Futon Covers

What are the measurements of a futon cover? Is there a zipper?

Futon covers are designed to fit standard futon mattress sizes, which typically have a thickness of 6 to 8 inches.

However, if your futon mattress is thicker than 8 inches, you can also order a custom cover that will fit snugly. When it comes to putting on and taking off your futon cover, most covers come with a zipper that goes around two sides, allowing for easy removal and washing.

What is loft, piping, and inlay?

Loft

The loft is the height measurement of the futon cover, it matches the mattress thickness. Standard futon covers fit 6 to 8-inch thick futon mattresses but can be custom-made in a 9 or 10-inch loft.

Piping

The piping is the decorative binding around the cover pointing out its edges. Piping could be made of a different color to complement or contrast the main cover fabric.

Piping could be made in contrasting colors (blue cover with creme piping shown)

Inlay

The inlay is the bottom side of the futon cover. It can be made of a different fabric. Cover with optional inlay is typically one print on top with a coordinating solid fabric on the ‘flip side’. Usually, this option is used to reduce the cover price. Also, covers with inlay could be flipped if you were desperate to hide a stain before company arrives or even if you prefer the solid side for a change of pace.

What are the cotton print, microsuede, chenille, and heavy texture futon cover options in futon sets?

All our futon sets have a solid collection futon cover included. You can choose between standard color options or select cotton print, microsuede, or heavy texture if you want to upgrade your cover option.

When you select a non-solid color cover with your package, specify the style in the comments box at checkout. Our customer service representative will contact you to confirm the selected style.
