In short, the answer is yes, but you’ll have to make sure you get the right kind. This is a good thing to know about futon covers. The right kind is a polyethylene material that is a few mils thick. This will provide for the best protection from off gassing caused by your mattress. The best first step you can take prior to buying this mattress would be to check how it was made. It is suggested to stay away from mattresses that have this high off gassing quality. Next, you can opt to buy a floor model mattress that has likely been out for some time. This will ensure that any off gassing it will do is likely already done.
Apart from these suggestions, it would also be wise to let you futon sit outside (weather permitting of course) or in a covered garage where the off gassing can occur outside your living space prior to use. This is definitely a good idea if your futon mattress is for your baby or any aged child. These gasses can have health consequences that can affect anyone, but especially people with more sensitive bodies.
