If you are in the market for a new car, you may be pondering whether to buy leather or cloth seats. There are pros and cons to each, of course, and you must consider these carefully before making your final decision. When considering your options, maintenance should also be a factor. Seat car servicing in Paignton and other areas can be more expensive if you go with leather.
Here are some pros and cons to both options:
Cloth
Pros:
* It’s cool in both summer and winter
* More economical than leather
* A practical option and there are custom designs to make your ride more enjoyable
* Your butt and legs won’t stick to the seat in hot weather
Cons:
* Stains easily and can be expensive to clean
* No heated seat option
* Smells stay in your car
* Requires regular maintenance, such as vacuuming
Leather
Pros:
* Much more stylish, giving an indication of status and wealth
* Can have the option of heated seats
* Easily wipe up stains with a damp cloth (as long as they’re Scotch guarded first)
* That wonderful leather smell
* Provides a comfortable ride – just like sitting on your couch at home
Cons:
* More expensive than cloth
* Gets very hot in the summer, particularly black leather
* Although it won’t stain nearly as easily as cloth, it does require more maintenance, with cleaning and conditioning; otherwise the leather will crack or become dry and dull
Whether you go with cloth or leather, you’ll have a more enjoyable ride (and so will your passengers) if you regularly clean the inside of your car on a regular basis. This is especially important if you regularly drink coffee while you drive, or you have children who insist on having drinks and crackers on the way to school. Aside from cleaning, seat car servicing in Paignton can keep your seats in top condition. Click here for more details on Seat car servicing.
