Seat covers for cars can protect your interior against spills, stains, and dirt while also adding a splash of color or a bit of luxury. They’re available in fabric or waterproof materials like neoprene, leather and faux-leather, or synthetic blends. The most durable materials—like PU leather or CORDURA—will generally cost more but will last longer than cheaper alternatives.
Other factors to consider when picking a seat cover include how much you’re willing to spend and your commitment to upkeep. For example, a poly blend is a good choice for busy families because it can be thrown in the washer. But it may wear down quicker than a more rugged material, such as leather or canvas, that could withstand a dog and the occasional outdoor sporting gear.
High-Quality Car Seat Covers to Protect Your Interior
Another point to consider is how much you want to change the look of your car, as some covers are designed for specific types of vehicles. For example, a universal fit cover like this KingPhenix set fits most cars and gets excellent reviews for its comfort. Its cushiony neoprene fabric conforms to the shape of the seats and its bottom loops keep it in place, unlike elastic or drawstrings, which can slide around or bunch up. They’re also machine washable and have a sideless design that doesn’t interfere with seat belts or airbags. However, it won’t provide the same level of protection as covers that are designed for a particular type of vehicle.
