Who Needs Futon Covers Anyway?
January 30th, 2009You’re looking for futon covers and don’t want to get ripped off or make the wrong choice regarding styles, etc. You’re smart. Don’t worry, because it is almost impossible to make a bad decision these days with the number of options available. And, for the money, you can always just get a different futon cover.
This is why you might need to get a futon cover - protection from your pets.
Many people just don’t realize how much they can save you in terms of wear and tear and clean-up. While they may not work as well as using a flea bomb for your pets, they can at the very least keep them from getting into the mattress material. For example, a cover on a guest couch/sleeper can be changed along with the sheets to keep your guests feeling clean and comfortable each time. Also, imagine having a few different styles of futon mattress covers and being able to change the look of a room drastically in only minutes flat! They talk about how easily and cheaply paint change affect the look of a room, imagine what updating and enhancing your covers can do in much less time and no mess to clean up! There are so many varieties to choose from these days that you’ll find a quick browse online will just get your imaginative juices flowing.
There are so many styles. Does a worn out looking beige or black futon cover have you feeling dingy and old? Well, for under $100 in most cases, you can completely change your old dusty and hole-riddled futon slipcover for faux suede or animal print futon covers. If you like, you can go for leather futon covers (heck, even faux leather covers) are available. The only limit to the look of your futon is likely your own imagination. Get online and look around, you’ll see colors and styles that you never thought of!
Are you thinking about going green? No, not the color. Environmentally friendly style green. You can even find organic cottons and hemp fabrics as cover materials. Not only can these be more hip but hemp also has greater durability to it. While these fabrics may cost slightly more, you will be saving in the long run. Not only that, your friends will know who to ask next when they are thinking about doing the same thing.
It really all comes down to personal style. Part of your style is that you like the laid back, comfortable, flexible and simple styling offered by having a futon in the first place. They are a great way to get a perfect night’s sleep for your weary guests and provide better support and comfort than those air mattresses. To get more bang for your decorating buck, get some new futon covers and enjoy the rest of your week knowing that at least you don’t have to worry about THAT project for a while.
