It Isn’t Easy Being Green…Well Actually It Is

Goods and services that inflict minimal harm on the environment are gaining the attention of consumers as they continue to find ways to conserve the earth's resources and protect the planet from further damage. Eco-friendly furniture is becoming more and more popular, but what is, and what does it mean?

While there are currently no industry standards, many companies are now making a conscious effort to do business in an environmentally friendly manner. This not only includes how the products are made, but how they operate on a day-to-day basis. Klaussner Home Furnishings is one of these companies.

Proactive in implementing practices and procedures to protect the environment, Klaussner has been making eco-friendly furniture for many years. Frames for their furniture pieces are crafted from hardwood and engineered panels from suppliers that are a part of the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI), a program that is committed to the perpetual growing and harvesting of trees and protecting wildlife, plants, soil and water quality.

Klaussner uses heavy gauge tempered steel springs that are made from recycled steel to create a seating system that is eco-friendly. Chairs and sofas are comfortably padded with BioComfort Foam, made from BiOH™ Polyols, which includes the renewable resource, soybean oil. They also offer a wide array of fabric selections, including several natural and organic fabrics.

Offering a range of products for the bedroom, dining room and living room, Klaussner Home Furnishings is an eco-friendly furniture company that is not only good for the environment, but good for consumers too.
