Onyx is a semi-precious stone that is used in making jewelry and precious trinkets. Because of its beautiful and translucent colors, it was also traditionally used in decorating church altars, floors and walls. Countertop makers have taken advantage of its unique ability of reflecting light by making decorative onyx countertops. Although onyx is basically a stone material, it is not as hard as granite therefore it can’t be used for heavy duty purpose. Its calcium based composition makes it easy for liquid and dirt to seep in. But for decorative functions, no other countertop can beat onyx countertops. Their colors brighten up when light is directly focused on their surface elevating the spirits in the room where they are installed.

As a rule of thumb, you should try buying the same brand as your futon. If this is not possible, look for futon covers that say it is compatible to your futon’s brand. If also this is not possible, buy a futon cover that measures an inch more than your futon. Also, it is a plus if the online store offers an exchange policy.
