Futon covers are both decorative and functional. They provide an excellent method for making your futon more attractive. The fabric of the cover can also help to protect the futon underneath and make the futon last much longer. There will be a few things to think about when buying a futon cover. The first step should be to measure your futon mattress.
Look at all the dimensions including the thickness. Futons are available in many different thicknesses and you want to be sure the one you select will fit. Skipping this step is a real mistake as you could wind up buying a cover that you cannot use. The best futon covers come with zippers as they can be easily removed and washed.
Look around the room at the various colors and fabrics you currently in the room where you have your futon. The futon cover you select should blend in with the rest of the décor of the room. There are many great futon covers out there for very reasonable prices so finding one to match your home and your budget should not be difficult.
Most futon covers will cost between $30 and $150. It is a good idea to set your budget before you go shopping so you can narrow down your choices to the ones that match your price range. You will find a print on both sides of some futon covers. These make it easy to flip your mattress without changing the look of your space.
Another style of futon cover includes a solid color on one side and a print on the other side. This lets you turn it over to give your space a somewhat different look. With a window pane futon cover you will have a print on the top which does not go all the way to the edge of the futon. The edges and back will be a solid color.
