Auto Seat Cover Ratings

The right seat cover can protect your car seats from cracking, staining, bad odors, liquid spills, sun damage, pet hair and body fluids like sweat. It can also add comfort for passengers and boost the resale value of your vehicle. However, not all seat covers are created equal. You need to consider how you use your car, the purpose of your cover (added comfort or protection), and the cost and quality of the material.

Many auto seat cover materials are available, from basic cloth to neoprene and leather. A good quality cover will have a tight fit and secure the seat with a strap across the bottom of the seat cushion and plastic hooks at the back of the cover. It should also be easy to install and remove. Some covers can be machine washed, which is important if they get soiled or sweaty after workouts at the gym or road trips with your pets in tow.

Depending on your needs, you might choose an artificial leather or nylon seat cover to boost the appearance of your vehicle interior. These covers are lightweight and durable, but not as soft as neoprene or genuine leather. Some may be more difficult to install and could shift or bunch under your seat cushions.

Wet Okole neoprene covers are custom-made for your vehicle for a snug fit and an attractive, comfortable feel. The company offers seat covers for the front and rear of your vehicle, as well as a set for the headrests. The cover includes a built-in headrest pillow and has sideless coverage for easier access to your seat controls, armrests and head rest. The Wet Okole covers are less expensive than a top-rated leather option and will still provide a great level of protection.

The BDK Advanced Performance seat covers are made from a breathable material that allows air to circulate and help keep you cool in the summer. They have a universal fit and come in black, gray or charcoal grey. Some owners say the fabric can smell like chemicals upon opening, but this is a minor complaint and goes away with time. The cover also features a velcro opening for the back buckle and is easy to install and remove. These covers have more than 2,300 five-star reviews on Amazon, and they are backed by the company’s 30-day money back guarantee. You can also buy a neoprene set that includes covers for the rear seats, as long as the bottom cushion measures less than 57 inches.
