RV Mattress Covers - An Inexpensive Way to Protect Your Bedding

Tired of sleeping with road dust and animal hair when you camp in your RV or camper trailer? Do you miss your vacuum while you're on the road? Think of a futon cover as a bedding protector and you are on the road to a healthier night's sleep.

With one effort, you can both keep your bedding much cleaner and add color and style to your camper by sealing it inside a futon cover when you're not sleeping in it. Futon covers seal in a mattress and bedding (sheets and a blanket beneath) with a heavy-duty, three-sided zipper that zips closed by day. Futon covers are extremely easy to use. 

Or blend your new custom mattress into your existing RV/camper décor by buying a fashionable futon cover and zipping it closed over your sheets and bedding.

Futon Covers will secure your bed from blowing dust, dog hair, cookie crumbs, and a host of other undesirables. Futon covers have sturdy three-sided zippers with overlapping fabric to protect your skin from the feel of the zipper.

Whether you have a single mattress or two or three mattress sections that combine to form a double or queen-size bed, you can cover them with a single futon cover to protect everything underneath. If you leave your camper mattress extended, this is the trick that will protect your precious night's sleep! By keeping dirt, dust, and animal hair out of your bedding, you will limit your exposure to allergens that can destroy your ability to breathe and sleep comfortably.

Even if you have a custom-size mattress in your RV, futon covers are the answer. Futon covers can be made to fit virtually any size mattress. Start by selecting a futon cover that is close to the standard size twin, full, or queen and pay a small custom fee, usually $20-$30, to have the cover sized to fit your bed. Of course, this can be done in any home as well, but travelers often forget that they can purchase these futon cover "bedding protectors" for any size camper mattress. Remember to measure carefully; custom-sized covers may not be returned.

Leave all your blankets on your bed and zip them inside too! Just add an additional inch of loft (thickness) to your futon cover to accommodate heavier bedding. The cost for additional loft in the cover itself is typically only $10-$12 for the custom sizing.

Futon stores on the Internet offer futon covers in nearly a thousand colors, textures, weaves, and fabrics (even microfibers, faux-suedes, and faux leathers). Online retail stores have the ability to buy from many different futon cover manufacturers across the country, which means that you have a huge selection from which to choose. Change the cover and change the color scheme in an instant. Futon covers come in every fabric from sturdy twills to beautiful upholstery fabrics that will perk up Do yourself and your family a favor this summer -- keep bedding cleaner and enjoy a better night's sleep!
