I have a sofabed with a permanent label but the mattress does not have any fire-safety label
I have a 2 seater with no display label but it has a permanent label.
I still have receipts for both, is this any good or do I have to get rid of the furniture?
You need to contact your local trading standards for a definitive answer.
But, there is a difference between the permanent label and the display label. As far as I can see from the Regs the display label is only required at the point of sale for new items. As you are not selling new items then this requirement does not apply to you.
Your furniture has permanent labels so should be OK. Mattresses are not required to have permanent labels, so the fact that yours does not have one is not necessarily a problem. However, I am not sure if there are other requirements.
If the mattress is part of the sofa bed then I would guess it will be OK. However, as I said you are best to check with trading standards to be certain.

They have to have fire retardent labels. If not, you can be prosecuted under Health & Safety laws.
