosing car covers, believe that buying the most inexpensive leather is better than eco-leather. high class for the same money. It is believed that natural material is always better. Yes it is. But, only if the car owner does not use the vehicle often or he has the opportunity for an expensive interior upholstery.
You need to understand that genuine leather is used in luxury cars, when the car is not a vehicle for movement, but rather a toy that shows the status of the owner.
Premium brands such as BMW, Volkswagen, Audi and Mercedes use premium Alcantara or German Arpatek covers. These materials are artificial, but they have much the best performance wear resistance.
In addition, you need to understand that there cannot be universal leather cases. When using this raw material, only the upholstery of the interior is possible. Accordingly, products of this type are only sewn according to individual measurements.
However, there is always a risk that the raw material will be of too low quality. If there are defects on the skin, they are very quickly hidden by methods machining. Such products quickly become unusable. But, even if the skin is well finished, it will differ in thickness, irregularities in color and texture.
If we talk about car seat covers made of eco-leather, then they are devoid of these shortcomings. Thanks to production process the material is homogeneous, soft and smooth.
The only drawback of eco-leather is that after moisture gets on it, you need to wipe the material with a dry cloth. In addition, the artificial analogue is easily torn from rivets on jeans, sharp objects. If on back seat constantly transport animals, they will certainly spoil the upholstery with sharp claws. In this case, it is worth using Alcantara covers, which are more resistant to such damage.
When choosing eco-leather, you need to pay attention to its characteristics. The quality and cost of the upholstery will depend on this.
Types of eco-leather
When choosing universal covers made of artificial material, you should pay attention to its type:
- Oregon and Valencia. Materials are produced in India or China. Made from 70% cotton, it is durable and abrasion resistant. Oregon is most often used for eco-leather, as it has an excellent quality-price ratio. There is also Oregon Antique (differs in a glossy shade) and Oregon Royal (shiny and even material). Valencia has a matte texture, which is indistinguishable from high-quality genuine leather, but it costs a little more.
- Alba. This material ranks second in popularity. His main hallmark is the ability to pass air and steam well. The material calmly withstands temperature changes, sunlight and does not wear out for a long time.
- Companion. It is the most durable material of all. This is achieved by the fact that the polyurethane film is applied to the PU foam, located on the pile fabric substrates.
- Dollaro. High-quality material with all the advantages of eco-leather. Differs in wide color scale. Choosing a universal cover for a car, the driver can choose both matte classics and brighter emerald shades.
Also pay attention to the thickness of the material. Based on this parameter, universal covers can be:
- economy class - the thickness of the material is 1 mm;
- standard - 1.2 mm;
- premium class - 1.5 mm (also has stronger seams).
On sale, you can choose covers that consist entirely of eco-leather or with leather inserts, with or without armrests and headrests.
If products of this type do not inspire confidence, or there are often animals in the car, then you can choose another budget option.
Alcantara Features
Alcantara is a special ultra microfiber made from the finest polyester fibers coated with PU. The inner layer of the material is treated with abrasive paper, due to which the material receives a fluffy pile.
Soft, velvety and shiny, Alcantara is light and breathable. At the same time, the material is durable and looks no worse than natural suede. Moreover, the artificial material does not shine, does not rub off and shows top scores for wear resistance.
In addition, it is worth highlighting other advantages of Alcantara seat covers:
- The material is almost impossible to damage with sharp objects. If a spark gets on the fabric, then there will be no ignition, and there will be no traces on the Alcantara itself.
- The fabric repels dust and dirt, so the car owner does not have to guess how to care for the covers.
- The material has excellent thermoregulation. This means that in winter the material will warm, and during the summer heat it will not “soar”.
- Thanks to the rough surface, it is comfortable to sit in the seat, the material does not creak or stick to the driver's skin. In addition, during turns and bends, the driver will not slide off the seat.
- The material is chemical resistant.
If we talk about the varieties of this material, then it is of the following types:
- Soft - close-fitting with foam pads.
- Cover - Alcantara made from textile with a backing.
- Formal is a textile backing for inserts on cases.
- Pannel - in this case, the substrate is missing. A similar type of material is used when tightening racks, dashboard and ceiling.
