Protecting your seats from wear and tear can be challenging, especially if you have children or pets. Over time, heavy use can degrade your upholstery and resale value. To preserve your truck interior, here’s what you should look for when buying seat covers

3 Considerations When Buying Seat Covers for a Truck

1. Quality

While lower-quality covers may be attractive or affordable, they can't protect your upholstery as well as those made with high-end materials. Look for high-quality fabrics, such as neoprene, designed to maintain their shape and comfort longer, as well as water resistance to prevent stains. 

2. Fit

Before selecting covers, measure your seats while accounting for details such as the headrests and armrests. Measure the base of the seat for depth and the back for height.

If you can't find your exact model, look for the sizes closest to your measurements, or consider custom models tailor-made for your vehicle. 

3. Aesthetics & Practicality

The covers’ appearance matters for more than just aesthetics. While you want them to look attractive, also choose a color that is easy to clean and won't absorb heat. If you're drawn to lighter colors, look for fabrics like neoprene that are stain- and water-resistant.

While darker colors hide dirt, they can be uncomfortable on hot or sunny days. Materials like nylon and canvas stay cool while also offering scuff-resistance, which is helpful for those with children or pets.
