Why Choose Leatherette Over Leather?
- The look of leather, without the cost. A grained, supple surface that reads as real leather in any interior.
- Wipe-clean and water-resistant. Spills, sweat, mud, and pet messes come off with a damp cloth — no conditioning schedule.
- Padded for comfort and protection. Foam backing keeps the cover's shape and shields the seat from indentations.
- Resale value. Factory upholstery stays untouched underneath, and covers come off before you sell or return the vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are leatherette seat covers safe with side airbags?
Yes. Our vehicle-specific covers are built with airbag-compatible seams that release on deployment. Always confirm you've selected the pattern matched to your exact year, make, and model.
Are they waterproof?
Leatherette is highly water-resistant and repels everyday spills. For full waterproof coverage, see our waterproof seat covers.
Do leatherette covers get hot in summer?
Like any leather-look surface, leatherette warms in direct sun. If you park outside in a hot climate, consider air mesh or a leatherette-and-suede combo, which keeps the leather look on the bolsters and a cooler insert where you sit.
How long does installation take?
EasyFit covers go on in about five minutes per seat. Semi-custom, ExactFit, and custom covers take roughly 30–60 minutes per row and need no tools or permanent changes. Step-by-step installation instructions are included.
How do I clean them?
Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap, then dry. No conditioner, no machine washing, no harsh solvents.
Will the color match my interior?
Our colors are designed to look great in any vehicle, but we cannot guarantee an exact match to your factory upholstery. Order a sample or call us and we'll help you match it.
