It can be quite the challenge to find the right seat cover material for your Ford F-150 truck. Among the top determinants include; the level of comfort offered and how clean and undamaged they leave your seats. Aside from all that it is also ideal to choose suitable seat covers based on your lifestyle. For instance, heavy-duty trucks constantly in use need a durable fabric. While a luxurious lifestyle will demand a more comfortable and subtle seat cover. For some with pets and toddlers, making a mess is a constant issue hence you’ll need one that is easy to wash. Here are two of the top materials for your Ford F150 seats and their advantages over some truck features.
· For Active Truck Use
If your Ford F-150 is a hauling beast, often employed in hard labour, then a good set of neoprene seat covers is suitable. Neoprene is tough and durable; it can withstand wear and tear. Neoprene seat covers are ideal for protecting your seats against rough handling.
· Simplicity in Lifestyle
Saddle-blanket seat covers are perfect for Ford owners who are all about simplicity, adaptability, and quality. This is because the saddle blanket can be customized to match the current truck’s interior décor. Moreover, the saddle blanket is comfortable, given its rich heritage. Saddle-blanket was originally placed on a horse or mule before the saddle for added comfort. Also, the saddle-blanket tends to retain its colour and doesn’t fade easily. Thus, there is no need to fear washing them regularly.
· What about the Prices?
It is no secret that seat cover materials are priced differently. Moreover, price is a huge factor when things like durability, size, and customisation are considered. Custom-made seat covers will cost more than their universal counterparts, however, it’s a manageable cost.
Custom neoprene seat covers typically cost between $200 to $300 while custom saddle blanket seat covers range from $150 to $275.
· Ease of Installation
Some seat covers are easy to install while others are just a headache. However, neoprene is a tight form-fitting material requiring less time securing it over the seats compared to saddle-blanket. Saddle-blanket will take quite some time, more so if it’s custom installed.
· Seat Protection Level
When it comes to seat protection, there are several factors to be considered. Neoprene is 100% waterproof and is very easy to hand wash, or dry clean and drip dry. Moreover, neoprene is employed in the aquatic industry in making wet suits and deep-diving gear. You will not have to worry about moisture damage and neoprene seat covers are anti-slip. Neoprene seat covers will thus protect your seat from moisture-related damage.
Saddle-blankets on the other hand are tough themselves, protecting your seats from wear and tear attributed to regular use.
Prioritize Your Preferences when Customizing
After considering the aforementioned features, customisation comes next. How would you like your seat covers customized? Most truck owners include a dash of their personality as well as focus on quality and visual aesthetics. All in all, selecting the most suitable seat covers for your Ford F-150 truck should come as a breeze with this guide.
