Things to know

When choosing seat covers, there are a few points which need to be covered off first. Once you have decided which seats you wish to cover ” e.g. front, rear ” check if they have any of the following:

car bench seat covers

If they have airbags

If the seats have armrests

If the headrests are adjustable or built-in

If they have built in DVD players or screens

If they do, the size you want may not be available, however a Tailor Made solution may be available instead. You can get exactly what you need in a wide range of fabrics, styles and colours.

How do I choose?

Each seat cover is made to a generic size with the only differences being in how the cover fits over headrests or whether it is safe for seats fitted with side impact airbags. Most seat covers come with adjustable straps which allow it to be tighened and adjusted to suit your specifc seat.

The Size 60 or 60/25 is a one piece seat cover which will cover your headrest. While the Size 30 or 30/45 have a separate piece for a headrest, which means your headrest remains adjustable once the seat cover is fitted.

The 30A or 30 Deploy Safe is for front seats with airbags installed. They allow side airbags to deploy in an emergency. The size 30 Deploy Safe uses specialized stitching that allows airbags to deploy while the 30A leaves the airbag uncovered.
