AHH Spot Bean Bag Chairs
Meets UFAC Standard
ahhhh...that spot's safe!
Founded in 1978, the Upholstered Furniture Action Council had a mission: to make upholstered furniture resistant to ignition from smoldering cigarettes. According to the UFAC, this is the leading cause of upholstery fires in U.S. households. Since its inception, fires in the home started from smoldering ignition have been reduced substantially. The UFAC reports that the latest figures show a 79.3% decline in the number of upholstered furniture fires started by cigarettes.
To participate in the UFAC Voluntary Action Program, upholstered furniture manufacturers (bean bag chairs are included) must agree to make their furniture to comply with the UFAC construction criteria. To classify bean bag chair materials, a test method is used to define acceptable performance.
The UFAC test method used to classify fabrics establishes the performance level of upholstery fabrics in contact with polyurethane foam, with respect to cigarette ignition. Our bean bag chairs are filled with polystyrene, not polyurethane foam. True, but we make sure we comply with UFAC standards to make a safer product. ("Polyurethane" foam is used in foam bean bag chairs.)
Bean bag chair cover and liner fabrics which meet the requirements of this UFAC test method may be labeled as UFAC Class I.
Ahh Spot bean bag chairs are all UFAC Class 1 compliant.
