Go to Bemz and have a wider pick.

I have Blekinge covers in white. When I get a stain, I spray bleach on it and then wash and dry. I've never had any issues with a finish coming off. It's a basic white cotton twill.

The Stenasa white is a different material AND it has pleating to keep everything looking a little more tailored (notice the pleating on the front of the sofa skirt and the sides of the cushions).

Blekinge White is like a twill fabric. It's super washable but you can't really put it in the dryer. The only issue I had with it was that it has some sort of finish on it, that came off in patches the first couple washings. The finish is cream-ish. The fabric is white.

They could be getting rid of the cheaper one & have lowered the price to move it.

One is cotton and one is polyester. Both can be machine washed. I'd guess that the polyester is more tear and spill resistant.

Seems like the $50 is the outlier in terms of price, vs. all the other colors which are $150 or $250. The two white versions are made of different materials, as well. I'm guessing the cheap one isn't of the same quality as the others, but who knows.

No they are not.. the first shows you the "Stenasa white" and the second shows you "blekinge white." the first costs 250.00 and the second $50.00 (covers only).

That is my point exactly - what is the difference? They look so similar? Why the huge price difference?

They are both white and one is cotton and the other linen/polyester. Why the huge difference in price - $50 x $250?

Appearance wise, easy to clean, etc - is one much better than other?

Trying to decide which one to get.

Tia!
