Should Fabric Seats Use Seat Covers?

[ColtonDella]

It is not recommended to add seat covers to fabric seats for the following reasons: 1. Seat covers hinder ventilation: Odor is closely related to temperature, and higher temperatures can cause more odor molecules to disperse into the air, making the smell stronger. Car seats are already not very breathable, and adding seat covers would only exacerbate the issue. Therefore, for some car owners who find the seats uncomfortable, it is advisable to consider optional features like seat heating and ventilation, which are more comfortable than seat covers. 2. Automotive safety: From a safety perspective, it is strongly advised not to use seat covers. Seat covers can interfere with the deployment of side airbags, similar to how placing objects on the front panel of the passenger seat can affect airbag deployment. Airbags are not designed to penetrate an additional layer of seat cover, and in an emergency, the effectiveness of an airbag needing to penetrate an extra layer of seat cover remains uncertain.
