Car mat and seat cover guides
Straight answers to what people ask us before they buy.
- Car mat guide
3D vs 5D vs 7D car mats: what the letters really mean
“3D”, “5D” and “7D” are not measured standards. They are sellers' labels for how raised a mat's edges are and how many layers or stitched patterns it has. Two “7D” mats from different shops can be built completely differently. Compare what protects your car instead: fit, wall coverage, thickness, surface coating and warranty.

How to clean 3D car mats
You don't need to take Ottoman 3D car mats out to clean them. Vacuum the surface, then wipe it with a damp cloth. Spills bead on the coating, so wipe them up while they're fresh. For sticky dirt, use a little mild soap and water and dry it off. Skip bleach, solvents and stiff brushes.
- Safety guide
Are seat covers airbag safe?
They can be, if the cover is made for your seats. Many cars have side airbags inside the outer edge of the front seats, which burst out through a seam. A safe cover leaves that seam free to split. Ottoman seat covers are custom-fit and designed to be airbag-friendly, with an airbag label on the side.
- Seat cover guide
Nappa Leatherette vs Classic Leatherette
Both are Ottoman's custom-fit seat cover materials, with 360° coverage and same-day installation. Nappa Leatherette is the softer, more premium choice: 18 colours and a 3-year warranty. Classic Leatherette is the practical everyday choice at a lower price, with 7 colours and a 1-year warranty. The fit and designs are the same.
- Seat cover guide
Seat cover vs upholstery (sarung vs jahit)
A custom-fit seat cover goes over your existing seats; upholstery (jahit) strips them and sews new material on. An Ottoman seat cover is fitted the same day, in 1 to 5 hours depending on the car, without dismantling the seats, keeps your original seats untouched underneath and usually costs less. Upholstery suits seats that are torn or need reshaping.
