Seat Covers Research Guide

Why Should I Buy A Set Of Seat Covers?
While you are sitting comfortably in your car, you can’t even imagine the tremendous amount of abuse your car seats might be going through. Dirty clothes, wet swimsuits, spilt drinks, kids snacking in the backseat, slobbering pets, seat friction and harsh sunlight all have the potential to ruin and wear out your great looking seats. And if something terrible has befallen your interior, a complete reupholster will cost you dearly.
No need to worry or be embarrassed about the ripped, tattered and unkempt upholstery. With the right set of seat covers, you'll be able to:

• Protect your car seats from accidents
• Personalize your interior to suit your tastes and lifestyle
• Successfully hide existing damage rather than having to reupholster your seats

Seat Cover Proactive Protection Reference
There are a few areas in your car that have to face a lot of abuse. Your carpets are constantly being trampled by dirty shoes, your steering wheel is being throttled non-stop by oily hands but your seats are the favorite target of an onslaught of abuses. Just dress your seats with a pair of form-fitting, protective seat covers and they’ll be safe.
Your car seats face a number of perils, including:

UV Damage
We all know too much sun exposure is not healthy for our skin, in the same way it is harmful for our upholstery too. Leather is especially susceptible to sun damage because UV radiation dries out the natural oils in the leather. Without these oils keeping things moist, the leather eventually starts to crack. Cloth upholstery is also in danger. Direct sunlight on your fabrics has a bleaching effect. Your black seats will eventually start looking gray or ashen. Since it is not always possible to park in the shade, you can give yourself year-round protection with a great set of seat covers.

Moisture
Whether you're driving home from an outing at the local pool, a kayaking trip or an endless summer's day of surfing, the moisture in your clothing can lead to serious problems for your upholstery. Water is leather's worst enemy. Cloth seating is also prone to damage from moisture. But with our seat covers you don’t need to have any kind of fear. Our seat covers come in a wide selection of materials with varying degrees of water resistance to protect your upholstery.

Friction
You of course don’t even think once while getting in and out of your vehicle. But this seemingly harmless operation actually puts a lot of stress on your car seats. Like sandpaper on a jagged block of wood, the texture of your clothing grates against the texture of the upholstery (leather and cloth alike). This constant friction between your body and your seat steadily grinds away at your upholstery. As time passes, the strength of the leather or fabric starts to wane, and it eventually start becoming threadbare, torn and split. Of course, you can avoid this pitiful fate with a quality set of seat covers.

Kids and Pets
Kids can cause serious damage to your car seats. Managing and cleaning away a mess at home is easy, but what if the mess occurs on your car seats! Kids will eat in the car and they will clean their greasy, messy fingers on your car seats. However hard you scold them, you can’t be always there to stop them. In the same way, your furry little kitten or your darling pooch can cause accidents to the car seats. Not only does slobber leave white-bordered saliva stains; hair clings to everything and is a nightmare to remove. Plus, their sharp little claws can rip, tear and gouge your upholstery, especially leather. So the best solution is to get a good looking, easy to clean seat cover that will protect the seats from your kids and pets.

A Guide to Covering Your Damaged Seats
Sometimes bad things happen to good upholstery. If the interior of your vehicle has suffered some cruel twist of fate (a leaky pen left lying in the backseat, or a torn seam that's threatening to unravel completely), you have the ability to rejuvenate your vehicle's seats without having to go through the hassle of a complete reupholster job. All you need to do is slide a set of seat covers. No need to worry anymore, just get great looking seat covers that will give a perfect fit and even rival your original upholstery.

There are three different fitting seat covers, a custom fit, semi-custom fit and universal fit. Let's take a closer look at the benefits you get with each type.

Custom Fit Seat Covers
Just like a tailor-made suit, a custom fit seat cover is designed for a precise fit for your seats. It is cut and stitched to fit the unique shapes and contours of your particular car seats. Everything is taken into consideration, and these made-to-measure seat covers are as good as the original upholstery. Moreover, custom-fit seat covers also provide access to your seat's side-impact airbags, so you'll be just as secure as before, only with better looking and better protected upholstery.

Semi-Custom Fit Seat Covers
An off-the-rack suit fits well enough, and also provides an economical alternative to the tailored suit. They are stitched together following patterns that will work with your vehicle's seats as well as with any other similarly sized seats in other cars, trucks and SUVs. The semi-custom seat covers deliver fantastic protection against the whole gamut of seating hazards. But they do not provide any access for lumbar controls, and they should not be used if you have side-impact airbags on your vehicle.

Universal Seat Covers
Like the name implies, universal seat covers fit any high-back and low-back bucket seat, regardless of your year, make or model. Universal seat covers are perfect as short time solutions. You can install them in seconds. But like the semi-custom seat covers, the universal seat covers should not be used on seats with side-impact airbags.

Tips on Making over Your Interior
Your vehicle is not just a mode of transportation—it is an extension of your own unique identity. The right set of seat covers is an excellent way to customize your interior. And, with all the different colors, patterns and materials at your disposal, you have an almost limitless array of ways to customize your car seats. Here are the basics:
