Ohio State University Full-size Futon Cover

We purchased this futon cover because we thought that it would be as bright and vibrant in OSU colors as the pic suggested. It was great upon arrival, but even following the washing instructions did not help preserve the colors so it looks kind of faded even though we had never used it before. The important point is that my husband liked it. A good thing is that it is easy to put on the futon because the zipper unzips all the way minus a bit at the top so that made putting it on easily a one-woman job. Considering the fading, I would have no problem paying maybe half price for this. I say that because we have a futon cover that's 7 years old, it's black with flowers, and still looks like it looked when we bought it despite the multiple sittings and abuse it endured through 2 colleges and 3 moves. Oh well. If someone finds a better one, please let me know but after 3 days of searching I am pretty sure this is the only company that makes them and the only one you can get. We will be on the market for a new one the second this one turns pink or rather gets anymore whitish fading spots on it. Go BUCKS!
