Question from sara

Hello – where did you get your sofa cushions? Coil spring w/organic cotton? I’ve heard that children with allergies should not use organic latex cushions due to potential sensitization due to offgassing, especially if they are allergic to avocado, kiwi, milk, etc.

Debra’s Answer

I had mine custom-made.

I bought an old sofa at an auction and had it all stripped down, then repadded with organic cotton batting and covered with 100% linen fabric (this was before organic upholstery fabric was available).

Your upholsterer should be able to get coil spring cushions for you.
