Armrest ARMSTER

Armrests allow a more comfortable sitting position in the vehicle and compact storage of personal items. They reduce the strain on the driver’s arms and shoulders.

Armrests: 7 key facts

1. Products that are installed between the seats often have a plastic or wooden frame with soft lining. They are upholstered with leather, Alcantara, velour, or artificial leather. They are decorated with metal, varnished wood, faux crocodile leather, and other materials. They are fitted with a mount so they can be secured on the transmission tunnel or with a protruding edge that can be inserted into the factory-installed cup holder. Inside, there is usually a compartment for storing small items.
2. There are also versions in the form of a cushion or pad that can be affixed to the door armrests or the lid of the centre console one with double-sided adhesive tape, elastic bands, or straps.
3. To provide the utmost comfort, some accessories have memory foam as a filler. This moulds to the exact contours of your body and provides better elbow support.
4. Many items also include cupholders, ashtrays, lighting, and gadget holders. Some feature heating and cooling functions that allow you to keep food and drinks at the required temperature.
5. When choosing an armrest, it’s better to opt for models with soft inner trimming to help protect the stored items from damage.
6. The most ergonomic and versatile accessories are height-adjustable ones. Since their position can be changed, they ensure a comfortable sitting position for passengers of all heights.
7. It is important to properly mount the component and occasionally check that it’s still secured. Loose attachments cause vibrations in the car cabin. A component suddenly detaching while driving could lead to a car accident.
