This is a well-made, substantial but soft-to-the-touch cover. The reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that it was difficult to put on, because contrary to the description on the website, which says that it's zippered on three sides, it is zippered only on TWO sides. Our queen-size futon is very heavy, and it took my husband and me about 45 minutes to wrangle it into the cover. It does look nice now that it's on--I just hope we don't have to take it off and put it back on anytime soon!
