When buying a seat cover, it's important that you choose something practical that also aligns with your personality and lifestyle. This might seem like a no-brainer, but the world of car accessories is vast and navigating it can be difficult for the untrained car owner.

While Motoquipe can help you with a tailor-made seat cover to suit your car's make and model, everything else, including the material, will be entirely up to you. Read on for a better understanding of these three seat-cover varieties to help you with your choice.

Sheepskin covers are great for those who want a touch of luxury in their lives.

Sheepskin

Sheepskin seat covers are great for those who love the touch of luxury in their lives. As you can probably imagine, they are super comfortable and keep you very warm, perfect for dragging yourself out of bed for the commute to work on frosty winter mornings.

These covers do, however, require special care, particularly when it comes to cleaning. Spot clean them when you can and always let them air dry.

If you're someone who can't resist a soft blanket and prizes comfort above all else, investing in a sheepskin seat cover may be worth considering

Neoprene

Made from the same rubber-based material as wet suits, neoprene seat covers contribute an edgy, sporty vibe to your vehicle. Form-fitting and difficult to puncture, these covers also offer a nice cushioning effect, making your drive infinitely more comfortable.

A good match for adventurous souls, neoprene's durability means that you can chuck sand-covered boogie boards, camping gear or bicycles across your seats without having to worry about whether they'll be damaged. Unsurprisingly for wet suit material, neoprene is water resistant, making it the perfect post-beach ride for summer.

Velour

The closest in feel to the factory seats that non-leather interior cars already have, velour is similar to velvet in texture. Unlike velvet, however, it's a knitted fabric, so it is much more stretchy and versatile.

Seat covers made from velour are perfect for families with children or pets, as they protect seats from scratches, spillage and pet hair. As a bonus, they are also easy to wash: simply spray on a velour-specific cleaner, wipe it off with a wet sponge, then let it dry. This material's unique combination of comfort and practicality make it ideal for busy families with hectic lifestyles.

If you like the sound of any of these, shop online with Motoquipe. Our huge range of seat covers means it will be easy to find something you like.
