Where these two actually differ
- We flag Azo dyes and colorant toxicity and Off-gassing of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from dyes or finishes on the Brooklinen and not on the Brooklinen.
- We flag Azo dyes and heavy metal colorants and Fiber shedding or microfiber release on the Brooklinen and not on the Brooklinen.
- The Brooklinen is 100% cotton percale weave where the Brooklinen is 100% European linen, washed finish, 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.
Both products run through the same public rubric, which covers materials, coatings, brand disclosure, lab findings, and recalls, plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis. Grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests. How grades work →
