Car seat covers are one of the most important car interior accessories that not only enhance the car decor, but provide comfort and safety as well. The car seat covers protect the seats from dirt, stains and wear and tear. There are different types of car seat covers available in various designs, patterns, colors and fabrics. Seat covers can be purchased online or from any retail store.
Types of car seat covers
Custom fit seat covers: Custom fit seat covers are the most common ones. These can be customized or tailored fit as per the buyer’s requirements. Equipments like seat belts, ergonomic controls, headrest and airbags don’t obstruct seat customization.
Semi custom seat covers: Semi-custom seat covers are cheaper than the custom fit seat covers, and suit all seats of a specific car model. However, these shouldn’t be used on vehicles with side-impact airbags.
Universal seat covers: Universal seat covers suit all types of car seats, and that’s the reason why these are widely used on most cars in India and other parts of the world. These are easy to use and install, and very affordable too.
