Most upholstered furniture is covered with a material that has a low melting or burning point. It is filled with cotton, foam, or other material-- all of which also happen to be used for insulation. Bed bugs are virtually flat and can easily fit themselves in very small crevices into which any heat treatment does not and cannot reach reach. Although it is true that bed-bugs feed only on blood; they can live for long periods without feeding. Bedbugs are social insects that like to have close relationships--so, when a furniture article comes out of the treatment (if it has been six months or less); there is a brand-new colony of bed-bugs all fresh and ready to start multiplying. There is one heat treatment that I know is about 90% effective and that is to incinerate the building and all furniture but you must get everything. I haven't tried it, but, another method that might be effective or that could be developed is insect repellent. A person could take a bath or shower in such repellent; but it would have to be twice a day, at least, and, all clothing would have to be soaked.
Heat treatment, cold treatment, treatment with gasses, treatment with existing chemicals; are they at all effective?
You can figure it out for yourself.
