Furniture shopping is a major undertaking that needs a considered approach, whether you’re looking for a sectional sofa, outdoor furniture, lounge chairs, or couches for a home with pets. But shopping for furniture for allergies is a whole different ball game. I’m allergic to pet dander, pollen, and dust mites, and while I’m currently working to alleviate symptoms through immunotherapy, in the meantime, I am determined to get furniture that will make my day-to-day life easier.
Fortunately, after 15 years as an editor, I’ve had the chance to test the best furniture – from air purifiers to couches – and I have a good idea of what will work best for allergies. I’ve also done tons of research on the fabrics, cleaning routines, gadgets, and even plants that can contribute to a clean, breathable home. From the Coway Airmega 400 air purifier to the LG Style smart steam closet, these products will clean everything from the air to your clothing in order to relieve allergy symptoms and alleviate suffering. And they’re all available at places like Amazon, Walmart, and Nordstrom, and from furniture brands you love like Albany Park and Saatva.
