Best car covers in 2021

The caring motorist knows how important it is to protect and extend the life of the car seats, even if they are not used as often. It is fair to say that the main burden falls on the driver and front passenger seats. Most often, it is 2 people who drive the car. The back sofa can also be actively worn out. Basically, if the car is used for a large family, works in a taxi service or in another area where you have to regularly carry more than 1 passenger.

Changing the seats every few years is not an option. It is much more profitable, easier and more rational to use special covers.

The only question is which covers will be better for the car and how to choose the right one for your car. We will try to answer these questions.

Varieties of covers

To begin with, how to choose car covers, based on their type and variety. The first thing to look out for is the correct version of the product for cars. It is difficult to say unequivocally how to choose the right covers for your car seats, if you do not know what goals and objectives the car owner pursues.

All car seat covers can be divided into 2 large categories.

• Universal covers. Applicable to all brands and models of cars. Often they may not have the most convenient mounts for installation. The prices are affordable, but not the best quality follows from this.
• Model covers. They follow the lines and curves of the chairs of specific brands and models of cars. Such covers can be used to replace a more expensive and complex constriction. It is based on high quality materials.

There is also another classification. Here, the shapes and appearance of products are taken into account.

• Headrest covers. Simple and inexpensive covers that stretch over the headrests. Somewhat reminiscent of pillow cases;
• Capes. Only partially cover the seats. The capes are universal. Affordable. Basically, capes are used for the driver's seat, so that you can sit comfortably in dirty clothes, without fear of staining the upholstery;
• T-shirts. As in the case of capes, they cannot completely cover the surface of the chairs. But T-shirts look more solid. They are pulled neatly, as if enveloping the original chairs. Also suitable for the back sofa. They differ in density, but have no filler. They can be easily removed and thrown into the washing machine.
• Full-size covers. This is objectively the best option, but also the most expensive for the price. Produced for specific vehicles. Cover the seats completely. You can choose the kit you want in color, shape, style and size.

Please note that in cars where airbags are provided in the seats, covers must be selected with a mandatory cut in this area, or the tension should not be too strong so as not to interfere with the airbag firing.

The choice of covers by material

Speaking of the best car seat covers, it is necessary to separately determine which material will be better in terms of making car covers. There are several options here that are most commonly used in machines. It is among them that a choice must be made. At the same time, the driver must decide for himself which fabric will be the best in order to make a set of suitable car covers.

• Velours. Not a bad choice of inexpensive car seat covers. The material is pleasant to the touch. It does not get very hot in the sun. But it needs to be washed quite often, since the coating is prone to contamination.
• Leather. Speaking about which fabric or material will be better for sewing model car covers, many are inclined in favor of leather. But this is not the best solution if there are often animals, children or different types of cargo in the car. The leather is strong, but poorly resists minor mechanical damage. You cannot buy inexpensive leather-based cases, as their quality will be low.
• Eco leather. Drivers often argue about which seat covers are better, comparing options from eco-leather and from Alcantara. Eco-leather is a cheaper analogue for natural leather. Outwardly, they practically do not differ. But such covers are easier to clean, do not absorb moisture, better withstand stress. Objectively, from the point of view of car covers, eco-leather is better than leather.
• Alcantara. In fact, it is faux suede. A very popular material for covers. Differs in strength, wear resistance. Withstands frost well, and does not heat up in summer. Cleaning Alcantara can be done by hand using soft brushes and cotton rags. Doesn't get dirty quickly.
• Fur. Fur covers are natural and artificial. Mouton, sheepskin and mink are in priority. The fur is easy to clean and clean. Serves for a long time. It does not get warm due to the air gap in the seat covers. But it accumulates a lot of dust. Washing in water is not recommended. Not the best solution from the point of view of practicality.
• Polyester. The cover is smooth and pleasant to the touch. Easy to clean. Not afraid of stretching and deformation. Behaves well in the heat. But the material is hygroscopic, and therefore it is better not to use such covers in cars without air conditioning.
• Jacquard. Dense material that does not require careful maintenance. Almost does not deform. Covers can be washed many times without losing the look. Has refractory properties. A good option if it is a working machine, you often have to carry passengers and goods.

Based on your requirements, wishes, features of operation, you can choose the most suitable material for the cover in the car. But at the same time, it is impossible to say that any one material is positioned as the best and for car covers it is necessary to use it exclusively.
