1. Why You Might Need a Futon Cover


You Want a New Look for Your Futon:


The great thing about futons is that it is incredibly easy to update their look. Purchasing a futon cover is a simple and economical way to give your futon a fresh style.


Purchasing futon covers is a great way to update the look of your futon

If you are redecorating your room, you can choose from a wide selection of futon covers to match your new design perfectly. Even if you aren't redecorating your whole room, you may just feel like a bit of a change, so purchasing a new futon cover is a great option. 


You Regularly Clean Your Cover:


If you sleep on your futon most nights and therefore wash its cover regularly, it is a good idea to purchase a second or third futon cover that you can immediately use while your other cover is being cleaned. That way you won't have a bare futon mattress and you can enjoy a different look on a regular basis.


Your Old Cover Is Damaged:


If you bought a quality futon and mattress, then it will probably last you for many years. Your futon cover, however, might get accidentally damaged before your futon wears out. If your futon cover gets a stain that you just can't get out or if it gets ripped, then simply purchase a new futon cover to replace your old one. 


You Have Children or Pets:


Even if you don't regularly sleep on your futon, but you have small children or pets, you probably will want to wash your futon cover from time to time. Having a removable futon cover will give you that option.


If you sleep on your futon, you can get a second futon cover to use while your original one is being washed

You should, however, check the washing instructions before you buy. Some covers are washable, some are dry clean only, some are hand wash only, and others you can't wash at all.


2. Futon Covers Selection from the Futon Shop


The Futon Shop offers an incredibly wide range of futon covers in a great selection of various materials including:
