Your futon has seen better days. Its fabric is old and faded. Threads are showing all over the place. Its frame is still sturdy, but the thing just looks ugly. In fact, you're thinking of throwing it in the thrash and buying a new one.
Not so fast! There is an inexpensive way to make over your futon. Just buy a futon slipcover.
Futon slipcovers are fabric cut and sewn to fit futons. They update and renovate the entire look of the piece, all for a fraction of the cost of a new futon.
Futon slipcovers are available in a wide variety of fabrics, colors, and styles. You can change to whole tone of your room just by changing the cover. Futon slipcovers can be old-fashioned or modern.
They can be fun or serious. They can be bright or neutral. They can be retro or contemporary. Popular choices are solids, plaids, florals, geometric shapes, abstracts, and nature prints. Some companies are even offering slipcovers that look like leather.
Whatever your personal taste, whatever the theme of the room, you can find a futon slipcover to match.
When shopping for a futon slipcover, make sure you pick the right fabric. You will want a fabric that is strong enough to withstand frequent use and regular folding. Cotton and polyester mixes are popular, sturdy choices.
Futon slipcovers are available at most stores that sell futons or futon mattresses. They are also available online -- simply search for "futon slip covers" at Google or another search engine. Two well-known and well-respected companies that manufacture futon slipcovers are Omni Softgoods and SIS.
Their products are readily available online and at brick-and-mortar shops.
Thanks to futon slipcovers, you can quickly, easily, and inexpensively makeover your room..