Healthy! Regardless of whether the car owner chooses covers made of eco-leather or Alcantara, you should give preference not to universal models, but to choose products for a specific car.
When choosing one or another material, for each motorist the question of cost arises.
Case cost
For comparison, it’s worth saying right away that genuine leather products will cost from 8,000 to 20,000 for one case. When choosing eco-leather, for one seat you can pay within 1,000 rubles. Alcantara will cost a little more, but still much cheaper than natural material.

Car seat covers can be easily attributed to the necessary accessories. After all, for a car, covers are something like clothing. With the help of them you can save, give a sophisticated look and completely change. So, let's make a rating of cases. There are several rating options here:
- By design;
- According to the material of manufacture.
Rating of covers by design popularity
First place - T-shirt covers
Here, of course, T-shirt covers are in the lead. Seat covers, quick to put on and take off. That's why they deserve such popularity. They are made from cotton jersey, so they are soft, comfortable, absorb moisture and do not electrify, besides, they have convenient pockets and big choice colors. But these models are short-lived. Of course, there are T-shirt covers made of dense automotive fabric with elastic bands, they are more durable, but do not completely cover the seats. The corners remain open, namely, they are rubbed very hard when boarding and disembarking passengers.

Second place - model cases
These covers are designed specifically for a particular car with its modifications. Often do not have a wide range of colors. They are difficult to install (it is better to use the help of professionals), but they really repeat all the forms of the seat, like a constriction. You can order them, for example, Automotive studio B&M. Prices for such covers vary between 4000 - 7500 rubles, and average 5000 rubles.
Third place - universal cases
These are ready-made kits, for simple-shaped seats, possibly folding, but often it is very difficult to fit them under right size or profile. You will have to work hard on them or even change something. Although their advantage is a large selection of colors.
And now let's continue
It is very important covers for the car, which in the first place will fit in size. It is best in this case to take good, model covers that will fit almost perfectly on your seats. Another important point consists of what material the car covers are made of, because our skin (especially in summer) is in very close contact with the material of the covers. Now we will consider the quality of cases together, because this is a very important point.
Rating of covers by material of manufacture
First place - Alcantara covers
Alcantara - artificial suede. Such covers are gentle, soft, warm at any time of the year and quite durable. Alcantara is not prone to rubbing and looks great in the cabin. The only downside is the higher price. But given the wear resistance of the covers, it will certainly pay off. These covers are not sold in any store. But you can make them to order.
Alcantara is a material from which car covers can be made.
Second place - velor covers
Slightly fleecy, pleasant to the touch, they are quite warm in winter, and do not heat up in summer. They have an acceptable price, in the universal version, however, in the model version (where the quality is much higher), the cost is from 4000 rubles. They do not burn and are easy to wash in the machine, in a delicate mode (with slight contamination). The disadvantage is the knocking down of the pile, and early wear is possible. However, when proper care last long enough.
Third place - leather and fur
Not very expensive (within 5400-6000 rubles), but they look beautiful, stylish and expensive, while it is easy to remove dirt from them with a damp cloth. Certainly, leather seats require wiping with impregnations and careful handling, because they are easy to scratch. The main disadvantage leather cover is that in winter it is. In order not to get sick, it is better not to sit on such seats without initial warming up; if necessary, it is better to cover the seat with something. Although the seats can be made in the central part of automotive velor. You can also fix this with fur covers. In winter, in the bitter cold, a fur seat cover overshadows all of the above with its warmth, whether it is artificial or real fur. The current fur covers (natural ones) are carefully dressed, so they should not leave wool on clothes. However, they will cost a lot and you need to clean them in dry cleaning. Faux fur is cheaper and you can simply shake it out of the dust yourself or, if necessary, wash and comb it. It is better to use fur capes for leather seats, approximate price (then 900 rubles / 1 piece and from 3000 rubles / set)

Fourth place - polyester cases
This fabric is smooth and pleasant to the body. It is created by chemical means and therefore it is simply erased, dries easily, does not shrink, does not stretch and does not wrinkle, in a word it is unpretentious. However, in the heat, sitting on such covers is unpleasant (especially without air conditioning), as they do not absorb moisture.
The main purposes for buying seat covers.
- Refresh the car interior if the regular seats are not cleaned, if they are burned, torn, etc.
