Sometimes the thing that makes your truck or car isn’t the features that come with it, but all the features you invest in after the fact. One of the less talked-about accessories, but no less important, is seat covers. They’re relatively inexpensive and can offer you a number of great benefits. Lucky for you, we’ve got some great options we can recommend, so check out everything you need to know about seat covers and let us here at Truck Defender Bumpers know if you need a little help. We’ve got the information you need and can ship the accessories we sell anywhere in North America.

Protection

First and foremost, seat covers can offer you an extra layer of protection from wear and tear and the elements. If you own a car long enough and use it often enough, the upholstery will naturally start to fade and may even collect some rips and stains along the way. Plus, if you have pets, the amount of animal hair that starts to accumulate can be overwhelming. Trying to repair the original upholstery can be difficult and expensive at times. 

If you opt for seat covers, this may not be the case. It’s not nearly as expensive to clean, care for, and replace them, not to mention it can be easier to clean them. Just remove them and then follow all care instructions supplied by the seat cover manufacturer. 

Hiding Spills

On the opposite end of the spectrum, you might find that your vehicle’s upholstery is already looking a little worse for wear. Maybe there are some rips and some stains that make driving around less than ideal. Instead of spending the time and money to repair them, many people choose to cover the issue. Of course, you’ll still want to make sure this is sanitary and you won’t be trapping any fresh spills, but seat covers can reinvigorate your vehicle’s aesthetic while also slowing down the progress of the issues you’re currently facing.

Aesthetic

Speaking of your vehicle’s aesthetic, sometimes you just want to do away with the standard seat look. Seat covers can allow you to explore a more colorful, sleek, or tough look. Even a minor change can make driving around feel more natural and comfortable. You may not realize how much comfort you draw from being surrounded by things you like until you’ve upgraded your upholstery’s look.

What to Know Before You Buy

Buying seat covers isn’t quite as easy as choosing your favorite colors. There are some additional concerns you’ll need to keep in mind as you’re looking around.

Size

Of course, the seat cover needs to fit your actual seat and not all seats are created equal. You can try a one-size-fits-all option, but don’t hold your breath. Getting a custom cover can make for a better fit and give you the look you’re actually going for.

Material

The material the cover is made out of also matters. Some materials, like neoprene, are more durable than others, and if you’re in and out of your car a lot, you might want to look into waterproof options.
