What Makes Seat Covers Essential for Protection in Cars, Trucks and SUVs?

Before we find the best fit for your vehicle, let's look at a few reasons why seat covers are important. 

Protection: Keep your original seats protected!

Although we all hope to never spill, it still happens no matter how careful we are. Whether it is coffee, soda or even just water - spills can create irreversible damage. Seat covers protect against spills, dirt and beyond.

We have uniquely designed our custom car seat covers to protect your seats in any situation. Our covers ensure that your upholstery stays clean, dry and preserves the original fabric. With Seat Covers Unlimited you won’t have to worry about staining your seats! Protect against dirt and spills with seat covers designed for your vehicle.

Preservation: Preserve your original upholstery

No matter the Make or Model, truck and car seats are prone to fading, cracking and can wear over time. Exposure to the elements like friction, spills, daily use, or sunlight can cause damage.

Our custom car seat covers act as a barrier to prevent any direct damage to the vehicle seat. While also prolonging the lifespan of the original seats. The sooner custom car seat covers are purchased, the better you will be protected.

Comfort: Enhance the Comfort of Your Seats

One thing that separates us from the rest is our attention to detail and a quality finished product. Some competitors still do not know that adding foam to the back of the seat cover can make the final product look better. While others cut corners, SCU ensures that every fabric has a foam backing to improve the look and comfort of the seats. 

Some covers like Sheepskin can also regulate temperature to keep your seats cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. Adding seat covers before any ride, long or short, will make the trip more comfortable.

Aesthetics: Customize Your Interior

Car seat covers at Seat Covers Unlimited are available in a large variety of materials, designs, and colors. Allowing you to fully customize the look of your seats in the interior of your vehicle.

We have the largest range of fabrics and colors available in the industry, some competitors pick one fabric and try to be masters of that one, but at Seat Covers Unlimited we ask “why stop at one?”.  

We have a wide selection of quality fabrics to choose from. You can find luxurious leatherette and sheepskin. We also offer reliable fabrics like canvas, tweed, cloth upholstery, and saddle blanket. For fun and sporty options, we have neoprene, camouflage, Hawaiian prints, and animal prints, just to name a few.

If you have a brand new car, protect your seats and pick from a variety of options to match the look you are going for. If you have an older vehicle you can transform outdated or worn-out interior into a new, fresh and stylish look! Our seat covers are also tailor made to match your vehicle's exact year, make and model. 

Maintenance: Easy to Maintain

Need to clean your seats because of a spill or dirt? To make maintenance easy, for most fabrics you can keep the seat covers installed on the seat to clean. For example, our Leatherette and Neo-Sport seat covers are waterproof and you can just wipe up most spills, dirt or mess! Others just remove the covers and put in the washing machine, making sure to always let them air dry after being washed.

This will not only help to protect your seats, but can save time and effort, especially for people with active lifestyles and families.

Now that we know why seat covers are essential, let’s dive into the Top 10 Best Car Seat Covers for Ultimate Protection. Each of these available options have excellent comfort, durability and style. 

1. Custom Fit Seat Covers from Seat Covers Unlimited

The first thing to know about car seat covers is that they come in two main options: Universal Fit or Custom Fit. We suggest you identify this when purchasing a seat cover.

Although the price of a universal fit seat cover may look appealing these do not fit your vehicle's exact make, model and year. Custom-fit car seat covers are uniquely designed and built for your vehicle. They are tailor made to fit as if they came with your car. While universal car seat covers are cheaper, you will need to buy them again many times during your vehicle's life. With off the shelf universals you’ll soon learn “buy nice or buy twice”.

Since custom-fit is the way to go, we have the largest inventory specifically designed for your vehicle. Our custom-fit seat covers are designed for the YEAR, MAKE MODEL and SUBMODEL of your vehicle. They are made to fit the unique shape of your vehicle’s seats. They have a 3D design that ensures a snug fit.

What to know:

Material Options: Leatherette, Neo-Sport, Canvas, Camouflage, Sheepskin, Velour and more

Pros: High-quality materials, durable and tailored fit for your specific vehicle

Cons: Higher price point because of high-quality material and the tailor-fit

Best for: Those who want the perfect fit for their vehicle seats and ultimate protection

Leatherette seat covers are not only stylish but provide great protection against dirt, spills and sunlight. They are waterproof and easy to clean. Spills do not get through, and dirt can be wiped off without removing the seat covers. Ensure your seats stay pristine while still looking sleek and stylish for years. 

Now, you can choose a new custom design. Select from quilted hexagon or quilted diamond patterns to add style to your vehicle. You’ll soon hear all your friends say "That's a seat cover!?”

Material: Leatherette

4. Canvas Custom Car Seat Covers

If DURABILITY is your number one priority, then Canvas seat covers are the #1 CHOICE for you! Canvas is a tough and trustworthy material used in a lot of other industries like tactical bags, suitcases and camping backpacks.  

This fabric is known in our industry for being the toughest. It is the top choice for our friends with truck fleets. This includes those in construction, pest control, landscaping, and other types of fleets.  

The material is water resistant. It has the best wear resistance in Seat Covers Unlimited’s collection of high-quality fabrics.

Material: Canvas

Pros: Plush and soft, easy to clean, comfort and style

Cons: Even with our well-made patterns, the tough fabric does not fit seats perfectly. This can leave small wrinkles in some areas. It also lacks the soft comfort that other fabrics have.

Best for: People looking for protection from heavy wear and tear like construction companies or pet owners.

5. Camouflage Seat Covers

6. Upholstery Grade Cloth Seat Covers - Dorchester, Scottsdale, Velour, Madrid

In the Arizona sun, some people avoid the original leather seats. Instead, they choose our strong cloth fabrics.

Dorchester and Scottsdale are the top two upholstery cloth fabrics. Dorchester is a simple plain color while Scottsdale has a ribbed checkered style to it. Both provide 5-10 years of coverage on most vehicles' seats.  

We’ve even seen returning customers with 12-13 years of drive time and no homes wore through those customers' seats. If you want a very heavy duty fabric like Canvas but would like something more comfortable, Dorchester or Scottsdale are the best picks for you.  

The runner-ups in this category are Madrid (striped) and Velour (plain). These are good options, just like any seat cover fabric from Seat Covers Unlimited. However, they do not have the same reputation for lasting as long.

Material: Various material options available (Dorchester, Scottsdale, Velour, Madrid)

Pros: Full coverage to ensure maximum protection, stylish and durable

Cons: Repels most spills but untreated large spills could eventually make contact with original upholstery

Best for: From work trucks to minivans, anyone that wants durability that is soft to the touch.

7. Woven Fabrics - Saddleblanket Tweed and Aztec

They’re classic for a reason! In the 1980s to early 1990s, there was one major seat cover fabric that was king: Saddleblanket! This work horse of a product hit the scene and can still be seen in those classic trucks today. Our company began by offering great saddleblanket covers for popular pickup trucks like Ford, Chevy and many more.

We hold a special place in our hearts for this classic saddleblanket design. We have given it a new modern look. We also added other great woven fabrics that have a similar look and feel.

Aztec and Tweed are built in a similar way. However, they offer a unique look. This lets you customize your vehicle's interior just how you want.
