Furniture Buying Guide - Futon Covers
This cover up gets your eyes wide open
Covers for anything serve two purposes - they help you protect the object and create the look and feel of variety. Similarly, futon covers are used to protect the futon mattress and to personalize the futon's appearance with a colorful option. A futon cover also shields the futon mattress from everyday wear and tear. Covers also make it easy to change the look of the room with great ease. At Total Bedroom Furniture, we offer a solid selection of futon covers to match any room in your home.
Fabrics used to produce futon covers vary by grades. They can be sewn from fine linens, tapestry cloth, microfiber suede and even leather, just to name a few. Most futon covers are easy to care for; just remove the cover and follow the recommended cleaning instructions by the manufacturer. Most fabrics can either be machine-washed, dry-cleaned or spot cleaned. When you buy the futon mattress, a cover too should be purchased, whether it's off the shelf or customized to fit.
Construction of futon covers varies. Covers may have sewn in zippers or a velour closure. The most popular construction is the box style cover. It has a top and bottom panel with a depth border and three sided zipper closure. It gives your futon mattress the appearance of upholstered furniture. You will find covers that have the same fabric all over. A solid back cover will have the main panel and border of the same fabric and back panel of a solid coordinating fabric. A front print cover will have the main panel of one fabric and the border and bottom panel of a coordinating fabric. One other cover is end capped. The main panel is centered and capped with a coordination color. That coordinating color is then extended to the border and bottom panel. These different constructions are significant because fabrics vary in width and cost. Offering various assemblies of futon covers provides affordable decorating options. Perhaps the futon covers' unique selling point is its ability to make redecorating ever so simple and economical.
Some popular futon slip covers include those in velvet and chenille. Indeed, velvet futon covers and chenille futon covers look and feel good while bringing comfort and warmth to any room. Microfiber futon covers re extremely popular as well for today's sofas as they are soft, durable, easy to maintain and look like real suede. Microfiber, by its very nature, is stain resistant so additional fabric protection is often not necessary. The fiber does not leave lint or dust, so it is highly recommended for people with allergy problems. Machine washable futon covers continue to be ever popular as they are easy to maintain. These can be machine washed cold, then tumbled dry. Most washable covers are crafted from a thick, durable blend of cotton and polyester for long-lasting quality. Some futons made from premium, heavy-duty grade fabrics look and feel like leather to withstand high traffic areas. They are durable and easy to clean using simply a damp cloth.
