SupaSeam™: Raising the Standard for Vehicle Seat Cover Safety
When it comes to safety on the road or the worksite, every detail matters. Seat-mounted airbags are designed to deploy in 10–30 milliseconds—faster than the blink of an eye. However, their ability to protect occupants can be compromised by seat covers that obstruct or delay deployment.
Watch the video below to see how SupaSeam™ technology ensures proper airbag functionality:
At SupaFit Seat Covers®, we don’t take safety lightly. That’s why we developed SupaSeam™, an airbag-compatible seam technology that ensures airbags deploy exactly as intended, without obstruction or delay. Every SupaSeam™ is engineered, tested, and verified to meet the most stringent industry safety standards.
What is SupaSeam™ technology?
SupaSeam™ is the result of advanced engineering and rigorous testing. Manufactured using German Adler sewing stations, this computerised seam technology mirrors the processes used by Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to deliver reliable, high-quality performance. SupaSeam™ is independently tested and certified to meet ADR72/00 Vehicle Standards, ensuring it meets the same safety benchmarks as OEM products.
How SupaSeam™ works
- Tailored design
SupaSeam™ ensures airbags deploy directly through the seam without obstruction. The tailored design guarantees the seam aligns precisely with the airbag module, maintaining the system’s effectiveness. - Controlled manufacturing
Every seam is crafted with precision-controlled stitching for consistent quality. The process uses permanent computerised settings for stitch length, tension, and speed to eliminate variability. - Error Lock-out functionality
Non-conforming seams are automatically detected and rejected by our calibrated sewing systems. This stringent quality assurance process ensures only compliant seams leave our facility. - Barcode traceability
Each SupaSeam™ features a unique barcode, providing full traceability throughout the production process. This guarantees a reliable record of the seam’s integrity.
Why airbag compatibility is essential
In an emergency, airbags save lives—but only if they deploy as designed. Seat covers that fail to accommodate airbag deployment can delay or obstruct this process, turning a life-saving feature into a safety risk.
SupaSeam™ eliminates this concern by ensuring airbags deploy without interference. Its documented airbag seam technology allows airbags to function as intended, every time.
Tested and proven
SupaSeam™ technology is rigorously tested to meet and exceed industry standards. This includes:
- ADR72/00 compliance: Certified to the Australian Design Rule for Dynamic Side Impact Occupant Protection.
- Extreme condition testing: Verified for consistent performance in temperatures ranging from +85°C to -35°C by independent, NATA-accredited labs such as APVTech and ASE Engineering.
These tests confirm what we already know: SupaSeam™ is built for absolute reliability in critical moments.
