      Our Commitment to Safety

      the magnets

      FORT’s magnets are held in place by a dual-layered support patch with stitching & adhesive on the inside of the cushion cover.

      the zipper

      The magnets are located inside the FORT cushion cover, which has a secure zipper with a locking hood to prevent children from reaching it. 

      foam & fabric

      Our foam is compliant with the highest standards for foam safety. This means it is made without ozone depleters, PBDEs, TDCPP or TCEP flame retardants, mercury, lead and other heavy metals, formaldehyde, phthalates and is low VOC for healthy indoor air

      Our fabric is made from polyurethane leather and passes all US safety standard tests for dangerous chemicals.
