Quality foams


Leolux furniture comes with a very high level of comfort. Leolux
achieves that by applying a combination of foams depending on
the demands placed upon a certain piece of furniture. Its developers
equip an “active” sofa with foams of greater stiffness, while a
lounge sofa is provided with much softer variants.

Fire-resistance

Leolux furniture conforms to the European standards set down by
the EUFAC directives for fire-resistance; BS 5852-PART 1.
Standard or extra fire-resistant Leolux furniture is developed to meet the most stringent legal requirements in the field of fire safety. The foam materials Leolux uses as standard also satisfy the European regulations. Different standards apply in certain countries, whereby additional fireretardant components in the foam are required by law. Although it results in a different level of comfort, Leolux applies foam provided with the fire-retardant melamine for those countries.
In production, Leolux follows the lead of the laws and standards
that apply in the country a piece of furniture is intended for. If
you choose the fire-resistant foam meeting the so-called “British
Standard” rather than the European standard foam, that is almost
always possible*. Your Leolux advisor will be happy to tell you
more about this.

NB: the comfort level of the fire-retardant foam differs somewhat
from that of the standard foam.
