- We flag Formaldehyde resins in fiber finishing, Undisclosed durable water-repellent (DWR) or fluorinated coatings, Azo dyes in colored fibers and Microfiber or fiber shedding with degradation on the and not on the Helix.
- The Helix is polyurethane foam, polyester cover where the is organic cotton/natural fibers (no waterproofing disclosed), which is most of the difference in these two grades.
