Custom Seat Covers Vs. Universal Seat Covers

Universal car seat covers are favored by all those users who simply want a firm protection from various annoying hazards and are not much concerned about a perfect fit. Just anything would do for them – but this is not an ideal condition.

Compared to them, Custom Covers are much more dependable and practical. These covers provide all-round effective protection to the car seats and the factory installed original upholstery. But these fully customized seat covers costs more than the Universal type and this is perhaps another reason why some people still prefer the Universal covers. But in an effort to save some money now, they end up spending much more at a later date on repairs.

Universal seat covers are all those that you will come across at automobile stores and at shopping malls. They are a readymade solution – a one size fit all solution. But the problem is, they never fit properly. In the end you may find that these covers are either too tight or too loose and so the protection factor has been compromised. Now would you want to do that?

On the other hand Custom or Custom fit seat covers are dead accurate to the specification that is obtained from the measurements of the seats. These measurements are obtained from the automaker and are then fed to the computer for the designing. And since they are based on the exact data of the model and the make, they fit precisely always. Custom seat covers are created with fabrics that are dirt, dust and moisture resistant and are specifically manufactured for each marque of car or SUV. They also have Ultra violet inhibitors.

Nowadays each model is different from the other in various ways and this is not restricted to just the exterior. Hence, unique seat features are added in newer models. Seat can be tilted, swiveled and comes with God knows how many features.

Universal seat covers can never accommodate all these features of the seat as they are simply not been created for that particular make and model. On the other hand, all the seat features can be accommodated in a Custom seat cover as they have been made keeping all these functionalities and features in mind.
