- We flag Volatile organic compound (VOC) off-gassing, Degradation and microfiber shedding over time and Synthetic backing breakdown and mold risk on the Safavieh and not on the Safavieh.
- The Safavieh is Polypropylene and polyester blend with acrylic backing where the Safavieh is polypropylene/polyester blend pile on synthetic backing, 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.
