You need a new futon mattress cover, but there are a lot to choose from, how do you know which futon mattress covers are worth the investment. Below are a few thing to take into consideration before you buy:

1. Consider the thread count. As a minimum, you should buy a cover that has a 200 thread count. 400 to 500 thread count it even better. The higher the thread count, the higher the quality of the futon mattress cover and the longer it would be expected to last.
2. Size is the next important factor. A lot of futons are queen size, but they also con in double, twin, and full. Sometimes they will even come in a custom size. It is important to know what size you need before you buy a mattress cover.
3. The next fact to consider is the name brand and the color of the cover. Cheap futon covers may bleed when they are washed. Go with a reputable company whenever you can. A lot of online retailers will offer satisfaction guaranteed, but it is important to remember that a guarantee is only ever as reliable as the person given it, because it is difficult to enforce. Also make make sure that the cover you get matches with your room or bedroom décor.

Looking at 3 or 4 stores will help you determine what to expect as far as pricing is concerned. Occasionally clearance items can be a great deal, but you will have less selection. Although prices don’t vary much throughout the year, occasionally, they will drop a little over Christmas or just after the new year. It depends on the on the online availability and the competition from buyers and sellers. Making the right decision and buying a quality futon cover is decision you can be happy with in the long run.
