Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Formaldehyde in finishing resins, Azo dyes and colorfast concerns, Heavy metal contaminants in dyes and Microbial growth and mold on the and not on the Ethan Allen.
  • We flag Flame retardants (brominated or phosphorus-based), Volatile organic compound (VOC) off-gassing, Water repellent finish degradation and leachables and Formaldehyde-based resins in fabric sizing or dyes on the Ethan Allen and not on the .
  • The is 100% cotton where the Ethan Allen is polyester fabric with unknown finish treatment, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
  • These two are level, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.
  • We are less certain about the Ethan Allen grade, at 45% confidence against 82%, because it discloses less.
