The Cutting Table · a common question

Is the kids' floor sofa okay for a playroom, and is there any flame retardant in it?

Also asked as:Is the filling a child-safe material?Will it work in a playroom?

Every parent who ever sat on my porch asked the same thing before a toddler climbed on something new: what's inside it?

The quick answer

The foam is standard furniture-grade foam with no added flame retardants, the workshop says, and the fabrics come from a mill certified to OEKO-TEX Standard 100 (03.T.3239). The standard fabric isn't treated to be fire-retardant; fire-retardant fabrics are available if your setting requires them. The play couch comes in corduroy, natural fabrics can replace it, and many families use it in playrooms.

What's inside the foam

Here is the plain answer I'd give you on the porch steps.

The foam inside the kids' floor sofa is standard furniture-grade foam, and the workshop says no flame retardants are added to it. If you want documents in hand for the foam, ask for them before you order. The flame-retardant-free Pattern explains what to ask and why.

What's in the corduroy, and what can replace it

The fabrics come from a mill certified to OEKO-TEX Standard 100 (03.T.3239), including the corduroy the play couch wears as standard. The standard fabric isn't treated to be fire-retardant. If your setting calls for a fire-retardant fabric, the workshop has them; say so before you order.

Would you rather skip corduroy? Natural fabrics can replace it, and the workshop shares those options when you ask. The OEKO-TEX Pattern explains what that label covers.

Five questions before a toddler climbs aboard

  • Is anything added to the foam? Here, the workshop says no flame retardants.
  • Where does the fabric come from? a mill certified to OEKO-TEX Standard 100 (03.T.3239).
  • Is the standard fabric treated? No, it isn't fire-retardant.
  • Is a natural cover available? Yes, in place of corduroy on the play couch.

Kids and dogs are the real quality control

Many families put these in playrooms, kids' rooms and play corners, and they get jumped on, napped on and built into forts. For a couch that already takes a beating, there is also a quilted, reversible sofa topper that machine-washes at 86°F (30°C). The kids' floor sofa size guide helps you pick the size. What's the sharpest corner in your playroom, neighbor?
