Futon Covers

1. You're going to have a hard time fitting your futon mattress into a washing machine. Spare it the indignity of a juice-stained and food-pocked existence with a protective futon cover. Our selection of futon covers include machine-washable materials for easy maintenance.

2. A futon makeover is one of the easiest forms of one-step living room or bedroom redecorating. Cover those white, black, and primary colors that futons come in with tasteful contemporary tones and patterns, including outdoor, abstract, and artistic motifs.

3. You'll never see patterned futons in the wild (they're domesticated creatures), but that doesn't mean you can't have a little wildness in your futon pattern. Wildlife, tropical flowers, and southwestern colors and themes are among our most popular patterned futon covers.

4. Is you futon looking worn? Do it a solid favor and buy it a colorful new cover. Solid futon covers make futon pads an integral part of your decor, with appealing textures and modern tones that complement any futon frame.

5. Throw pillows add bursts of color and artistry to your favorite seating area, transforming a futon from a functional furniture piece into a visual highlight. Our eclectic futon throw pillow styles include vibrant colors, outdoor motifs, and subtle contemporary patterns.

6. Stylish yet practical, futon bolster pillows are all about bodily comfort. Use them for extra back support, as neck pillows when leaning your head back, comfortable movie watching companions, or to keep your futon frame out of arm's way.

7. The combination of a futon cover and futon pillows makes a striking ensemble, but watch out for clashing or too similar styles. A useful futon decorating trick is to match patterned futon covers with solid pillows, and vice versa.

8. When choosing a futon cover style, be sure to check its material. Not only will faux leather, microsuede, and polyester-cotton blends present different textures, but their cleaning requirements vary dramatically. Some are dry clean or spot clean only rather than machine washable.

9. Buying a futon pillow with a removable sham offers a few useful benefits. If well maintained, the sham can be revived in the future by adding a new pillow insert. Removable futon pillow shams are also easier to wash or spot clean.

10. Even the prettiest picture needs a suitable frame. Once you've found the perfect cover and pillows for your futon mattress, check out our futon frames section to find metal, wood, and wicker/rattan frames in contemporary, traditional, and Mission styles.
