The Altara seat cover is engineered with a universal fit compatible with the vast majority of standard passenger vehicle seats. The MagFit system accommodates a range of seat widths and depths, delivering a clean, tailored result regardless of vehicle make or model.
If your seats feature integrated side airbags, fixed non-removable headrests, or a particularly high bolster profile, we recommend reviewing our fit guide or contacting us before purchasing.
Yes. The premium microfibre construction is thin enough to allow heat transfer without significant impediment. You may notice a slight reduction in heating efficiency, but heated seat functionality is preserved under normal use.
Altara covers are not recommended for use with integrated seat massage systems, as the cover may restrict movement of the massage mechanism.
The Altara seat cover is designed to be compatible with most side-impact seat airbags. However, we strongly advise consulting your vehicle owner's manual before installing any aftermarket seat cover if your seats are equipped with integrated side airbags.
Altara cannot guarantee safe airbag deployment performance across all vehicle configurations. Safety is paramount - if in doubt, please contact us before installing.
The Altara seat cover measures 145 cm in length and 70 cm in width, sized to cover the full seat back and seat base of a standard passenger vehicle seat. One size fits most — the MagFit system provides adjustable tension to ensure a snug, wrinkle-free finish.
The Altara MagFit system uses precision-calibrated magnetic snap-on clips that secure the cover behind the seat back - no tools, no straps, no permanent modification to your vehicle required.
The magnets are tuned to hold firmly through daily use, including aggressive acceleration and braking, while remaining straightforward to remove when washing is needed.
Installation takes under two minutes per seat:
1. Place the cover over your seat, aligning the headrest opening with your headrest.
2. Feed the lower portion of the cover around the seat base, smoothing outward from the centre.
3. Clip the MagFit magnetic clips behind the seat back until they engage with a firm click.
4. Smooth the cover from top to bottom to remove any creasing.
No tools required. The cover sits flush and clean without adjustment.
No. The MagFit clips are engineered to hold firmly without applying pressure directly to seat surfaces. They engage with the space behind the seat back, not the seat material itself.
Removal leaves no marks, residue, or permanent impression. The system is fully reversible — your original seat is preserved exactly as you left it.
The Altara seat cover is constructed from premium microfibre - a high-density, breathable fabric engineered for comfort, moisture resistance, and long-term durability.
Each cover features reinforced piping stitched throughout the perimeter (white contrast or black tonal depending on your chosen colourway), precision-embroidered Altara script branding, and an integrated rubber dot anti-slip backing to prevent shifting.
Yes. The Altara seat cover is fully machine washable. To maintain quality and longevity:
- Machine wash cold, gentle cycle only
- Do not tumble dry - hang dry only
- Do not iron or bleach
- Remove MagFit clips before washing
- Allow to air dry completely before reinstalling
The microfibre material retains its softness and shape through repeated washing cycles.
Spot clean minor marks with a damp cloth and mild soap as needed. Wash the full cover every 4-8 weeks under normal use, or more frequently if used in demanding conditions (gym, beach, outdoor activities).
Avoid leaving the cover in direct sunlight for extended periods, as prolonged UV exposure can affect fabric depth over time. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
