Price — Leather seat covers are more expensive than cloth covers. The price of the leather covers depends on the quality of the leather used. There are huge varieties of leather available like faux leather, top-grain leather, brushed leather and Napa leather.
Aesthetic appeal — Leather seats score more when it comes to visual appeal. They look classy and instantly enhance the aesthetic appeal of the vehicle. On the other hand, cloth covers are practical and easy to maintain while they do not rank much in the looks aspect.
Weather — Cloth seat covers are the best option in areas with hot weather. Leather absorbs heat and gets very hot. It is dangerous to have leather seats in hot temperatures. Cloth covers are the best bet even in cold temperatures as the leather tends to get very cold. Unless your car has seat warmers, cloth covers are the best option.
Maintenance — leather seats require regular maintenance and cleaning to keep them in good condition, whereas cloth covers just need a regular vacuum and occasional wash to remove any stains and dust.
Comfort — when it comes to comfort, leather seat covers are luxurious. Nothing beats the luxury and comfort offered by leather seats. Though the quality of leather determines the comfort. High quality leather seats are soft and comfortable.
