Are the Materials in IKEA’s Furniture Toxic?
I wish I could give you a straightforward “yes” or “no” answer to whether or not IKEA’s furniture is non-toxic… But like so many other things in life, it’s unfortunately not that simple.
In short: IKEA does have some pretty good policies in place that restrict or ban certain toxic substances (including some of the worst ones, like PFAS). However • September 17, by Lisa Powers We looked at IKEA bed frames in a previous post so it’s a natural follow-up to take a closer look at bedding. After looking at dozens of items the conclusion is the same; IKEA takes admirable steps to limit the use of harsh chemicals but in most cases the products are not completely non-toxic. This may be acceptable for some people in certain applications. I recommend taking extra steps to find truly natural products for the bedroom because we spend at least 7 hours (hopefully!) in it every night.

From bringing colour to textiles and adding texture to materials to joining parts together, giving them a shape or creating a protective layer on products to help them last longer. In working with chemicals, we ask ourselves if the chemical is needed, if there are better alternatives, and if not, is it still worth including. Many IKEA chemical requirements go beyond legal demands, and we often phase out chemicals that are suspected of being harmful in advance of legislation. At IKEA, we draw on over 80 years of experience of everyday life at home to make sure that our products are safe and healthy to use. Our decisions and requirements are based on facts and science. We test our products at our test centres in Älmhult, Sweden and Shanghai, China, as well as other independent accredited test labs around the world. To guide us in our work with chemicals, we created the IKEA Chemical Strategy in The five key objectives of our Chemical Strategy that we abide by include:A Closer Look at IKEA Bedding
