Accidents happen. The spilled red wine; the puppy on the couch; the infant grandchild. On a futon mattress this can be especially problematic as liquids can quickly soak into the mattress and be nearly impossible to remove.
We now have Mattress Protectors in stock in Twin, Full and Queen sizes. These have elastic gathers on the sides and fit over the futon mattress underneath the cover. They are completely waterproof, keeping liquids from soaking through into your mattress, yet they are breathable, allowing air to move through the mattress. They are also an effective barrier against dust mites. Best of all they can be machine washed and dried. The natural cotton surface is soft and does not rustle as you move on the mattress. Prices start at $29 for a Twin size.
