Where these two actually differ
- We flag Azo dyes and residual dye toxins, Microplastic shedding and Allergen from dyes or dust mites on the Parachute and not on the West Elm.
- We flag Residual processing chemicals (bleach, dyes, finishes) and Azo dyes and heavy metals in colorants on the West Elm and not on the Parachute.
- The Parachute is 100% cotton cover where the West Elm is 100% linen with no stated finish or treatment, 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 →
