There is a reason why Ashley Furniture is the world’s number one furniture brand. It sets standards it never compromises on and continually raises the bar. The customer always comes first, which is why great attention is paid to home safety, not only to functionality.
– All Ashley upholstered products comply with all regulations of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), which oversees standards designed to reduce the flammability of upholstered furniture and prohibits the use of materials that are hazardous to health, such as coatings containing lead.
– All Ashley upholstered products comply with all regulations of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which oversees restrictions on the use of toxic chemicals, such as the prohibition of formaldehyde in wood products.
– All Ashley upholstered products comply with the regulations of both U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which govern responsible product labelling, such as indicating the country of origin on packaging or identifying the use of second-hand materials – while Ashley uses exclusively new materials.
– All Ashley upholstered products comply with the State of California requirements relating to the flammability of upholstered furniture. These regulations govern flammability, prescribe certain types of testing and product labelling, and require labels stating whether a product contains added flame-retardant chemicals.
– The Ashley brand places a strong emphasis on comfort.
– Ashley is part of a long tradition of American furniture manufacturing and style.
– American furniture is recognisable for its solid and robust construction, pronounced rounded lines, symmetry, generous proportions and comfort.
– Ashley products and similar styles can be seen in Hollywood films, North American television series, on platforms such as Netflix and YouTube, as well as in international interior design projects.
– Ashley thoroughly tests its products in laboratories. Certain tests include, among others: textile abrasion and pilling resistance testing, flammability testing, foam testing, oscillatory abrasion testing, dynamic seam fatigue testing, wooden frame testing, stability and tip-over resistance testing, wood strength testing, fabric colourfastness testing, as well as tensile strength testing of spring-and-foam combinations.
– The United States, the State of California and Australia have some of the most comprehensive and detailed consumer protection laws in the world when it comes to furniture. Ashley exceeds the legal requirements and regulations necessary to operate in these markets and supplies exactly the same furniture to all countries, including those where consumer protection regulations are less stringent than in the U.S. and Australia.
– Air-dried hardwood is used in all key structural areas, or so-called high-stress points, ensuring the longevity of the sofa frame.
– Premium oriented strand board (Premium OSB) of the highest quality is used in the remaining areas. It is twice as strong as plywood and resistant to warping.
– In areas exposed to heavy loads, mortise-and-tenon joints are used, a woodworking technique that has been employed by craftsmen for more than 7,000 years.
– A flatter surface, compared with springs that bow in the middle, reduces the gap between the top of the front rail and the underside of the cushion.
– Improves the durability of the seating support system.
– The support layer performs exceptionally well during normal use while providing additional support under heavy concentrated loads.
– All materials, such as springs, deteriorate to some extent over time and through use. This support layer deteriorates significantly less and continues to provide seating support at the end of its service life that is similar to when it was completely new.
– Reduces and standardises components.
– Improves ergonomics.
– Upholstery fabrics are tear-resistant.
– Abrasion-resistant.
– Colourfast.
– The fabric is solution-dyed for high UV resistance.
– Cushions are made from 1.8 H.R. density foam, improving durability as well as comfort, while also allowing the cushions to adapt more effectively to the contours of the body.