- Keep a good appearance to sell the car at a higher price. This is the main goal for very "practical" car owners, as well as owners of cars used in taxis.
- Give the car a more solid look. It often happens that a car is bought with fabric interior, and it would be desirable leather.
Protect car seats from vandalism by children and pets. Eco-leather cases do not absorb dirt and therefore are simply easier to clean from spilled soda, ice cream, etc.
Types and materials of seat covers.
- Model - sewn for cars of a certain make and model.
- Universal - fits a wide range of vehicles with traditional seat sizes. For some cars, model covers are not sewn or they are rarely available for sale, then universal covers become uncontested.
Materials.
Car covers are most often sewn from 4 types of materials and their combinations:
- Eco-leather - artificial leather with high strength, stretchable, elastic, retaining its properties over a wide temperature range. May be different colors. The seat and back are most often perforated for better ventilation in places of contact with clothing. Outwardly similar to genuine leather.
- Jacquard - the name of the fabric comes from the inventor of the loom, Joseph Marie Jacquard. Modern jacquard is a dense smooth fabric made of threads containing artificial or natural fibers, as well as their combinations. The main advantage of jacquard is its wear resistance and elasticity, long-term color retention. Jacquard is very breathable.
- Velor is a type of fabric that has a soft pile velvety front surface. Velor fabric can be combined into natural cotton and wool, as well as artificial fibers. Pleasant to the touch, wear-resistant, retains color well, does not get very hot under the influence of the sun.
- Alcantara - the material is known as artificial suede due to its external and tactile similarity. The production of the material is patented by Alcantara SPa. Alcantara is very soft, pleasant to the touch and at the same time has a lot of advantages, such as: wear resistance, fire resistance, durability, elasticity and rich colors.
All other options are marginal due to high prices, as in the case of Nile crocodile skin :) or impracticality if the cases are made of faux fur or cotton fabrics.
The main advantages and disadvantages of materials:
A comfortable and well-groomed car interior is not a luxury at all. Rather, it is a necessity for a comfortable ride for both the driver and his passengers. In addition, the well-groomed appearance of the interior favorably emphasizes the status of the car owner, characterizing him as a solid, tidy and responsible person.
Therefore, the priority task for any driver who monitors the appearance of his car is to protect the interior elements of the cabin of his four-wheeled friend. First of all, this applies to seats, which tend to get dirty quite quickly and often.
The most efficient and in a simple way anti-pollution seats is to buy car seat covers. Properly selected covers will not only save on the repair and cleaning of car seats (hiding stubborn stains from prying eyes), but will also add style to the interior of the car.
Which covers to choose
It is very important to choose correct covers for auto. First, the covers must fit the size and width of the seats. Secondly, they must be of high quality and comfortable to use. Comfort is determined by how comfortable the car seats are to sit with such covers, as well as how they feel to the touch. This is important because when we sit in a car, our skin is in direct contact with their surface. If the covers are made of low-quality material or do not match the size of the seats, the driver and his passengers will feel discomfort and irritation during the trip.
Case types
Like cars, cases are different. There are both universal, suitable for all brands of cars, and model covers, created individually for a specific model. vehicle. If you want car covers to have a great fit, harmoniously fit into the interior of the cabin and at the same time serve long service, we recommend to pay attention to the second option.
An additional advantage of model covers is that when they are sewn, all the features of the seat shape, as well as the necessary technological slots, are taken into account. During the production of model covers, high-precision patterns are created that are tried on to the original seats. Therefore, even at the stage of their cutting, no deviations from the sample are allowed, which ultimately gives the covers an ideal repetition of the shape of the seats.
Functional features of universal cases
If you have opted for universal cases for a car, it is very important that the covers you choose have the necessary cuts that are designed for airbags. Thanks to these cuts, in the event of an accident, either hard braking, the airbags will unhinderedly open, which will protect the driver and passengers from possible injuries. It is also important that car covers have special cuts for the headrests and, if necessary, for the armrests. If you do not pay attention to this nuance, you will have to make holes yourself, because without these cuts, the covers cannot be pulled over car seats.
