Any owner dreams of making his car more comfortable. With many additional features, in particular the presence of an air conditioner, today it is difficult to surprise anyone. But in the Russian climate, even a very powerful stove will not help to instantly warm up the car when it is turned on after parking in the open air. A heated seat cover will help out.
Luxury or necessity?
In fact, seat heating is not an additional element of comfort, but a necessary function. Sitting on a cold car seat is not only unpleasant in the winter, but also dangerous for health. There are several options for creating warm seats. Some craftsmen even manage to independently introduce heating elements inside the upholstery. But why put so much effort if there is a simple and convenient option? When high-quality heating of the car seats is required, wraps are the best solution. Their main plus is versatility. Wraps can be used in cars of any make and model. Do not forget that there are no difficulties during installation. Any car enthusiast can remove or remove the wraps on their own.
How are heated wraps arranged?
Externally, the heated seats are reminiscent of ordinary
seat covers- car
covers . They can be made in any design. Moreover, the material can have not only any color, but also a different density and texture. Inside the fabric cover there are heating elements. The most common option is a wire with high resistance. Some models use a special tape. The heated cover on the car seat should heat up to a pleasant temperature. The adjustment is made by a thermostat. A device can have one or two temperature conditions; in expensive models, you can set the desired temperature to the nearest degree. Most cigarette lighter wraps work, some are connected directly to the carβs power system.
What to look for when buying?
The classic heated seat cover for cars only heats the seat. If you wish, you can find options that heat up the back, but they will cost much more. Pay attention to the fabric from which the cloak is made. If it is very soft and thin, you are unlikely to feel comfortable. The best option is a fairly dense, moderately stiff fabric. It is not worth saving when purchasing heating; in the cheapest models the thermostat works very poorly. And this means that, most likely, you have to constantly turn off the cloak yourself. However, it is not recommended to constantly drive with heating on during normal operation of the stove. The heated seat cover on the car seat should turn on immediately after starting the car and work until you are warm. Otherwise, you get lost, as in a sauna, and at the very first exit to the street you run the risk of catching a cold due to a sharp change in temperature. Pay attention to the additional features of the cloak. Today you can find models in which heating is beneficially combined with a massage effect.
