What are Universal Fit seat covers, and can I use them in my vehicle?

Universal Fit Seat Covers are a generic cover design suited to the style of the seat but not the exact seat model. They will not fit seats with contoured edges like sports style seats or with armrests on the seats. Below is a guide to the types of seats that can use universal front seat covers. It is important to note that Universal Fit seat covers for some vehicles are loose in the fit and for other models may offer a tighter fit. If you want guaranteed tight fitting seat covers, we recommend you choose Custom Fit or Custom Made seat covers.

Can I use Universal Fit Rear Seat Covers in my vehicle?

Universal Fit Bench Seat Covers can be used for vehicles with a solid Base and Backrest on the seats design. There are not any allowances for any splits in the seats, armrests or cup holders. Some vehicle owners choose the universal bench seat covers for vehicles where the seats are not commonly used and they don't require the ability to use armrests or cup holders. The Universal Fit Bench Seat Covers design can accommodate up to 3 rear headrests. If you want to be able use all the features in your 2nd or 3rd bench seats with splits and/or cup holders, then you should order Custom Fit or Custom Made seat covers for your specific vehicle.

Is there any difference between the materials used in Custom Made seat covers and Universal Fit seat covers?

All of the same materials are available for Custom Fit and Universal Fit seat covers - the difference is in price and fitment style (tailoring). There are only a few exceptions where Universal Fit is not available in the same fabric.

Why do the Universal Fit Seat Covers so much less than Custom Made?

The Universal Fit seat covers have been bulk produced overseas which means they can be offered for sale at a much lower price than Australian made to order for your vehicle. However it's always best to check our specific vehicle listings as we have Custom Fit ready made packs for most current popular vehicles.

Do you have a Custom Made seat cover pattern available for my vehicle?

Custom Made seat covers are available for the majority of vehicle seat patterns being used in Australia. Our range of covers are from different Australian manufacturers who have all been manufacturing seat covers for many years. In some infrequent cases the material that you select might not be available as Custom Made but we may have an alternative and comparable material available.  Whilst it's very uncommon for a pattern to not be available, occasionally if your vehicle is brand new a new pattern might need to be created for you which could add some extra time to your order but we will notify you of this if it applies.

Are Seat Covers easy to fit?

Some other websites we see have listed phrases such as "Easy Fitting System" but thats a bit misleading in our opinion as to get a fitted cover each piece does need to be individually fitted to each part of the seat which is quite a time consuming process depending on the exact types of seats being covered. For example, in some specific vehicles you need to remove the rear base to install the seat covers. Please check your vehicle manual, or with your vehicle manufacturer prior to ordering, as we don't have seat installation and fitting instructions for each and every vehicle.