In order for the driver and passengers to feel comfortable during the trip, preference should be given to covers with a soft lining, made, for example, of foam rubber. Also check if there are thick edges (for example, made of leather) on the sides of the covers, thanks to which the covers will last much longer. And do not forget that the threads of the covers must be treated with a special impregnation that will prevent contamination of the seams.
Case design
In the choice of covers also important issue is the selection of the appropriate design. You should know that only manufacturers of high-quality model covers can take into account the "individuality" of each model of the vehicle, choose the appropriate color range of threads and textures that will harmoniously combine with each other. Therefore, if you value quality highly and want your car to look stylish, purchase covers only from professional manufacturers. In this case, it will not be superfluous to clarify whether the covers you purchase were designed specifically for the model of your car.
Case materials
Today there is huge selection materials for car covers. However, making a choice in this variety, one should give preference to wear-resistant materials, which are also well cleaned. For tailoring quality covers only certified automotive fabrics (tapestry, eco-leather, velor) are used. These materials are durable and practical, in addition, they are absolutely harmless to human health.
As a rule, in high-quality car covers there is an additional layer made of foam rubber. This layer is designed not only for a comfortable seat in the car, but also to absorb moisture, as well as to ensure free air circulation.
So, let's look at the characteristics of materials for cases on the market today.
Velours
This material for covers is considered one of the most popular. Velor covers compare favorably with their low cost, visual appeal and comfort in use. Velor is not only pleasant to the touch, its fleecy surface prevents slipping, which allows you to feel comfortable while riding. In addition, velor covers do not heat up from the sun, and in winter they do not get supercooled. The only thing you should pay attention to is that velor covers require regular and relatively delicate washing.
Tapestry
This material is one of the expensive, but very high quality fabrics. Tapestry covers every year are becoming more and more in demand among those car owners who want to give the interior of their car interior attractiveness and even luxury. This material is not only noble, it is very comfortable to use. It is pleasant to sit on it, because the tapestry is velvety and soft. However, he is somewhat capricious in leaving. Tapestry covers should be vacuumed regularly or cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. In case of serious contamination, the covers must be washed, preferably with warm, not hot water.
eco-leather
Another high-quality material for covers is recognized as environmentally friendly automotive leather, which is much cheaper than real leather, which makes it, along with other advantages, very popular in the eyes of buyers. Eco-leather is a high-quality substitute for natural leather. It consists of artificial materials based on cellulose, cotton, synthetic polymers and genuine leather. It is quite difficult to distinguish genuine leather from eco-leather. It is made by applying a polyurethane film to a cotton base, which gives the covers extra softness and elasticity. In addition, covers made from this material look great and are easy to care for. To clean the dirt from their surface, just use a damp cloth.
Alcantara
This material is faux suede. Alcantara covers are very soft, warm, durable and very comfortable to use. They look great in the interior of any car. However, this material has a rather high price, although its strength and durability over time pay off the money spent.
fabric covers
The choice of fabric covers is very diverse. Their advantage is affordability and ease of maintenance. They are easy to clean and last a long time. However, fabric covers use a material that does not absorb moisture. Therefore, if your car does not have an air conditioning system, staying in the cabin in the summer will not be very comfortable.
Vinyl
Another popular type of fabric for covers is vinyl. Such covers have a large assortment and quite acceptable prices. However, vinyl covers do not have free air circulation, which makes them uncomfortable to use both in hot and cold weather. At the same time, the advantage of vinyl is that, along with air, it does not allow liquid to pass through. Therefore, vinyl covers stay clean much longer than covers made of any other material.
Fur
This type of material is ideal for covers in winter period time, because it does not cool down, it is easy to warm up, soft and pleasant to the touch. However, when purchasing fur cases, pay attention to their quality so that in the future their fur does not remain on your clothes and other things. I would also like to draw your attention to the fact that fur covers are not durable. Plus, they get dirty pretty quickly.
Remember: buying covers for your vehicle, you thereby not only improve the appearance of its interior, but also prevent premature aging your car.
Good luck choosing covers!
Every car enthusiast dreams of making his car truly individual, unique and distinguishing it from the "gray" mass of other vehicles. In this case, the main attention is almost always paid. But this is not enough. To truly change the car, to give it originality and comfort, it is difficult to do without changes in the cabin.
Modern car covers can give the car originality and originality.
