Great topic. I try and use down or kapok for pillows, but sofas are a hard one to find affordably. I’ve had a woolen mattress for years, would love to try a latex one.
A non-toxic sofa is very expensive. The ingredients, especially the natural latex rubber, and the fact that they are completely handmade makes the opening price points unaffordable for many. However, the few companies making them typically use timeless methods and the pieces last a lifetime since natural rubber doesn’t break down as synthetic foam does. The frames are solid hardwood and not particleboard. So, if one looks at it as an investment in the way that our ancestors did when they bought furniture, it could be justified.
