When it comes to furniture, the one piece that gets the most wear and tear in our home is our sofa. And it has seen better days – we really need a new one. As a holiday gift, Mr. Sweet Greens and I decided to purchase a new eco-friendly sofa. We did a lot of research and decided we wanted to find an eco-friendly sectional sofa that was made locally and most importantly affordable. I was a little surprised that finding those three qualities was a little tough. I was able to find a couple of companies that made eco-friendly and affordable sectionals, but they were in California. It wouldn’t exactly be eco-friendly to ship a sectional all of the way to Florida.
Then, I remembered that Pottery Barn makes all of their furniture in North Carolina. And since everything that we have ever purchased from Pottery Barn seems to last forever, I crossed my fingers and checked to see if they had any eco-friendy sections. Guess what? Their PB Comfort Slipcovered Sofa Collection are made using sustainably harvested wood, have recycled steel springs, soy based cushions, recycled patting, and are affordable too! [We found ours on sale for $2000] And since all of their sofas are slipcovered it will be easy to clean and in the future instead of purchasing a new sofa, we can simply purchase a new slipcover if needed.
Have you found other eco-friendly section sofas that you would recommend?
