How to Choose a Car Cushion Cover ?

When you have a car, this is one of your most precious possessions, so it is a good idea to always have small extras in order to protect your investment for a long time. And one of the things that we suggest is that you protect the seats from the natural wear and tear of use and movement. In the following, I will share some tips with you.

Size

The first step is to be clear what car cushion covers we have to buy. There are universal products, but they may not fit your car or be as perfect as the ones that are tailor-made for each car.

Please note: The manufacturers of car cushion cover always indicate on the product packaging for which makes and models of car are suitable. But there may be small differences in the dimensions of either seat. Therefore, it is best to buy a case that is suitable for the fewest possible number of models.

When you put the seat covers in your car, open the wrap carefully, without breaking it, and remove and place the covers with the same touch. Thus, once you put it on your car, you realize that they do not fit perfectly or that they present some inconvenience, you can return them.

There are also synthetic fabrics which imitates the upholstery. The leather ones are very elegant and durable, but they are more expensive and usually can not be washed at home. Although there are models of polyurethane that mimic the appearance and feel of the skin. A very interesting option are the denim covers: their price is not high, and they can be washed perfectly and are resistant as few.

The covers allow us to personalize the look of our car. There are very attractive cases, with sports designs that make a utility look like a racing car. But keep in mind that you are going to see them every day, and if your tastes are generally simple, you will be tire of some too flashy covers.

Other factors

In addition to the fabric, design and size, there are other aspects that, without being decisive, can help you choose the seat cover that is right for you.

Keep in mind: Sooner or later you will have to wash the covers , either in the washing machine at home or in a dry cleaner. Therefore , try to choose a model that allows to put and remove the covers quickly and easily. For example, the ones that are fitted with zippers, with brackets are OK.
