how do you handle sheets and stuff with a futon?

[dolph]

i thought the idea was to have it be a couch when you're not sleeping, and a bed when you are. but what kind of sheets do you put on it? and do you just take them off when you're not sleeping on it? it seems like it'd be a pain in the ass to take them on/off every day, or are there "special" futon sheets that are better suited to futons (as opposed to regular beds)?

When I was living with my parents, I used 2 flat sheets and just took them off and threw them behind the futon when I folded it.
Nowadays, I just use a standard fitted sheet and leave it on whether it's folded or not. Special "futon sheets" and slipcovers are hard to get off easily, and also kind of expensive. Not really worth it.