From the interior, you can immediately tell how the driver treats his “swallow”, how thrifty and careful the owner is. So, if the former comfort in the cabin is no longer there, and its appearance is significantly “shabby”, then it's time to buy new car covers.
Appointment of car covers
There is an opinion that covers are necessary only for protection. But it's not. They perform a number of other useful and very important tasks:
- protect the surface of the front and rear seats from the appearance of new dirt and damage. In this regard, car covers made of eco-leather and other materials have shown themselves well;
- return a sense of novelty to the interior, give additional comfort and make interior decoration much richer;
- make the car truly chic inside;
- allow you to transform the interior due to the usual change colors. If desired and financially possible, you can change the interior decoration at least every month.
The main types of car covers
There are several main types of covers to choose from, each of which has its own characteristics:
1. Universal car covers
The main advantage of such products lies precisely in their versatility. You do not need to worry that, for example, new eco-leather car covers will not fit in size and will have to be returned. The manufacturer guarantees that its product can be used for many makes and models of cars (usually they are all listed on the packaging). It is believed that such car covers have poor quality. This is a false stereotype. fit the seat surface well and have excellent functionality. As for the technical holes, which are individual for many models, there may be some discrepancies.
The main drawback is a very "weak" range of products. Not all popular fabrics are used in the production, and the color scheme is very limited. But these disadvantages are compensated, which just attracts motorists.
2. Model (original) car covers
Model covers are made exclusively to order and under specific model vehicle. They provide all the pockets and holes that are in the "native" skin. The shapes and features of the headrests and armrests - everything is taken into account to the millimeter. The tailoring of the product is carried out according to unique technologies, which ensures a perfect fit and full fit of the seats. After pulling on the covers, it may seem that the seat is completely factory trimmed.
Video: Car covers
But such covers have a drawback - they are produced for a limited number of models (usually the most popular). If your car does not belong to this category, then there may be problems with the search. We must not forget about one more nuance. Even the same models different years issue often have differences in the size and shape of the chair. In this case, even model car covers made of eco-leather or other material may not be suitable.
If model variant covers does not fit or there are difficulties with choosing a product for your car, you can order individual tailoring. In this case, the master is taken to work only after taking measurements. Therefore, to the silhouette of the structure is guaranteed.
The main advantage of such covers is the ability to fulfill all the whims of the customer regarding color, shape, the presence of technological pockets, and so on. Moreover, if desired, it can be provided modern system fasteners, back massager, heating and other useful options.
In the manufacture of custom-made car covers, there are never problems with the assortment. The motorist himself chooses the type of fabric, patterns, color and other nuances (all this is agreed before the start of tailoring). The main thing is that the master takes into account design features salon. For example, if the car has airbags, then special openings should be provided in the covers.
3. Covers in the form of T-shirts
Such T-shirt covers are good for their versatility, high speed taking off and putting on. The most demanded material for production is cotton jersey. It's easy to explain. This fabric is very comfortable, absorbs water well, is pleasant to the touch and does not electrify at all. In addition, T-shirt covers are always presented in a wide range, have a wide palette of colors and have very convenient pockets.
The main disadvantage of such car covers is that the corners remain open and therefore quickly overwritten.
The main disadvantage of "t-shirts" is often referred to as fragility. But there is a way out. You can buy covers made of denser fabric and special elastic bands. In this case, the service life increases, but the corners of the seats wear out (in this case they are not covered with a cloth).
Fabrics for car covers
When choosing, try to pay attention to the fabric from which the car cover is made. Not only the appearance of the interior, but also the durability of the product depends on this aspect. So, there are several options:
1. Car covers made of eco-leather
Eco-leather, which has a rich appearance, is affordable and reliable in operation, is becoming increasingly popular among the materials for covers. Let's talk about it in more detail.
Eco-leather car covers look pretty solid
Features of manufacturing auto covers from eco-leather
The production of ecological leather is quite simple. As a basis, an ordinary dense fabric is used, on which a special one is applied. The result is an environmentally friendly material that is distinguished by its elasticity and abrasion resistance. A big plus of eco-leather is that it has many micropores and, therefore, "breathes" (this property is very important in the summer heat).
