Question from Cathy
Dear Debra,
Thank you very much for all the information you provide on your website. I have a question: I just bought a sleep sofa from Jennifer Convertibles. I have recently read alot about flame retardants and their effect on health. Is there any way to tell if something, e.g. a couch, has been treated with flame retardants? Thank you very much!
Debra’s Answer
You can pretty much assume that most mattresses and stuffed furniture sold today has been treated with flame retardants unless it specifically states that it hasn’t been.
To be sure, check with the manufacturer.
