Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Flame retardants (brominated or phosphorus-based), Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and Coating degradation and microplastic shedding on the Bob's Discount Furniture and not on the Thomasville Furniture.
  • We flag Flame retardants (chemical identity unknown), Formaldehyde in adhesives and resins and Volatile organic compounds (VOC) from padding, fabric dyes, and finishes on the Thomasville Furniture and not on the Bob's Discount Furniture.
  • The Bob's Discount Furniture is Polyester upholstery fabric where the Thomasville Furniture is upholstered sofa, typically fabric or microfiber, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
  • These two are level, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.

Both products run through the same public rubric: materials, coatings, brand disclosure, lab findings, and recalls, plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis. Grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests. How grades work →
