how flimsy is the polyester cover. Would I need to get a futon cover for these? I was thinking about dying the cover

I've not yet had to remove it, but it seems pretty substantial. I sleep on the pad in a sleeping bag, plus I put a flat sheet underneath for protection, so it stays clean. Hope that helps.

I think it's pretty sturdy. A twin sheet fits perfectly over it to protect it.

Cover is not flimsy, not extra hard either. It is comfortable to the touch of the skin. I can not tell you about dying the cover. With a sleeping bag on top is super comfortable and firm at the same time. I hope it helps.I hope it helps.

The cover is not flimsy and it is removable so you can unzip it and put it to wash. I use twin sheet sets on it and it works just as fine. I'm not sure if a futon cover would work. Good luck.

Yes, I was afraid washing would ruin them. Let me know what your friends advise (thanks :) We just keep the covers on them and wash the covers, and air the duvets out in the open air (shade). Use flannel covers for winter and cotton covers for summer. Seems to work fine. Good luck with yours.

Hi. I ordered this futon a little over a few months ago and I have already purchased a new one. The main seat wore to the springs already, the leather has broken open in the same area and the trundle pops out of place very easily and often. Both while being fully elevated and slightly with the easiest tug. I wish I'd never spent this much money on a waste of materials. I would suggest you purchase something else in all honesty. I can email pictures to show you further if you doubt it. (It is really nice the first few days, and lovely to look at before it tears open in the seat.) Worst money I ever threw away

If your question is...would it need an outdoor cover because it will get wet or damp...absolutely yes it would need a cover. It is a futon that is not unlike a big pillow.

I think mijcar has the truth of it. I'm doing a low-budget version of what you describe: I have two of these side by side and the slightly-more expensive rolled futon (from the same company) on top of that. It's very comfortable. I have some movement under the "bedroll" because I'm laying lengthwise on it, but if I understand your plan you intend to be lying "against" the grain, so to speak, widthwise. If so, it should be fine. Actually, once I get a new place with more room I might well do the same thing you suggest. It's a good idea.

I purchased the Chocolate Brown colored futon. It came with a futon cover which surprised me. There is a zipper on one side to remove the current one. I have purchased many futon covers, and don't for see any problems. It is just a standard 8 inch futon.

I guess but it is a very cheap paper/cotton cover. I can't imagine it would survive more than a couple washings. I just got a waterproof cover on Amazon for $24 well worth it. Great mattress i bought 2 and my kids love them.

I have the standard beige cushion covers...they are not overly stiff...I don't have anything to compare it to though

Yes the cover is Polyester and or cotton but it's the actual pillow on 1 side that has the cool part.As for Outlast Cover you'll need to ask the manufactuer as I'm not sure what that is.

This would be great... but you definitely need a duvet cover. This isn't actually covered with cotton, it's more of an insert (like you'd find in a throw pillow). But with my duvet cover, this is the perfect weight and it's not super puffy at all, but still has a nice weight and loft to it (not totally flat). I like to be cooler at night, and I live in southern Louisiana -- and this isn't too hot for me.

I would recommend making a frame. The material is a bit too soft by itself. I made frames and covered them with burlap and they turned out great! Cheers.

haven't had mine a year yet...had mine about 7 months and i love it. Its very stiff though hard to make the futon fold, which is a downer. But, it is very comfortable and i sleep on it every night this is a great buy for the price and quality. You wont be let down other than the folding issue but like i said you will be satisfied with this mattress. Hope this helps you have a great day:)

My best advice would be to maybe try a 3 to 4in topper if your putting it on the futon. When fully aired out this topper is very comfortable on a regular mattress because its not too soft but not hard at all. If your futon is the same as the one i have in my den then not much will make that comfortable enough to sleep on unless you put a complete mattress on it with a mattress topper. So hopefully this response helped you in your shopping experience.

The cover is plastic. The legs could go in the ground but I have mine setting on concrete. There are feet with holes for screws, I anchored mine to boards and have my concrete blocks that I use for shelving setting on them so it has not moved with some very strong wind. I am pleased with it.

If you have a nice thick mattress to distribute the weight a bit, it should be fine, IMO. Super thin futon would probably not be so good... I broke a slat on mine by putting all my weight on the weakest spot 1/4 of the way in from the edge, not a dive onto the bed exactly, but not the gentlest maneuver. We just have a thin futon and a topper. They sent me a new slat and I've been more respectful, so all good.

Email WPIC Store - Customer Service at service2@wpinnacle.com. We just got a replacement cover from them. Our cover lasted three years and it started tearing because our neighbor's cats liked playing on it. Our gazebo is doing great, otherwise. We like it so well that we ordered two covers, just in case because we are confident the frame is going to last for a long time.Maybe we are lucky in our weather, we live in the LA area so we don't experience extreme weather, though the gazebo has done well under strong winds.Good luck!
