Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Azo dyes in polyester textiles and Microplastic shedding from fill and cover on the Blazing Needles and not on the Pier 1 Imports.
  • We flag Formaldehyde in resin finishes, Azo dye residue and allergens and Antimony catalyst in polyester on the Pier 1 Imports and not on the Blazing Needles.
  • The Blazing Needles is Polyester fill with polyester cover where the Pier 1 Imports is woven textile, likely cotton or synthetic blend, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
