# Why the Oslo Sofa Uses OEKO-TEX Certified Fabric **By Daniel Huang** · 2026-07-07 # What OEKO-TEX Standard 100 Means for Your Oslo Sofa Choosing a sofa is about more than colour and comfort. It is also about what the fabric is made of and how it has been tested before it reaches your living room. That is why the **Oslo Modular Sofa** is upholstered in fabric that carries the [OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification](https://simpelhaus.com.au/pages/oeko-tex-certified-fabric), one of the world's most recognised textile safety standards.

They are sat on, lounged on, napped on and shared with family, kids and pets almost every day. Because upholstery fabric is in such regular contact with skin and clothing, fabric testing is worth paying attention to when choosing a new sofa. OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification means a textile has been independently tested for harmful substances against strict criteria. It is not a claim about style or softness — it is a safety credential that gives you clearer information about what you are bringing into your home. You can read the full explanation on our [OEKO-TEX Standard 100 Fabric page](https://simpelhaus.com.au/pages/oeko-tex-certified-fabric). ## Why We Chose Certified Fabric for Oslo The Oslo Modular Sofa is designed for relaxed, everyday living — a spacious chaise layout, a soft rounded profile and a low-line silhouette that suits modern Australian homes. Alongside the design, we wanted the fabric itself to give customers added confidence, which is why Oslo's upholstery is OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified. It has been tested for harmful substances, so families can lounge, relax and entertain with one less thing to worry about. ## Two Certified Colourways to Choose From ### Oslo in Raw Cotton The [Oslo Modular Sofa in Raw Cotton](https://simpelhaus.com.au/products/oslo-deep-seat-modular-sofa-raw-cotton) brings a warm, natural neutral tone to your living space. It pairs beautifully with timber furniture, coastal styling and Scandinavian-inspired interiors, and its 280gsm textured fabric is soft to the touch while still carrying that OEKO-TEX Standard 100 tested reassurance.

The [Oslo Modular Sofa in Cosy Silver](https://simpelhaus.com.au/products/oslo-modular-sofa-cosy-silver) features a soft, mixed-tone grey fabric that works effortlessly with warm timber, light interiors and contemporary living rooms. Like Raw Cotton, it is OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified and finished in the same premium 280gsm heavyweight fabric.

Certification confirms the textile has been tested for harmful substances under strict criteria. It does not automatically mean a fabric is organic, natural or recycled, and it does not replace normal care instructions. The most accurate way to describe it is simply: _tested for harmful substances_. You can read more on our [dedicated OEKO-TEX information page](https://simpelhaus.com.au/pages/oeko-tex-certified-fabric). ## Comfort Beyond the Fabric Certified fabric is only part of the story. Every Oslo sofa is also built with our Pocket Spring Support System for a more responsive, supportive sit compared with foam-only compressed sofas, and it arrives in compact vacuum-compressed boxes designed to make delivery easier through doorways, stairs and tighter access points. ## Find Your Oslo Whether you lean toward the warmth of Raw Cotton or the softness of Cosy Silver, both Oslo Modular Sofas combine relaxed everyday comfort with fabric you can feel good about living with. - [Shop Oslo Modular Sofa – Raw Cotton](https://simpelhaus.com.au/products/oslo-deep-seat-modular-sofa-raw-cotton) - [Shop Oslo Modular Sofa – Cosy Silver](https://simpelhaus.com.au/products/oslo-modular-sofa-cosy-silver) - [Learn more about OEKO-TEX Standard 100](https://simpelhaus.com.au/pages/oeko-tex-certified-fabric) --- > Source: [SimpelHaus](https://simpelhaus.com.au/blogs/news/oslo-sofa-oeko-tex-certified-fabric)
