How to Swap to Non-Toxic outdoor sofas & loveseats:
Here's how to swap to non-toxic outdoor sofas & loveseats:
What to know about outdoor sofas and loveseats
Outdoor sofas and loveseats are made from a mix of frame materials, cushion foams, and fabric covers — each of which can affect what you're sitting on. Because outdoor furniture often sits in direct sun and heat, materials can off-gas more readily, and treated fabrics or cushion fills may release residues onto skin and clothing.
- Cushion foam and fabric treatments matter most since these are what your skin and body press against for extended periods.
- Pay extra attention to pieces used frequently, like a main seating area where your family gathers daily.
Review what you already have
Check the tags, labels, or product listings for your current outdoor sofa or loveseat. Look for information about the cushion fill, fabric type, and any treatments or coatings applied to the frame or upholstery.
- Look for mentions of stain-resistant, water-resistant, or UV-resistant treatments on the cushion covers — these often involve chemical coatings applied to the fabric.
- Check whether the cushion foam is conventional polyurethane or if it is described as CertiPUR-US certified, which indicates lower levels of certain additives.
Use your current outdoor sofa more comfortably
If replacing your outdoor furniture isn't practical right now, a few simple steps can reduce what your skin comes into contact with. These are especially worth doing if your cushions are new or have a noticeable chemical smell.
- Remove cushion covers and wash them before first use, and air out new cushions in a well-ventilated area or direct sunlight for several days before sitting on them.
- Use a throw blanket or washable slipcover as a barrier between your skin and treated cushion fabric, especially for young children who may press bare skin against it.
Choose cleaner replacements
When shopping for a new outdoor sofa or loveseat, focus on the cushion materials and fabric finishes first. Look for pieces that use simpler, less heavily treated materials without sacrificing durability.
- Look for cushions filled with CertiPUR-US certified foam or natural fills, and fabrics that are solution-dyed rather than heavily coated with chemical finishes for stain or water resistance.
