Discount car seat covers are a cheap way of protecting car seats from dirt, wear, and fading from the sunlight. Replacing a damaged or stained seat cover is much cheaper than paying to have a car seat reupholstered. A car owner may want seat covers that express personality rather than the neutral upholstery of the car.
Seat cover design has evolved from the old seat covers that consisted of thin, flimsy material with long elastic straps around the back of the seat. The modern seat covers fit snuggly over the car seats with one part covering the bottom of the seat and the other part of the seat cover fitting over the back of the seat. Car seat covers are made to fit single seats or bench seats.
The designs of seat covers may be conservative or whimsical. Car seat covers are available in a large variety of colors. Some examples of whimsical designs are tiger print, black and white cow print, and Hawaiian seat covers.
Many seat covers are water resistant and stain resistant. Seat covers are often made from a nylon-polyester blend or flocked velvet velour. The seat covers may have a smooth or quilted surface. Neoprene seat covers tend to be more expensive that seat covers made from other fabrics.
Some car seat covers are made from vinyl or acrylic fibers. Some acrylic seat covers are made to look like sheepskin, but genuine sheepskin car seat covers are also available from some retailers. Leather and imitation leather are other options.
Discount seat covers can be found on the Internet. The prices of discount seat covers vary among retailers and car seat styles. Common prices for a pair of seat covers range from fifty-nine to seventy dollars. Leather and sheepskin car seat covers, even at discount merchants, typically sell for over one hundred fifty dollars.
When shopping for discount seat covers, the person needs to know the make and model of the car. Because car seats vary among different cars, a discount car seat cover for one car may not fit a different car. Universal car seat covers are made to fit most bucket seats.
