What Causes Hives On Sitting On A Couch?

I have had my couch for 4 year but just recently anyone sitting on the couch will get hives where ever the skin comes in contact with the couch. The couch doesn t smell bad so I wouldn t think it was mold. Not sure what it is or what I should do to prevent it.
