About this item

• Fits a Full Size Futon Mattress, 54 x 75 Inches: Sized for armless futon frames holding a mattress 6 to 8 inches deep. Measure your mattress first. A thicker futon will not zip closed, and a frame with arms is not what this cover is built for.
• Zips Shut Instead of Stretching Over: A hidden zipper with a full length flap encloses the mattress on all sides. Elastic slipcovers grip from the outside and ride up when someone sits down. This one fastens closed, so there is nothing to re-tuck.
• Covers a Worn Futon Completely: Seals a stained, faded or tired futon mattress inside clean cotton instead of replacing the futon itself. The mattress is enclosed on every side, so nothing underneath shows along the seams or the edges.
• Unzips and Goes in the Washing Machine: Take it off, wash it, put it back on. The futon a guest sleeps on gets freshened between visits instead of spot cleaned in place, and the zipper makes removal quick rather than a wrestling match.
• Breathable Cotton in Nine Colors: Woven 100% cotton rather than the polyester and spandex knit used on stretch covers. Nine colors, including Natural White, so the futon reads as part of the room instead of the thing you cover with a throw.

A futon mattress takes more wear than almost anything else in the room. It gets sat on all day, slept on at night, and it cannot go in the wash. Most covers sold for it are stretch slipcovers: elastic knit that pulls over the outside of the futon and has to be tugged back into place every time somebody gets up. This is a different thing. It is a full size futon mattress cover that zips shut around the mattress itself, 54 by 75 inches, made for armless futon frames with a mattress 6 to 8 inches deep. The hidden zipper runs behind a full length flap, so the cover closes on every side and stays where you put it. A worn, stained or faded futon goes inside it and stops being the thing you apologise for. It is woven 100% cotton, so it breathes rather than sitting slick against skin the way a spandex knit does, and it comes off and goes in the washing machine whenever it needs to. That matters most on a futon that doubles as a guest bed, where the surface someone slept on should be washable between visits. These futon covers come in nine colors, and in full size only: 54 x 75 inches, armless frames, a mattress 6 to 8 inches deep. Whether it is the futon in a spare room, a small futon in a studio apartment, or the jack knife sofa in an RV, measure the mattress depth before ordering, because a zippered cover either closes or it does not.
