What American Leather Revere Today Sleeper is made of, ingredients and materials
The Revere Today is a sleeper sofa with a hardwood frame, high-density polyurethane foam core, and upholstered fabric covering. The foam cushioning and fabric choice directly affect off-gassing risk and flame retardant exposure. American Leather does not publicly disclose the specific fire-safety treatment chemistry or foam formulation, which leaves chemical composition opaque to consumers.
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.
Flame retardants
US furniture regulations require flame-resistance; American Leather does not disclose whether halogenated or non-halogenated retardants are used. Both classes carry potential skin/inhalation exposure, especially during break-in off-gassing.
Source, EPA ↗VOC and aldehyde off-gassing from foam and adhesives
Polyurethane foam and fabric glues are common sources of formaldehyde and volatile organic compounds. No third-party off-gassing data is publicly available for this model; off-gassing typically decreases after 1-2 weeks but may persist longer in enclosed spaces.
Formaldehyde / VOCs
The upholstery material composition is not specified in public product descriptions. If synthetic blends are used, azo dyes and wrinkle-resist resin finishes could be present without explicit labeling.
Source, ATSDR ↗Foam degradation and microparticle shedding over time
High-density polyurethane foam breaks down with age and mechanical stress, potentially releasing small particles into indoor air. Durability and degradation timeline depend on foam density and cover quality, both undisclosed.
What’s reassuring
Base material not linked to PFAS
The main material recorded for this product is not one associated with PFAS.
Lead
No recalls or reports of heavy metal contamination in American Leather upholstery are on record. Reputable fabric suppliers typically avoid legacy pigments, but absence of testing disclosure means risk cannot be ruled out.

The brand's record and disclosure
American Leather is an established US manufacturer with a reputation for quality construction and customer service. However, the brand does not publicly disclose flame retardant chemistry, foam suppliers, or third-party testing results for VOC or chemical content. No major recalls or chemical controversies are on record for this model, but silence on formulation is typical of the upholstered furniture industry rather than a sign of low-risk materials.
How it compares in its category
This product sits in the mid-to-premium segment of upholstered sleepers and is well-regarded for durability and comfort. Most competitors in this price range also withhold detailed chemical disclosures. Brands with explicit certifications (CertiPUR-US for foam, Oeko-Tex for fabric) offer more transparency; American Leather's lack of public certification claims is not unusual but represents a competitive weakness in safety-conscious purchasing.
If you buy it
Air the sofa in a well-ventilated space for 48-72 hours after delivery to reduce new-furniture off-gassing. Avoid exposing it to heat sources or direct sunlight, which can degrade foam and fabric coatings over time. Vacuum and spot-clean with mild soap and water; do not use harsh chemicals that may interact with underlying treatments. Consider requesting the manufacturer's safety data sheet (SDS) for flame retardants and foam additives if your household has sensitivities.
