Are Williams-Sonoma, Inc. furniture collections made with fire retardants?
California law, which is followed by most states, set a standard for flammability known
as TB-117 (2013). While the foam in of our upholstered products does not contain
intentionally added flame retardants to meet this standard, some of our fabrics still do.
This is because those fabrics cannot pass the new TB-117 (2013) standard without them.
We are currently looking at alternatives for those fabrics. All furniture manufactured after
January 1, 2015 will contain a tag indicating to our customers whether an upholstered
furniture item contains any flame retardants.

Can you buy replacement cushions if they lose their shape?
Technically yes, you can, however, we advise against this. One, if a customer is ordering
an insert, it is very hard for a person to properly remove and then replace an insert. Our
vendors use a machine to do this – it is not manually done. Two, if a customer orders a
cushion with a cushion cover, there is a high possibility that the cushion cover will be
slightly different shade of color then the rest of the sofa/sectional as we no longer have
control over what dye lot the fabric came from.
