Upholstery
Now more than 50 styles in eco-friendly upholstery.
We are pleased to announce that the majority of our upholstered sofas and chairs are now certified sustainable by nonprofit organizations, such as the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), which oversee the conservation and responsible social and economic management of more than 150 million acres of the world's forests.
To produce eco-friendly sofas, chairs and home furnishings, we have also taken the important step of minimizing petroleum–based foam in many of our upholstery cushions. Instead, we are using more energy–efficient alternatives such as soy and corn–based foam and fibers—without sacrificing an ounce of the quality or comfort that our furnishings are known for. Most of our upholstered furniture also features suspension systems partially made of recycled steel. And while going green is often associated with higher costs, we are bringing these upgrades to our customers without added expense, even on our most popular Crate and Barrel “classics” that now include environmentally friendly features.
