Winter is coming. If your car is not already equipped with heated seats, there is no need to brave another winter of frigid morning commutes. However, before you trade in your vehicle for one with seat warmers, there’s something you should know. We can actually install aftermarket heated seats in any vehicle! They are fitted underneath your vehicle’s existing seats without altering their appearance. While your seats’ appearance will remain unchanged, your mood will be impacted as you sit like royalty on a heated throne on those chilly mornings ahead. In case you need further convincing, here are four reasons why you should consider heated seat installation in your vehicle.
Heated Seats Warm Up Very Quickly
The air that initially blasts through your air vents when you turn on your car feels like a gust of winter wind. Consequently, the entire cabin of your vehicle may take some time to completely warm up. Heated seats, on the other hand, simply warm the seat itself, so you’ll begin to feel its warmth almost immediately. Not only will they provide comfort, but heated seats can also maintain the temperature of your delicious takeout pizza during the drive home.
Heated Seats Can Conserve Energy
Heated seats transfer heat directly to you rather than dispersing it throughout your vehicle. As a result, heated seats can actually conserve energy because you may avoid the heater if your seats have been adequately heated to your comfort. Over time, heated seats will also eventually dissipate some heat into the air, warming the vehicle as a whole. Of course, heated seats are usually more effective in mildly cold climates rather than in extremely severe cold; otherwise, they may have to be used in tandem with the car heater.
Heated Seats Can Be Individually Controlled
Occasionally a driver may feel cold while the passenger is warm, or vice versa. If you often find yourself disagreeing with your passenger about climate control, heated seats could provide the solution. You can turn heated seats on individually, so drivers and passengers can control their own temperatures.
What if your vehicle already came equipped with driver and passenger heated seats, but without seat warmers for the backseats? We can install heated seats in any seat in your vehicle. The only changes you will experience is an additional seat heater button and more pleasant backseat passengers.
Heated Seats Can Help Soothe Back Pain
According to the National Institutes of Health, 80% of people will suffer from back pain at some point. Heat is a known remedy for back pain. However, generating and applying heat on the go is easier said than done. Heated seats are a good option for someone with chronic pain, specifically in their lower back. Heat relaxes muscles and eases tension, so heated car seats help alleviate chronic pain when you have no choice but to drive. Chronic back pain can have a significant effect on the way we drive, as well as our mood surrounding the driving experience. In turn, this can largely affect our driving habits. Multiple studies show that driving while in discomfort can cause road rage which then has the possibility to evolve into an accident.
After a lengthy commute or road trip, seats that provide therapeutic quality warmth to your back can be highly beneficial. Heated seats provide rapid relief with the press of a button. Give your back a break with heated seats tailored to your specific vehicle model.
