Ben Vorlich Tartan Axminster Carpet | Wool Plaid vs Plush Retreat-Ivory 12 ft. Wide x Cut to Length 65 oz. SD Polyester Texture Carpet 1 Sq. yrd.: which is safer?

Where these two actually differ

• We flag Formaldehyde and VOC off-gassing, Azo dyes and heavy metals in colorants, Dust and dust mite allergens and Moth and insect infestation risk on the Axminster and not on the LifeProof.
• We flag Volatile organic compound (VOC) off-gassing from treatments and adhesives and Coating degradation and microfiber/treatment particle shedding over time on the LifeProof and not on the Axminster.
• The Axminster is wool plaid, Axminster weave where the LifeProof is Polyester with unknown stain/water-resistant treatment, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
• The gap is 45 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Axminster is the one to buy.
• We are less certain about the LifeProof grade, at 45% confidence against 72%, because it discloses less.
