Buying upholstered furniture


Fire safety

fire resistant frontDomestic upholstered furniture must meet fire safety standards, which cover the fabrics, foam fillings and non-foam fillings.

When purchasing any upholstered furniture look for the display label – a swing ticket attached to the furniture, which should be easily visible. The permanent label may be located under a loose seat cushion or if the upholstery is fixed, secured to the base of the item or located at the junction between the seat and back.

For more detailed information read our articles on the upholstered furniture regulations.
