Find futon covers that fit your design style

Futon Style Guide

A futon works harder than almost any other piece of furniture in the house. It is a sofa during the day, a bed at night, and often the first seat guests take in a studio, dorm, guest room, rental, or family room. The fastest way to change how it looks—and how long the mattress lasts—is the cover. A well-chosen futon cover can take the same mattress from college-apartment casual to genuinely styled, whether you lean mid-century, farmhouse, or somewhere in between.

One mattress, many looks.

Because the cover zips off, a futon is one of the easiest pieces of furniture to restyle. Swap a worn or outdated cover for something from our best-selling futon covers, or browse the full range of futon mattress and cushion covers—including custom sizes for extra-thick mattresses, loveseat futons, and sleeper ottomans.

Think about the futon's second job.

A futon that doubles as a guest bed needs a fabric that feels good against skin. One in a playroom or rental needs to shrug off spills and constant folding. Pick the style you love, then let the futon's real workload decide the fabric weight and weave.

Choosing futon cover colors

To make a small room feel bigger

Light covers visually open up studios, dorms, and guest rooms. Browse white, beige and cream, pastel and airy tones, and soft neutrals—especially good for Scandinavian, coastal, and minimalist looks.

To hide wear in a high-traffic room

Darker, richer covers are more forgiving with pets, kids, and daily use. Try black, brown, green, or jewel tones—strong choices for urban, rustic, glam, and family-room futons.

Choosing futon cover fabrics by how the futon is used

Everyday sofa duty

A futon that gets sat on daily needs tightly woven, hardworking fabric. Start with heavyweight twill, performance weaves, and high-durability futon covers.

Guest bed comfort

When overnight guests are the priority, softness matters as much as durability. Consider chenille, soft velour, SuedeTouch, and 100% cotton futon covers.

Pets, kids, and rentals

For claws, crumbs, and constant turnover, browse pet-friendly, scratch-resistant, and spill-proof futon covers that clean up easily and resist snagging.

Specialty needs

For allergy-prone sleepers, wipe-clean surfaces, or a dressier look, explore Allergy Guard futon covers, vegan leather, and damask and jacquard fabrics.

A futon doesn't have to look like a compromise.

Most futons are bought for practical reasons—space, budget, guests—but they don't have to stay looking temporary. The right cover turns a hardworking mattress into furniture you actually chose, not just furniture you settled for.

Start with the mattress you already own, measure it flat, and refresh the whole room with a new cover from our futon mattress and cushion covers, best sellers, or a fully custom size for extra-thick, loveseat, tri-fold, and sleeper-ottoman mattresses.
