Question from DB
Has anyone had experience with furniture by Natural Lee ? They have a line of furniture using organic fabrics & soy foam, which I’ve never heard of before. I understand from a friend that they’re vague about whether their furniture is treated with flame retardants, an important consideration for sensitive people. As many of us are, we’re looking for affordable, comfy, healthy furniture. Thanks for any feedback on this. Dorothy, MA
Debra’s Answer
I went and looked at their website, and it is a bit confusing.
First, the fact that they use the word “natural” in their name is somewhat misleading. Though all the materials have some environmental benefit, some are recycled plastics. While recycled plastics are better for the environment, they aren’t natural by any stretch of the imagination, and I they still outgas like virgin plastic so I wouldn’t call them healthy either.
Still, there are environmental benefits to this line of furniture, which could be appropriate for some people. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone with MCS.
