The hand sewn tufts and edge seams will be in the same color as the cover of the futon.
Futons are quilted mattresses so you cannot remove the cover. Possible stains will have to be removed with a stain remover. To protect the Futon from stains and dust, we recommend to add the removable cover which opens on three sides. You will find this in the Accessories section. The removable cover is made of the same material as the futon cover and can be ordered in a different color.
Further we recommend to flip the futon over from time to time, so that the cotton layers maintain their density. The futon should also occasionally be rolled up and left to air out, so that it can let out any possible humidity which may have been absorbed over time. It's best to repeat this operation at least at every change of season.
In Arpel we do not use recycled cotton for the batting of our futons. With recycled cotton we wouldn't be able to guarantee the desired quality of the fibre, as it is often too worn out. Arpel mattresses are made of high-quality virgin cotton and with proper care they will last up to 10 years.
