I'm trying to understand Borel sets. I am looking for a visual (i.e., constructive) $F_{\sigma\delta}$ subset of $[0,1]$ of measure $1$ which is not $F_\sigma$. Any idea or suggestion would be appreciated.

Use $[0,1]\setminus\Bbb Q$: it’s clearly a $G_\delta$ and therefore an $F_{\sigma\delta}$, but it’s not an $F_\sigma$.

Didn't you mean in fact: "Not $G_{\delta\sigma}$? – Etienne Sep 13 '13 at 13:23
