You may think that you are quite careful and don’t tend to spill on the futon, but there are many other things that can happen which are not always controllable. Being sick is a prime example as sweat and vomit can easily end up on the bed.

Things like neglecting the use of sunscreen or fixing that dripping sink can cause more damage the longer it is ignored. Futon covers are also one of those things which people should be using but often put off purchasing. On average, a quality futon mattress can last for 10 years or more. However, if a futon cover is not an integrated part of the futon system, you can expect to lose half of the regular lifespan.
