Brenalee 93" Performance Fabric Slipcover Sofa vs Thomasville Slide Jack Sleeper Sofa: which is safer?

Where these two actually differ

• We flag Flame retardant chemicals (brominated or phosphorus-based), Formaldehyde or formaldehyde-releasing resins in finish, Volatile organic compound (VOC) off-gassing and Azo dyes or restricted colorants on the Macy's 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 Macy's Furniture.
• The Macy's Furniture is performance polyester blend 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.
