The sofa is going where the baby naps.* Also asked as: What is the OEKO-TEX number of the product?; Is the outer fabric OEKO-TEX certified? > **The quick answer:** The sofa and cushion fabrics come from a mill certified to OEKO-TEX Standard 100 (03.T.3239), and the certificate can be checked on the official OEKO-TEX site, which lists the manufacturer, scope and validity. The workshop shares the certificate on request. The standard fabric is not treated to be fire-retardant; asked about flame retardants or a Prop 65 label, the workshop pointed to the certification. ![Navy corduroy kids floor sofa with wedge backrest, cloud and star pillows in a nursery with star decals and building blocks](https://cushionguide.com/media/kids-floor-sofas/navy-corduroy-kids-floor-sofa-cloud-star-nursery-1600.webp "A deep navy floor sofa gives a pale nursery a strong anchor, softened by a sherpa cloud and a blue star.") ## Key facts - The fabrics come from a mill certified to OEKO-TEX Standard 100 (03.T.3239). - The certificate can be verified on the official OEKO-TEX site. - That listing shows the manufacturer, the scope and the validity. - The workshop shares the certificate on request. - The standard fabric is not treated to be fire-retardant. - Fire-retardant fabrics have been offered on request. - Cover fabrics are heavy upholstery grade, with a stated minimum weight of about 7.4 oz per square yard (250 g/m²). - Standard seat foam is furniture-grade polyurethane at 32 density, about 2.0 lb/ft³, and the workshop states it is not FR-certified. - A fabric sample lets you check the cloth in hand; swatches run about 4 x 4 to 6 x 6 in (10 x 10 to 15 x 15 cm). ## “Is the outer fabric OEKO-TEX certified?” Yes, neighbor. The fabrics come from a mill certified to OEKO-TEX Standard 100 (03.T.3239), and the workshop sends the certificate if you ask. Don't take a PDF on faith: type its number into the official OEKO-TEX site, where the listing shows the manufacturer, what the certificate covers and how long it is valid. The [OEKO-TEX Pattern](https://cushionguide.com/guides/oeko-tex-standard-100-cushions/) explains what the label does and doesn't cover, and the [glossary entry](https://cushionguide.com/glossary/#oeko-tex-standard-100) keeps it short. ## “Then is it treated with flame retardants?” Here is the plain truth. When a buyer in the US asked, the reply pointed to the OEKO-TEX certification rather than a separate statement about treatments. What the workshop has said elsewhere is that the standard fabric isn't treated to be fire-retardant, and fire-retardant fabrics have been offered on request. If fire rules matter in your house, read [TB 117-2013 explained](https://cushionguide.com/guides/tb-117-2013-cushion-fire-rules/) and [how to check for added flame retardants](https://cushionguide.com/guides/flame-retardant-free-cushions/) before you order. ## “And the Prop 65 label?” The same buyer asked whether the sofa carries a California Prop 65 warning. Again the answer was the certification, with the certificate offered on request. A [Prop 65 warning](https://cushionguide.com/guides/prop-65-warning-cushions/) and an OEKO-TEX label say different things, so it's fair to ask about both. On a porch, you trust what you can see and sit on. For a nursery, the paperwork comes first.
