Question
The pellets are concentrated near a torn section of the bottom lining. There is also shredded paper but no strong odor. I want to know whether the couch can be cleaned safely or whether the inside needs professional inspection.

Pest Or Not answer
The combination of pointed pellets, a torn lining, and shredded material fits possible rodent nesting better than isolated debris. Avoid sitting on or vacuuming the couch until the interior is inspected. A small accessible deposit may be wet-cleaned, but contaminated filling or a concealed nest can require professional cleaning or disposal.
