Ben Vorlich Tartan Axminster Carpet | Wool Plaid vs Amped Up Off Shore RR Off Shore Textured Carpet 7L922-131-SAMP: 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 Style Selections.
• We flag Formaldehyde releasers in applied finishes, Flame retardants in polyester/nylon fibers, Volatile organic compound (VOC) off-gassing and Coating degradation and fiber shedding over time on the Style Selections and not on the Axminster.
• The Axminster is wool plaid, Axminster weave where the Style Selections is Textured nylon/polyester blend carpet with applied stain and water repellent finish, 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 Style Selections grade, at 35% confidence against 72%, because it discloses less.
