A futon can give you the ability to change your futon cover weekly, monthly or even daily. Imagine changing the look of your couch every week, or month. A new color, a design or different material can give a freeing and unlimited spirit to anyone. The futon draws it history centuries ago, but here in the United States, the futon bed, or the fold out couch, became a part of American history in the 70’s.
Early futons were very basic slat back couches that laid out into a bed. They were convenient, trendy, and inexpensive. The comfort level of the early futon bed was pretty low, but many people claimed back pain relief. The mattresses were made out of pure cotton that tended get lumpy. But one of the highlights of the futon owner was they could take the cover off to launder or change completely.
Modern innovations and design improvements have made futon frames elements sturdier and stylish also, the mattresses have improved 100% and the covers have hundreds of more choices. The futon covers can be a variety of materials including cotton, polyester, micro fiber, blended materials, suede, and leather. A piping feature on the material will give the cover a traditional upholstery look. Some of the patterns beside a large variety of solid colors are contemporary, southwestern, and retro. Some of the theme patterns include a variety of oceanic and marine life prints. Retro covers display paisleys, daisies, and kaleidoscope trips down memory lane. There are also some animal and cartoon prints as well as sports themes to change the motif of your room when game time is on.
Most futon covers have a three-sided zipper for easy on and off. To measure your mattress lie flat and measure width and length, most covers have standard sizes to fit your mattress, whether it is for a chair, loveseat, or full sized bed. Enjoy the freedom of having a futon for overnight guests or just to have a couch that you can that you can change the cover on whenever you want.
