Futon Covers 101

Your futon cover is important for several reasons. It provides protection for your futon mattress and can be removed and cleaned. It makes for easy decorating, simply select a cover to fit your decor. Some futon covers are machine washable, while others must be dry cleaned. Dream On's staff is here to help you make sure you get the cover you want with the correct fit for your futon.

What size do I need?

First, you need to measure your futon.This is best done with you futon mattress on a hard, flat surface. Using two rulers, place the first ruler along the middle of one short side of the futon, and the second along the other short side of the futon.  Using a tape measure, measure from ruler to ruler. This measurement is the width. Now place the rulers along the long sides of the futon. This is your length.  To measure the loft, place one ruler under the mattress near the corner, and the second ruler on top of the mattress in the same place near the corner.  With the tape measure measure the distance between the two rulers. This is your loft measurement.  Take these measurements with you when you go to purchase your cover.
