Whoever said that one size fits all was clearly not talking about seat covers. Just like clothes, seat covers come in a variety of sizes to accommodate different body types… err, car seats.
But how do you know what size seat covers will fit your car? Not to worry, we’re here to help!
In this blog post, we’ll give you some tips on how to measure your seats and choose the right size seat covers for your car.
The first step in finding the right size seat cover is to take precise measurements of your seats. To do this, you’ll need a tape measure and a helper (a friend or family member).
Have your helper hold one end of the tape measure at the top of the seat back, and stretch it down to the bottom of the seat cushion. Make sure the tape measure is taut, but don’t pull too hard or you might distort the measurements. Once you have the measurement, write it down.
Next, measure the width of the seat at its widest point. Again, make sure the tape measure is taut but not too tight. Once you have that measurement, write it down.
Last, measure the depth of the seat from front to back. Once you have that measurement, write it down.
Now that you have all three measurements, you can start shopping for seat covers!
Now that you know what size seat covers you need, it’s time to start thinking about fabric. Different fabrics have different levels of stretchiness, so it’s important to keep that in mind when choosing a size.
For example, if you want snug-fitting seat covers made of a Stretchy fabric like spandex or lycra, you might want to choose a size that’s slightly smaller than your actual measurements.
On the other hand, if you want looser-fitting seat covers made of a non-stretchy fabric like leather or vinyl, you might want to choose a size that’s slightly larger than your actual measurements.
Keep in mind that loose-fitting seat covers may not stay in place as well during turns and other sudden movements. Decide what look and feel you want for your seat covers before making a final decision on size.
With these tips in mind, finding the right size seat cover for your car should be a breeze!
Just remember to take accurate measurements of your seats, choose a fabric with the right amount of stretchiness, and decide how snug or loose you want your seat covers to fit before making a final decision on size. Happy shopping!
