What AllModern Miller 84'' Sofa Fabric is made of, ingredients and materials
The Miller sofa is upholstered in a polyester-blend fabric, the industry standard for residential upholstery due to durability and stain resistance. Polyester textiles can off-gas volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during production and initial use, particularly in enclosed spaces. The fabric's stain resistance and softness likely derive from chemical finishes applied during manufacturing, which may include flame retardants or water/oil repellents, categories not disclosed by AllModern for this product.
What’s concerning
Category baseline
The starting point for this type of product, before anything specific to this product is counted.
No PFAS disclosure
No public statement from the brand about PFAS in this product.
Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) Off-Gassing
Polyester upholstery typically off-gasses residual solvents and finishing chemicals in the first days to weeks after manufacture and delivery. AllModern does not specify VOC content or off-gassing testing; emission levels are unknown but assumed to be within regulatory tolerance.
Flame retardants
US upholstered furniture is subject to flame safety standards (16 CFR 1633) that often require chemical flame retardants in the foam or fabric. AllModern does not disclose which flame retardant formulation is used (brominated, organophosphate, etc.), making comparison to lower-chemical alternatives impossible.
Source, EPA ↗What’s reassuring
Base material not linked to PFAS
The main material recorded for this product is not one associated with PFAS.
Heavy metals
No documented contamination or use of restricted azo dyes or heavy metal colorants in AllModern textiles has been reported. Standard polyester upholstery dyes are generally compliant with global textile safety regulations, though AllModern does not publish dye composition testing.
Source, FDA ↗Formaldehyde / VOCs
Formaldehyde resins are used in some fabric finishing processes for wrinkle or water resistance. No published testing or formaldehyde levels are available for this product; modern upholstery finishes typically use lower-formaldehyde or formaldehyde-free binders, but disclosure is absent.

The brand's record and disclosure
AllModern, owned by Wayfair, does not publicly disclose fabric chemical treatments, certifications (such as OEKO-TEX or Greenguard), or flame retardant formulations for this sofa. The brand maintains a silent stance on PFAS use in textiles and does not advertise third-party testing. No recalls or safety controversies specific to AllModern upholstery are documented in public records, though the company's transparency on chemical inputs ranks below competitors like Article or Blu Dot.
How it compares in its category
Standard polyester upholstery like this Miller sofa carries moderate, unexceptional chemical exposure relative to the market. Competitors offering OEKO-TEX or Cradle to Cradle certified fabrics provide documented assurance of restricted chemical use; AllModern does not market such certifications. Natural fiber alternatives (wool, linen blends) typically carry lower VOC and flame retardant loads but cost significantly more. This product sits in the middle tier, lower concern than untested budget upholstery, less transparent than premium certified options.
If you buy it
Air out the sofa in a well-ventilated space for 48-72 hours after delivery to reduce initial VOC off-gassing. Avoid placing it in small, poorly ventilated bedrooms or nurseries during the first week. Use a breathable fabric protector rather than spray-on chemical treatments. Vacuum regularly with a HEPA filter to reduce dust and potential flame retardant particle accumulation. Replace or deep-clean the cushion covers every 3-5 years or if staining becomes visible, as chemical finishes degrade over time.
