Seat Material Types and Advantages and Disadvantages, Analysis by Aviation Seat Manufacturers

I believe that most car users think that using leather seats is high-end, and liking animal leather seems to be a common phenomenon; in addition to topics related to animal protection, the animal leather used in vehicles is naturally unprotected animal leather, and it is reasonable to like this material.

First of all, due to the existence of "light luxury", car leather seats are one of the important references for distinguishing the quality (grade) of cars; at the same time, leather materials have two advantages, but the premise is to use "yellow leather". Ordinary pig skin, horse skin, and sheepskin are not suitable for use as seat materials. The first two are characterized by hard and rough texture, and there will be some "diaphragms" when making seats... Sheepskin is a very good material with good elasticity and soft texture, but sheepskin has too many wrinkles and poor wear resistance. This material is only suitable for making clothing,

Buffalo leather has the same characteristics as horse leather. Finally, only yellow leather is suitable for making materials; this kind of leather has fine pores, good breathability, good toughness, and delicate feel. It can be said to be a very good raw material.

Many drivers think that leather has poor breathability, which is a misunderstanding; in addition, seats made of leather materials often have holes in the leather. The fine holes are to achieve "natural ventilation or seat ventilation". Natural ventilation needs no explanation. Seat ventilation is to blow cold air out of the seat cushion and backrest through the blower and air conditioning system. Using such a seat will have a good experience. Even if you drive for a long time, your back will not sweat; at the same time, sweat will not penetrate into the sponge inside the seat, thereby preventing the seat from odor.

As for leather seats, it is not a problem to feel cold in winter; because car seats made of leather materials should be heated by at least the front seats. The seats can be heated with electric heating wires in a few minutes.

Is Pu artificial leather definitely worse than genuine leather materials?

There may be such a saying for leather products, but cars may not; although animal leather looks more refined and feels better than artificial leather, animal leather is difficult to "mold". That is to say, it can only be used to cover car seats with conservative shapes. The "bucket seats" and "head restraint integrated seats" that have been popular in recent years have strange shapes, but they do look sporty, so these seats will use artificial leather.

Artificial leather has a simple shape and a variety of colors, which is something that animal leather cannot do; so many high-end sports cars also use leather seats, but the reason is not that simple. High-standard microfiber leather has very ideal wear resistance. It can be folded 1 million times at room temperature without damage. It has enough strength and there is no need to worry about easy scratches; sports car seats always have high-frequency and high-intensity friction, so it is more reasonable to use this material.

At the same time, the maintenance of artificial leather is also relatively simple. Unlike animal leather, special cleaning agents are required, and there are very strict requirements for pH value; therefore, using artificial leather will save you some troubles, and you can always choose a car with personalized seats.

Cloth seat must be the one with the lowest position?
A: Yes.

The fabric material is "cloth". It is undeniable that seats made of cloth will feel very soft and breathable; therefore, cloth sofas were also popular in the early days, but if you use such a sofa, you will have a headache-because it is easy to get dirty. Cloth will leave color when it comes into contact with slightly colored water, and some stains will remain very "intact"; at the same time, because the sofa has good air permeability and water permeability, sweat or other odorous liquids will be absorbed by the sponge when they flow into the sofa, and they will stink over time. The fabric sofa can also be easily removed from the cover for cleaning, while the car seat cannot be cleaned... and the wear resistance of the fabric is relatively poor.

After the leather seat is dirty, it only needs to be simply cleaned, and it can even be cleaned with clean water and a towel; but the fabric seat cannot be cleaned in this way, otherwise the water will be very wet after penetrating the sponge. If it is not ventilated and dried in time, it will breed mold and then produce odor.

Therefore, fabric seats are really troublesome to use. Drivers and passengers need to pay attention to the high cleaning cost; the point is that fabric seats often do not have seat heating and ventilation configuration, and the riding experience is relatively poor. Therefore, the car must add leather seat covers, but it always looks very bad texture; and in the past two years, some high-end cars have also used fabric seats, which is just to reduce manufacturing costs. Leather is a good choice for car and animal seats.
