eco sofas
I think the idea to reuse older sofas and other upholstered furniture is great; however, I don't understand why you stop at telling people to avoid PBDE's (found in fire retardants) and not ask them to avoid the other 8,000 chemicals normally used in producing upholstery fabric, furniture (in glues, etc.) and in the foam that is often used in pillow filling. These chemicals include formaldehye (often!) as well as many that have been proven to be harmful to human health (from causing rashes and headaches to cancer). If you do reuse an older sofa, please search out toxin free fabrics and fill.On Umbra on couches posted 3 years, 4 months ago 6 Responses
