Question from KSM

Hi Debra,

I recently received a used sofa from a family member. The sofa is about five years old. I am wondering how safe this sofa is and should I keep it. The tag reads:

Body

Those materials do not sound very healthy to me! Would it make a differance if I put a slipcover made out of organic material on it?

I have young children so I want to make sure that that they are safe.

Thanks for your help and all of the wonderful inforamtion you share !

Debra’s Answer

These materials are NOT healthy. And a slipcover will do nothing to block any fumes that may be emitting from them. I’d advise not to use this sofa.
