Children's Factory manufactures all of the products we carry in their plant in St. Louis, Missouri. Filled with shredded fire retardant virgin foam that meets CA TB117 fire specification. No lead or latex is used in these products. Children's Factory uses virgin (not previously used) materials to ensure top quality. Cuddle-Ups are covered with polyester fabric. This material is treated with a stain resistant finish and can be surfaced cleaned or the cover zipped off and thrown in the washing machine/dryer using very low heat. The inside core of Children's Factory's foam products is virgin urethane foam that meets all environmental and California Fire Code Requirements. Children's Factory buys these quality materials in large quantity and fabricates all pieces in their own plant under exacting quality-control standards. Inner core for the Cuddle-Ups uses this foam shredded to make for nesting and changing surfaces.
