DOWN 2 EARTH UPGRADE
In addition to the standard world-friendly components listed above, you can elevated your commitment to sustainable practices by requesting C.R. Laine's optional down2earth cushion upgrade which adds the following components to the standards listed above:
down2earth Seat Cushions: a core of high-resiliency bio-based foam that replaces at least 20% of the petroleum based contents with natural plant based ingredients such as soy or corn, is wrapped in a layer of fiber primarily made from post-consumer regenerated fibers, and production technology and contain organic, halogen-free
fire retardants.
down2earth Back Cushions and Throw Pillows: The backs and throws are filled with 100% post-consumer regenerated fiber, which is then blown into a 100% cotton casing. These regenerated fibers begin as recycled plastic drink bottles that are reprocessed into fluffy fiber.
