Shelton Sofa Blue/Brown vs Thomasville Slide Jack Sleeper Sofa: which is safer?

Where these two actually differ

• We flag Flame retardants (brominated/chlorinated) in foam cushioning, PFAS in stain and water repellent fabric treatments, Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and formaldehyde from foam, adhesives, and batting and Microplastics from synthetic fabric deterioration on the Ethan Allen 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 Ethan Allen.
• The Ethan Allen is upholstered fabric with stain/water treatment where the Thomasville Furniture is upholstered sofa, typically fabric or microfiber, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
• The gap is 45 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Thomasville Furniture is the one to buy.