In turn, the material made of genuine leather is a processed animal skin. It is easy to identify a case made of genuine leather - it always has scars and some irregularities. The manufacturing process takes place in several stages. The skin removed from the animal is soaked to completely remove excess elements (salts, dirt and fats). After that, everything superfluous is removed from the surface - the epidermis and hairline. In conclusion, tanning, painting and processing with special chemical compounds are carried out.
Characteristic
Often, motorists cannot distinguish eco-leather cases from real leather. This is not surprising, because outwardly the products are really similar (except that small flaws are visible on natural leather). What attracts buyers in eco-leather? Most often it is affordable price, wear resistance, perfect resemblance to genuine leather, insensitivity to temperature changes. Eco-leather is perfectly glued and sewn, so it can be used to make covers of any, even the most intricate shape. But there is also a downside - mechanical damage the fabric-substrate will be visible and, if damaged, eco-leather covers are difficult to restore.
Advantages
The advantages of eco-leather car covers include:
- ecological cleanliness. The material has unique hypoallergenic qualities. It is lighter than genuine leather, has no odors and breathes well;
- the possibility of saving. leather interior it costs 30-40 thousand rubles more, so the car enthusiast has a chance to save his capital and realize his dream;
- perfect look. After installing such covers, the interior becomes richer and more solid. This is the case when you can be proud of your car and boldly show it to friends;
- ease of maintenance and reliability in operation. Eco-leather is easy to clean, it has a unique resistance to frost and moisture, is able to withstand both critical low temperatures (up to -35°C) and extreme high temperatures. At the same time, the material in the entire range remains soft and warm (which is especially important in winter).
Features of care
As we have already mentioned, eco-leather. All that is needed in case of contamination is to wipe the cover with a damp cloth, and then wipe it dry. If the dirt does not lend itself, you can drop a little ammonia on a rag. If desired, you can buy car shop special compositions for cleaning leather surfaces. But keep in mind that eco-leather does not like high-temperature processing and the use of bleaching compounds containing chlorine.
Thus, covers made of ecological leather are great option for people who want to get a truly rich salon and save money.
2. Velor fabrics
The advantage of car covers made of velor is affordability and high quality. This material is able to stay warm even in hard frost, and in the summer, on the contrary, do not succumb to the action elevated temperatures. Modern velor can vary in pile length and density. Often, special multi-layer fabrics are used for the manufacture of auto covers. At the same time, on the outside - velor, the middle layer - foam rubber, and the bottom - a special lining.
Velor covers are produced both in model and universal versions. Naturally, in the first case, the product will cost more (from 4-5 thousand rubles).
Velor is also easy to care for - it can be washed in an automatic machine (preferably in a delicate mode). As for the shortcomings, it is one - velor covers wear out very quickly.
3. Car covers made of fur and leather
Leather covers give the interior richness and style. They always look great and are easy to care for. To remove dirt, just wipe the surface with a damp cloth. In order to preserve the appearance of the product for as long as possible, it is advisable to impregnate the skin special formulations(can be found in the store). The downside of leather is that it scratches easily and gets very cold in cold weather. Sit on such covers sub-zero temperature is a real test.
Pretty original solution.
But the problem with cooling can be solved if you buy a fur cover. For the manufacture of the latter, a variety of fur (natural or artificial) can be used. Products made of natural fur give real comfort in the cabin and do not leave marks on clothes. But their minus is the high price and the complexity of cleaning. The artificial version is more affordable and much easier to clean - washing and gentle combing is enough.
4. Polyester cases
The advantage of the material is that it is very pleasant to the touch and has perfect smoothness. Polyester is washable and you don't have to worry about shrinking after drying. In addition, it is reliable and easy to maintain. The only disadvantage of such covers is that they do not "breathe" and do not absorb moisture at all. In the heat, the back and bottom of the seat have to be constantly wiped.
5. Fabric covers
Combined combination of leather and jacquard.
Often, materials such as jacquard or tapestry are used for the production of covers. Plush is also very popular. But their main disadvantage is rapid wear. Sometimes motorists buy leatherette covers, which, according to appearance almost indistinguishable from real leather.
Car covers for ladies
This is what all women's car covers look like
Recently, women's car covers have become increasingly popular. In principle, the technology of their production is similar. The main difference is the presence of original colors and patterns.
Good luck with your choice!
