Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) from acrylic backing and dyes, Microfiber shedding from polypropylene and polyester blend and Acrylic backing degradation and leachables over time on the Safavieh and not on the Safavieh.
  • 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.

Both products run through the same public rubric: 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 →
