Question from Stacey
I am searching for affordable, basic platform bed frames for my organic mattresses. I came across one that is “formaldehyde free” but uses an “oil based polyurethane” which “takes a few weeks to outgas,” according to the website (Lifekind). Would you recommend these as safe, or recommend something else… Thanks!
Debra’s Answer
I don’t recommend oil-based polyurethane. Water-based polyurethane would be OK.
I would suggest that you find your local unfinished furniture store and see what they have to offer. Buy an unfinished frame and finish it yourself with a finish from Vermont Natural Coatings.
White Lotus Home has some good basic options.
